The difficulty is in the details. Small differences lead to bigger differences, like in chaos theory [0] What if the model says this coil needs to be 23.1212722 centimeter? Or two coils need to be 37.1441129 centimeters apart? How do you build that? Mathematics is always much more precise than engineering.

- HPsquared 1y agoYou need to think of what happens if it's 0.001 cm too big, small, etc. Manufacturing always involves errors and engineering requires tolerances.
- ninetyninenine 1y agoDoesn’t our engineering account for that? We never build things that need that level of detail in our tolerances. Like for example an airplane.
- KingOfCoders 1y agoOP "How come the mathematical modeling and simulations haven't yet yielded us the perfect design that will get things right?"
- ninetyninenine 1y agoRight how come we don't have models that allows to simulate designs with bigger tolerances? That's the perfect design.
