generally, there are two reasons you do testing; 1) to determine if feasible; 2) to seek how much of a beating your product can empiracally take
academics focus too much on No. 1
Big oil companies fund misinformation and fearmongering campaigns about nuclear energy to preserve their chokehold on the energy industry, and retarded boomers lap it up
No. 2 is what proves you can reasonably meet a requirement and how much liability
nah, they don't actively fund misinformation campaigns. hell, BP is one of the major players that developed LNG tech
that's a function of marketing retards that don't know their ass from their elbow
not white enough
I've always beleived that it is far more feasible to build a container for nuclear waste that can survive catostrophic failure of a launch into space rather than bury the shit and hope to hell a container lasts for 10k years without problems.
One you can test the HELL out of until you are satisfied with the risk
the other cannot be tested
unless you have 10k years to stand around and wait

I am selling CRAM for 20 gold coins a bucket
Would you like some CRAM
Has anyone seen any development of games that incorporate Simulation/Stimulation of real world design requirements?
Just fling nuclear waste into the sun
Problem solved
Kerbal Space Program has kind of this idea in that it tries to provide parameters that are as close to real world as possible so you can test your designs
Mission Passed
respect gained
Let the private sector develop the spaceflight tech as they are already doing, then just contract them
that goes as a given
but what would REALLY speed development is following the Kerbal Space Program model
only at a much deeper level
using a game with an extremely realistic set of parameters that mimic real life as much as possible
then in game do everything from develop new materials, new configurations, new applications and test them
At that point you're just talking about a physics simulation program
that's part of it, yes; it's like having one library of programs that mimics reality as closely as possible in different areas and another set of libraries that builds and tests shit
one is for education
So just CAD and a physics simulation engine
more complicated than that
FAR more complicated
Once you go past a certain complexity and accuracy of simulation, there's no reason to make a 'game' out of it
but generally, wrapping engineering processes into an intergrated game enviornment with objectives
there is though for the same reason competiton generates new ideas
and that the OS envior is much more agile than the proprietary env
Once you hit a certain entry threshold where the game is too complex and simulation-oriented for a broad audience, you stop gaining anything by making it engaging for a broad audience
Because they won't play it
Engineers will continue to use the programs they already use, because those programs already do exactly what they need them to do
it would have to be an open framework and not a traditional game
