Quote:You can lead the sheep to the stock tank, but you can't force them to drink it. Is your measure of the ineffectiveness of science education based on the number of people who don't subscribe to the dogma?
I guess so, although obviously the word "dogma" to describe a gigantic body of varied, ever-changing theory and evidence is a rather novel definition of the word.
Wouldn't you measure the effectiveness of physics education on the basis of whether or not they get the "dogma" of physical laws correct?
