Common Physics Misconceptions

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.

.Beginnings

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)

Arriving at each new city, the traveler finds again a past of his that he did not know he had.

Careers I have considered

DREAM JOB:

Professional writer.  Like Popular Science writer.  Or a blogger.

Biologist. Improving humans via augmentations.  Saving the world from cancer, etc.

National Geographic photographer.  Partly because of this amazing video.

Industrial designer.  Like Sir Jonathan Ive.  Still one of my dream job.  When I retire, I want to buy a giant 3-D printing machine.  I’ll dream up designs in AutoCAD, and I’ll create whatever I want.

Navy SEAL.  Scuba-diving, snorkeling, and stealthy missions via submarines are really fun.  Not so keen on the enduring-unimaginable-hardship part.

Starving artist.  Doesn’t sound so bad, except for the starving part.

Graphic designer.  Saving the Gotham City from DC Comics.

Computer scientist.  Maybe if I take Computational Mathematics, I could combine this with my love of Aerospace.

Interestingly, I’ve never felt any desire to become a doctor.  I guess I lack that section of the Indian genome.

However, I got the 'engineer' section, as I'm studying to become a Rocket scientist.  Like Tony Stark (if you're wondering, he's Iron Man.

svishnuu - THE WAY I SEE IT
THE WAY I SEE IT

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)
