I.... hm. An engineer is an inventor the way a physicist would be to a philosopher, if that would make sense. A physicist studies physics, but you can specialize in a category-- like nuclear physics. A nuclear engineer would be applying that knowledge to machines.
[ She nods to herself, sipping her tea. ] In a way... if you become really good at being an engineer or a physicist, you can predict anything from when the next eclipse would be five thousand years from now, to which star will be the next north star in two thousand years, to exactly what time you'd have to leave the earth to land on the moon with the shortest amount of travel time.
[ So. Kinda like an astrologer predicting the future. ] These predictions are all accomplished by science.
Ah, but we wouldn't be able to predict what sort of life you might have or who your soul mate is based upon what heavly bodies you were born under. [ She says with a laugh. ] In fact, since the first time the ancients have invented the zodiacs, the axis of the earth has shifted. The months and the zodiac are not aligned as they once were traditionally.
