ROCKETEER IN LIBEL SHOCK

Blonde, buxom, Conor Houghton, eminent rocketeer and scientist, writes

It seems that certain passages on the rocket home page gave the impression Richard Serjeantson knows slightly less about science than the rest of us. I now realize no impression could be more ridiculous or further from the truth. Although everyone except Richard has at least one degree in science or maths and almost everyone but Richard is involved in scientific or mathematical research I now realise that his interest in the history of the intellect has furnished him with a knowledge of natural philosophy, which is to say science, which is, I now realize, both broader and sounder than anyone elses. I deeply regret any insult or injury I may have caused Richard.

Scientific epiphany

While Richard was once, while not ignorant of science, not knowledgeable. He was, for example, unaware of Galileo's principal of falling bodies. Now, in contrast, he holds the Trinity Fellowship in the History of all Scientific Ideas and is conversant in Mechanical Science and Mechanical Philosophy. Amazingly, using modern techniques, historians of the history of science have traced pictures which bracket the exact moment of this transition.

BEFORE	AFTER
It is cold and thus travels upwards, yet I am not warm and I travel laterly, the sun heats me as it rises, how can this be ?	You know, a particular configurations of threebranes and fivebranes in type IIB string theory would give a corresponadance between monopole moduli spaces and certain 2+1-d supersymmetric vacua.

We live our lives in future history's view. The completeness with which events are recorded should inspire us to goodness and good. Even so private a moment as one mans first scientific epiphany has not gone unrecorded, that that man is Richard Searjentson is both moving and just.
