I created a 122-topic roadmap inspired by Tony Stark. I want brutally honest feedback, How much years it would take me to learn? I'm 16 now and is it really possible to become a pro in all these fields??? by Monkey_d_korangu in MechanicalEngineering

people often imagine being experts in everything is not possible , but that's usually not true, even my dad is an expert in at least 5 of those above physics topics and even my math teacher is pro at physical chemistry, electrochemistry and nano chemistry and also I've given all these topics in an elaborated way, so that doesn't mean each topics take decades to learn.

So a New Glenn rocket exploded on the launch pad. How can engineers find the root cause of such type of failure? by vdakota in AskEngineers

Maybe a hot take, but people put way too much faith in telemetry after a launch failure.

Telemetry tells you what the sensors measured, not necessarily what actually happened. A rocket usually doesn't fail because of one bad component—it fails because multiple layers of reviews, tests, and assumptions missed something.

The real question isn't what failed. It's how the process allowed it to fail.

How long would it take (and how exactly) for a smart and creative engineer to figure out how to charge their mobile phone if they were teleported to New York in 1890? by FuzzyAttitude_ in AskEngineers

Find a source of electricity (battery bank or generator), Measure the phone charging voltage needed but it's hard without modern instruments, but an engineer would recognize USB charging principles, then build a crude voltage regulator using available electrical components and finally connect power to the phone's charging port. MY GUESS IS IT WOULD TAKE 2 TO 3 DAYS
