How many people do you think are unaware of basic physics/chemistry?

I'd say pretty much everyone who didn't take these classes beyond a high school level. And I think most non-science majors don't have to take any of these classes in college. So in short, pretty much everyone [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

But concerning the existence of atoms? Come on, this is middle school science. I think most americans could tell you what an atom is. Hell, i bet you could grab most bums (when sober) ask them what an atom is and they would tell you "its that really small [censored] that everything is made of."

True. The kind of people who wouldn't know what an atom is, at least in America, would probably be limited to the kind of people who think Europe is a country, or don't know if Mexico is more or less north of the equator than the U.S. is.

I never took classes beyond high school, and I'm pretty familiar with physics.
