Testing the theory: taking Einstein to primary schools


No wonder our kids are turning off science. They learn more modern physics from The Big Bang Theory sitcom than they do in the classroom.
Our experiment shows that 11-year-old brains can easily assimilate these new ideas, and often better than old brains can. And already we are finding the same is true with our program on quantum mechanics.

The Relativity of WrongBy Isaac Asimov


http://chem.tufts.edu/answersinscience/relativityofwrong.htm

I RECEIVED a letter the other day. It was handwritten in crabbed penmanship so that it was very difficult to read. Nevertheless, I tried to make it out just in case it might prove to be important. In the first sentence, the writer told me he was majoring in English literature, but felt he needed to teach me science. (I sighed a bit, for I knew very few English Lit majors who are equipped to teach me science, but I am very aware of the vast state of my ignorance and I am prepared to learn as much as I can from anyone, so I read on.)
