How to test your Physics teacher about relativity?
How to test your Physics teacher about relativity?
by John Doan
Zitat:
I’m lucky to learn Physics with a teacher who always tells me what he knows. And what he doesn’t. He told me that he’d been told to tell us that Einstein’s theory of relativity has revolutionized mankind’s awareness of time and space but he didn’t fully understand it.
„Then why do we say it’s the greatest theory?“ I protested.
„Because all our scientists have said it, all books have said it, and all experiments have confirmed it,“ he replied.
„But you said that you don’t understand it?“ I asked.
„Even an idiot can still say he doesn’t understand Einstein, it doesn’t mean Einstein is wrong.“
And it works. I became quiet then, went past Year 12 Physics with top mark, and no one suspected I was an idiot. You see, if you keep your mouth shut or keep praising what others praise, no one would ever know. Does your teacher know you are an idiot? Or the other way, do you have a teacher who claims he understands Einstein? How can you be sure if your Physics teacher fully understands Einstein’s theory or not? And for that purpose, here is a test, any Year12 student can put to his Physics teacher. And be warned, he could fail (unless he has read this book.) .
