Episode 5: F=ma?

The most rock-solid equation in classical physics is a special case — and the gap between what science is and what the culture thinks science is is real.  Joe — an MSEE, principal engineering fellow, chief engineer on missile programs — walks the audience through what science actually is from inside the discipline, what the culture made of it from outside, and the cost of the gap.  Ember frames; Joe lands the argument.  An old philosophical technique put to work by an engineer who has seen the equation he was taught at fifteen quietly revised before he turned twenty.
