    Or the 80s… neutrons, protons and electrons were the only sub-atomic particles discussed.

    Baldo’s lucky to have Gracie to ‘splain that to him.

    And to me? I started becoming overwhelmed at the first panel…

    I don’t want to learn about the physics, because I know it will always be soooooo complicated.

    The physical universe is made of four basic elements. they are: neutrons, electrons, protons, and morons. Defying Newtonian physics, morons often gather in groups, and are then called “politicians.”

    I learned the basics of atomic structure in HS Chemistry (the elements of the elements, so to speak), but we got a little bit of an overview of subatomics the next year in Physics. Nothing too intense, just a survey…

    I always found the CONCEPTS of Physics fascinating, but I hated the math involved. In college as an English/Art major, I found “Physics for Non-Majors” to be one of my favorite classes. Lots of cool demonstrations, very few calculations.

    In High School physics, my teacher didn’t really know how to grade me. We had multiple choice tests, but we were expected to show our work. I’d work the formulas as far as I could (which would only be about a third of the way) and then I’d leap to the right answer. He ended up giving me a “B” for a final grade because I clearly understood the general principles of what was being taught, even though I couldn’t do the math. Since it was clear that I wasn’t going to pursue a scientific or technical career path, he figured I knew what I needed to know.

    On the basis of my own situation and proclivities, I nearly got the whole curriculum for the whole school changed; the curricdulum director (who also taught rhetoric and literature at the local university) wanted to institute a “Physics for Poets” class for the benefit of people like me…
