So, looking through my notes here, rocket science is:
$dv = -v_\text{ejection}(dm/m)$
Then I ran Dijkstra's algorithm across my notes (903 pages, 90 folder, 18MB), and the shortest pathway between rocket propulsion and communications (which is presumably the closest concept to "note-taking" represented in my obsidian vault),
Communications and locomotion are both applications of physics -- rocket propulsion being one specific model.
By virtue of the fact that both tasks are physics, I would claim the inverse and say that note-taking is indeed rocket-science, and therefore complicated as the common metaphor would suggest you're implying.
But then I loosened constraints (essentially 6 degrees-of-separation between communications and rocket propulsion), and came to the following realizations:
- Ink, toner, and the advent of electronics like the laser printer, are owed at-least in part to the broad effort in science of the space race.
- Additionally, since the flames of a rocket reach temperatures that would exceed human limitations, and the human limitation that speech is primary form of communications means that good note taking is a way to overcome a key human limitation I've identified.
- And since presumably, human communications regarding models of physics resulted in the physical laws and principles that resulted in us producing the thrust force and exceeding the escape speed imposed due to the gravitational interaction using combustion -- note taking caused rocket science.
Just my calculus on the situation.
