alt Hacker NewsTitled The Ridiculous Engineering of Jet Engines, this is what everybody should watch first; Veritasium did an excellent job here.
I watched it when it came out and i still am mind-blown with how Physics and Manufacturing Technology come together via "Materials Science" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Materials_science) to create unimaginable things. This is what enables and sustains our modern world.
PS: Anybody studying/working in Materials Science please recommend some books/papers for study.
I remember back when I was in university a long while ago all the PhDs had fees except for material science where you could get paid to do one because there was so much demand for the research.
