Natural Science Forum / Physics / Relativity / December 2005Criminal Science Education in the Era of Postscientism
In 2001 Jos Uffink published a paper exposing the appalling obscurity inherent in fundamental scientific concepts: http://philsci-archive.pitt.edu/archive/00000313/ Since educators would not call Uffink's paper "crank science" (their usual reaction in analogous cases: http://www.iop.org/EJ/abstract/0143-0807/26/6/S09/ ), and since the obscurity in question is taught to freshmen, and since science education is just dying, one would expect Uffink's paper to be followed by a series of science education congresses with revolutionary consequences. Needless to say, no revolution took place. Rather, Uffink's paper convinced criminal educators that their strategy is the best one.
