I recently heard from a friend that some universities in what used to be the Eastern block did not teach the second law of thermodynamics to their students, because that was seen to collide with Marxist philosophy that the world was going to perfection, and was therefore politically incorrect to the highest degree. He also mentioned that Goedel's theorem was taught to be fallacious, for the same reason. Is this true? -- Thomas Koenig, ecmtwhk@ccu1.aukuni.ac.nz, ib09@rz.uni-karlsruhe.de The joy of engineering is to find a straight line on a double logarithmic diagram.
