Re: How many people do you think are unaware of basic physics/chemistr
[ QUOTE ]
amongst major world leaders, i'd expect the answer to be somewhere north of 98% and that's just "general concepts of physics and or chemistry," not stretching to theory of relativity or anything. [/ QUOTE ] hmmm....who could be in that 2%? hmmm...  nevermind, i figured it out.

[ QUOTE ] Knowing how to find out information you need is all that matters. If you don't use physics on a daily basis, knowing it is just a hobby, and you get to choose your hobbies. [/ QUOTE ] I agree. On a similiar topic to the OP, in one of my classes today we learned about a small town in Tenesse that was kind of closed off from the rest of the world. Before the introduction of technology and communication, the average IQ was 83. That is borderline retarded. Now that is sad, but also very funy. [/ QUOTE ] There is a joke here somewhere.

Easily 95% of people don't understand relativity. Also, nobody understands quantum mechanics [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] [/ QUOTE ] vnh. Take comfort in the fact that there is indeed someone here nerdy enough to get your post. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Re: How many people do you think are unaware of basic physics/chemistr
Back in college, I had a chemistry lab where we dissolved magnesium in hydrochloric acid:
Mg +HCl ---> MgCl2 + H2. I was asked what happened to the magnesium. I said it went to live with Baby Jesus.

I think i'd be willing to say that 15% of the population understands newtons laws. [/ QUOTE ] I doubt 15% of the population could even name them all.

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