"Why do you prefer to be ignorant over just opening your mind to the truth?' I opened my mind to the truth in 1960, my junior year in HS In 1956 a group of university physics professors and high school physics teachers, led by MIT's Jerrold Zacharias and Francis Friedman, formed the Physical Science Study Committee (PSSC) to consider ways of reforming the teaching of introductory courses in physics. Educators had come to realize that textbooks in physics did little to stimulate students' interest in the subject, failed to teach them to think like physicists, and afforded few opportunities for them to approach problems in the way that a physicist should. In 1957, after the Soviet Union successfully orbited Sputnik , fear spread in the United States that American schools lagged dangerously behind in science. As one response to the perceived Soviet threat the U.S. government increased National Science Foundation funding in support of PSSC objectives. libraries.mit.edu = "You look at two different accounts, one based on fraud, the other based on science. And you choose the one based on fraud." Uh, no. I chose real science. Here are others who think like me, or more accurtely, who lead me.
