Daedalus - 01 Jul 2008 19:06 GMT I used to admire physicists in a big way for their big ideas and fascinating concepts. These days they just seem like nutty professors and bullshit artists to me. They are the big talkers that never deliver on much. The daydreamers that don't seem to ever give you a straight answer about anything. Sure we can fold space or make a lightsaber in maybe a hundred years.
Astronomers are kind of the same way, but astronomers actually discover something new once in a while, or the claim to. Since I don't own a Hubble telescope, I don't know if that giant planet is really in the next solar system.
We've got biochemists that are on the verge of creating single cells out of amino acids in a lab and those yokel physicists are busy building giant atom smashers under the ground to look for dark matter. And working on this:

The lightsaber may actually be possible in the future though once physics gets rid of this "spacetime" bullshit and comes back to space and time seperately for measurement systems.

Yup, and even more sad, they will bend space and THEN they will say they can take the shortest distance between two points, but without the bend being far enough,, they can't make tunnels to find the straight line as the shortest distance.

Oh yeah, like physicists came up with all that stuff. C'mon guys. You really do think we're all a bunch of bumbling rubes out here in non science world, don't you?

These days they just seem like nutty professors [quoted text clipped - 27 lines] > and integrated circuits come from? And yes they are an integral part > of the modern automobile and airplane. Regarding Sam Wormley's question: "Where did those transistors and integrated circuits come from?"
1. Marconi set up a company to send "telegrams" over long distances where cables were not practical or were too costly, as he could make a lot of money charging folks several dollars for each word transmitted between America and Europe.
As can be seen, from the excerpt below, Marconi generated big sparks and used a "coherer", which is a "a little tube of glass..filled with finely powdered fragments of nickel and silver" to detect if the spark was off or on.
"A typical high-power spark gap was a rotating commutator with six to twelve contacts per wheel, nine inches to a foot wide, driven by about 2000 volts DC"
McClure's Magazine, February, 1902, pages 291-299: MARCONI'S ACHIEVEMENT. TELEGRAPHING ACROSS THE OCEAN WITHOUT WIRES. "In his actual transoceanic experiments of last December, Mr. Marconi's transmitting station in England was fitted with twenty masts 210 feet high, each with its suspended wire, though not all of them were used. A current of electricity sufficient to operate some 300 incandescent lamps was used, the resulting spark being so brilliant that one could not have looked at it with the unshaded eye."
"it was far more difficult to devise an apparatus to receive and register them. For this purpose Marconi adopted a device invented by an Italian, Calzecchi, and improved by a Frenchman, M. Branley, called the coherer, the very crux of the system, without which there could be no wireless telegraphy."
2. Although this worked, it was obvious that it was desirable to improve channel capacity and sensitivity.
In 1908 Lee De Forest, an American inventor with over 300 patents to his credit including one in 1919 for a sound-on-film process.
placed a "control grid" in Edison's "diode" and patented what came to be known as the "triode".
It is interesting to see that although De Forest was very creative, was instrumental in getting radio up and running, and married several beautiful gals, he was not too popular with the gang that was working to get control of the movies and the media, perhaps because he was so active against the instigation of the Class Wars of the 1900's.
Note that De Forest has been ignored or smeared by the media, and the gang that opposed De Forest even got the United States Attorney General to sue De Forest for fraud stating that his claim of regeneration (Positive feedback) was an "absurd".
But cut to the chase.
3. In 1906 G.W. Pickard patented the cat's whisker diode which became widely used to "rectify" and thus "demodulate" radio signals.
4. In the 1920s, the Westinghouse company bought Lee De Forest's patent, (Which made radio amplification, selection, and sensitivity possible.) and they formed partnerships with several large firms to promote radio. At that point radio took off.
5. In 1925 Julius Edgar Lilienfeld patented a "field effect transistor" which was basically a solid sate version of the triode, combined with the "cat's whisker" idea.
6. In 1945, after WWI, and after Lilienfeld's patents expired, Bell Labs hacked the point contact, germanium transistor. which was based on the "cat's whisker" diode, and the triode, and others followed up adopting Lilienfeld's field effect approach.
So to answer Sammy's question: "Where did those transistors and integrated circuits come from?"
They came as all things do from the natural evolution of need and technology.
The Bell System needed a low cost, low power consumption amplifying device, and they got it by exploiting a few discoveries made over the previous few decades. Edison's diode, De Forest's triode, Pickard solid state diode, and Lilienfeld's solid state triode.
It should be noted that Edison, De Forest, Pickard, and Lilienfeld were not quantum mechanics and General Relativity gurus, nor for that matter, was the Texas Instrument engineer who invented integrated circuits.

