The one that got the most votes, silly. How else could one determine truth? Too modern. :(

There are still depletion parts around.
Hmm. in my school the engineer's were certainly smarter the physics guys... at least undergrad. In grad school, at my time, there were a lot of smart people coming over from China and India and elsewhere. Our school sorta used the US students to teach recitations and labs, and then got a masters degree after 2-3 years.. kinda used by the system.
I learned a ton of physics from foreign grad students. Bidyut Bhattacharya*, was in the next door lab. He'd help me solve some problem, and then give me a problem to solve, before I came back for more help.
It was a wonderful time! George H.
*I couldn't remember how to spell his name... but found him on youtube!!! now I've gotta send him an email.
Works in climatology and political science (same thing) departments.
** The original HP200 Wein Bridge oscillators were produced by HP prior to WW2 and Walt Disney famously ordered 8 modified versions to help create the sound track to his Fantasia movie.
See several pics near middle of this link:
Previous high quality oscillator designs had used LC oscillators or much more expensive RF twin oscillator " beat frequency " methods that covered the audio band in one range.
HP200s featured 1:10 switched ranges to cover the audio band or a little more. However, using a simple RC oscillator cut manufacturing costs and considerably improved performance at the same time - see the price Mr Disney got his oscillators for !!
