BAD PHYSICS: Five Common Errors in Our Grasp of Reality, Mar 24

From Aristotle to Einstein, great minds have failed to grasp basic ideas in physics. Join award-winning physics teacher Tucker Hiatt in exploring five of the juiciest misconceptions that plague our “common-sense” understanding of how the world works:
  • The Earth moves through space.
  • "Now" has universal meaning.
  • Nature loves all energies equally.
  • Mass becomes energy via E=mc^2.
  • God does not play dice.
