Criminal Science Education in the Era of Postscientism |
In 2001 Jos Uffink published a paper exposing the appalling obscurity
inherent in fundamental scientific concepts:
http://philsci-archive.pitt.edu/archive/00000313/
Since educators would not call Uffink's paper "crank science" (their
usual reaction in analogous cases:
http://www.iop.org/EJ/abstract/0143-0807/26/6/S09/ ), and since the
obscurity in question is taught to freshmen, and since science
education is just dying, one would expect Uffink's paper to be followed
by a series of science education congresses with revolutionary
consequences. Needless to say, no revolution took place. Rather,
Uffink's paper convinced criminal educators that their strategy is the
best one.

Does this prove or disprove relativity :
<< Figure 3: The wave impedance measures the relative
strength of electric and magnetic fields. It is a function of
source structure. >>

Things are going better than you think, Valev. Dream up some other
crap to waste computer storage with. Have a nice day. Go back to sleep.
