Common Physics Misconceptions
Isn’t it time that we stop teaching our kids that the Earth is flat? Sure, we can’t exactly jump into special relativity in 8th grade science classes, but surely we can bring physics education into the 20th, or maybe 21st century?
A fine message by Henry from minutephysics, to go along with his open letter to the President on physics education.

Earth, you are my wishing star. Here’s how you look from my home on the surface of Mars.
This newfangled micro-blog is either (1) a chance to test my creative web skills, (2) a space where I can throw my deepest thinking (sort of like my philosophy) of my deepest soul, (3) a cool to place to express what I see through the lens of my camera (did you know that iPhone is the most popular camera in the world?!), or (4) some mixture of everything.
If you continue to read this, I can assure you three (3) things: (1) impeccable grammar and spelling (thanks to auto spell check), (2) a total lack of entertainment (literally, everyone’s view of entertainment is different), (3) an alliteration of photos, and (4) so many listings.
(and of course parentheses)

In a nutshell or two: I love aerospace. I'm an engineer, writer, a photographer, and a reader. And, of course, a blogger. I spent my high school years in New York City, managing to defy every urban bum new yorker stereotype (except for the "bum" part). My school life basically revolved around Aviation and Science Bowl. If you continue to read this, I can assure you three (3) things: (1) impeccable grammar (yea, ok) and spelling (thanks to auto spell check), (2) a total lack of entertainment (literally, everyone’s view of entertainment is different), (3) an alliteration of photos, and (4) so many listings. (and of course parentheses)
