Quantum Physics For Everybody
fiziko writes in with a self-described "blatant self-promotion" of a worthwhile service for those wishing to go beyond Khan Academy physics: namely Bureau 42's Summer School. "As those who subscribe to the 'Sci-Fi News' slashbox may know, Bureau 42 has launched its first Summer School. This year we're doing a nine-part series (every Monday in July and August) taking readers from high school physics to graduate level physics, with no particular mathematical background required. Follow the link for part 1."
I'm glad I don't have a whole country full of deceitful, greedy kikes stealing all my water and land anywhere near me. Fucking Jews can't just live in peace. They have to steal other people's land. Our national economy is collapsing from the Jewbanks doing their usual Jewthing. You see, with Jews, you lose. That's how THEY win. They WIN by making YOU lose. So let's lose the Jews.
Global warming could be swiftly solved if we incinerated all of the Jews. Their ashes would be ejected into the upper atmosphere, where they would block some sunlight from hitting the earth. The economy would improve thanks to the absence of Jewish predatory lending, and it would buy us time to deal with climate change. Two birds, one stone.
Fun with Facts:
* Isreal has a Jewish population of 5,309,000.
* America has a Jewish population of 5,275,000.
Guess who really owns America? Hint hint, it isn't the Americans.
What? No math? Do you really believe that you could learn any science without math? And not only any kind of math but university degree math?
"Quantum physics without math" == pretentious pseudoscience drivel.
But it'll still have more intellectual rigor than the newly opened Glenn Beck University, where "Quantum Mechanics 101" is "Jeebus makes it work. Math is for fags. Buy gold!"
I agree.
"Intelligence for dummies" by "I. schmel profit".
"Quantum Physics for bears"
citing "Introduction to Trailer Court physics" on your resume for LHC would certainly get you noticed.
I see your point. the age old problem of deciding what various words mean.
As a sidenote, I went to the page and tried to go through the first PDF. I don't really like it, and i doubt the effort is of any use (anyone unfamiliar with the concepts will not be able to understand them from these lectures --- I think). But the guy trying to do it has to start somewhere.
new sig
True. And the people who received and understood your explanation would in no way be equipped to either teach physics themselves or to do novel physics research of their own. So, I stand by my point: physics without math is not *graduate level* physics, which prepares one to either teach or do research (or both).
SIGSEGV caught, terminating
wait... not that kind of sig.
Yeh, all those basket ball / socker / snooker etc.. players spend all their time brushing up on their calculus between games to make sure their equipped to work the with physics.
apparently they don't teach limits properly in the UK, which is probably why we dropped out soon. Best give the education system a kick up the ass and get them teaching limits properly for the next world cup or away game.
thank God the internet isn't a human right.
