The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

I also learned somewhat chronologically (Newton, Maxwell, Einstein...). But the article is commenting on observed results, and apparently they are -so far- very promising. Obviously, you don't throw tensors at 4th graders. If I understand what they're doing, they are teaching in a descriptive fashion, and saving the math for later when the kids advance enough. Newtonian mechanics are kinda boring compared to Einstein. Yeah, you can predict dropping balls and such, but black holes are cooler. ;-)