those packages are often called "hocky pucks" by the engineers that use them every day in high power designs. and they are simply upscaled sizewise from the little solid state switches weve been producing for decades. a little change of doping here, a little metal deposition there, and voila! an expensive solid state switch with damned near zero ohms for high power designs like electric cars.
oh, and, by the way, they hire engineers to run the semiconductor lines nowadays. and they hire engineers to design the next rev of semiconductor line.
no physicists needed.

Since I never got into semi development I've had little occasion to use much beyond Newton, but sometimes life pulls a surprise and you wind up using something you thought was totally useless when going to school.
Anyway, about this thread...
Pysicists (and most 'ists) usually invent concepts for "things" and seldom actual "things", which is left to the engineers who put the concepts together into a product.
That the Sony DVD factory is full of engineers and probably no physicists should not be a surprise to anyone with the least bit of common sense.

Physicists usually arrive at a general principle or a theory that covers a broad range of phenomena. It is in fact very unusual for a physicist to have a theory that provides only one or two applications. The OP appears to be looking for a direct chain from a physicist's discovered principle to a clearly recognized application that stems directly from it.
But the principles and the theories in fact can be applied broadly and over and over and over again. And this is what applied physicists, engineers, and inventors do -- repurpose the same principle or theory to generate multiple applications.
So suppose you have three physicists that collaboratively discover some fundamental principle. And then suppose that 1357 engineers and inventors produce 2395 practical applications from that one fundamental principle. Then who has made the stronger impact? The multitude of engineers and inventors that produced almost 2400 useful products, or the handful of physicists that found the principle that all the rest used?

I'm reminded about story about the different parts of the body arguing about who was more important: the brain, the heart, the stomach, the feet, and the a.shole. In the end, the a.shole clenched shut for a week and a half and won the argument. I suspect the OP is taking the position of the a.shole.

you see, we engineers actually INNOVATE and DESIGN things that are useful, as opposed to physicists who stand at blackboards or scrawling up trees worth of paper whilst pulling out their hair trying to figure out something, anything, even just one thing in their ~lifetime~, that ~might~ be even ~marginally~ useful.

It's nice to know what to ask the fab for when you need to nudge the process to rebalance a device to meet an operating requirement (like the radar has to wake up at -55C and be able to dissipate full power after soaking all day over hot tarmac).

Now you are just propagandizing for the hell of it. The question was whether physicists have done anything of any value lately. They have, and several examples have been provided. Then you follow it up with complaints that value has been ADDED to the work of physicists by mathematicians, engineers, and software geeks. That is true, but it doesn't detract from the value of the original contribution by the physicists.
The Wright brothers innovated powered, heavier-than-air flight. Is that contribution diminished because others came along after and added passenger seats and little tables that fold out from the arm rests?
Perhaps you mean to goad by demanding a practical contribution that physicists have made lately that no one from any other profession has touched? Perhaps you just mean to goad. Perhaps it doesn't matter that you don't know what the f*k you're talking about when you're goading.

"Consider that language a moment. 'Purposefully and materially supported hostilities against the United States' is in the eye of the beholder, and this administration has proven itself to be astonishingly impatient with criticism of any kind. The broad powers given to Bush by this legislation allow him to capture, indefinitely detain, and refuse a hearing to any American citizen who speaks out against Iraq or any other part of the so-called 'War on Terror.'
"If you write a letter to the editor attacking Bush, you could be deemed as purposefully and materially supporting hostilities against the United States. If you organize or join a public demonstration against Iraq, or against the administration, the same designation could befall you. One dark-comedy aspect of the legislation is that senators or House members who publicly disagree with Bush, criticize him, or organize investigations into his dealings could be placed under the same designation. In effect, Congress just gave Bush the power to lock them up." -- William Rivers Pitt
"It has become clear in recent months that a critical mass of the American people have seen through the lies of the Bush administration; with the president's polls at an historic low, growing resistance to the war Iraq, and the Democrats likely to take back the Congress in mid-term elections, the Bush administration is on the ropes.
