The fact is...

the fact is..

physics teachers don't know
how to teach physics.

So they blame the students
for not learning the concepts.

Try using pictures.

No words
no numbers..
just pictures.

flash cards.

You want us to be indoctrinated what the books say and what the books say is the truth of fundamental laws of physics. The trouble is:
1. The books teachings are based on the wrong concepts of nature? For example: the books teach  that gravity is a single attractive force but we know that  a single attractive force cannot  make the moon orbit the earth for billions of years. Gravity is a composite force as explained in the following link: 
http://www.modelmechanics.org/2015gravity.pdf

2. It is dangerous to be boxed in the wrong concept of nature. The followers will not be able to come up wth new concepts and that’s why they failed to come up with new ideas to unite gravity with the other forces of nature.

3. It is dangerous is to listen to a woodworker who claims to be the authority of physics and his knowledge on physics is based only on what he read in the book......no new idea outside of the books.

Ken, science is a work in progress not a series of answers to questions
about phenomena where many essential basics are not clearly defined or
understood. The greatest failure of humans is to assume that because we
have found some answers we actually understand most of nature when all
we have is a working knowledge that has allowed technology to advance in
limited ways.

If you were to start right now to list the questions for which we do not
have clear and definitive (under all circumstances) answers you would be
unable to complete that list in your lifetime, regardless of your
calendar age. To focus, as you have above, on an isolated example, 
results in complete fruitlessness because as is all too often the case
here, the cart is before the horse.

> 3. It is dangerous is to listen to a woodworker who claims to be the authority of physics and his knowledge on physics is based only on what he read in the book......no new idea outside of the books.

Believe it or not, Odd Bodkin's attempts to be relevant are very similar
to yours. Neither of you presents a valid challenge favoring faster or
more efficient human progress.

That might be something you'd like to consider when deciding on new
directions for your efforts, or are you happy arguing uselessly and
relentlessly in Usenet?

Thus far you appear to have failed to describe a solvable problem.

It’s a little further than that.

Absolutely true. Physics is a living realm. However, to say we know next to
nothing is also foolishness.

Exactly, good question. Where could he spend his time more valuably than
arguing here?

I at least read. Does Ken? No. Do you?

  That's a strangely restrictive question that you may
want to reconsider. For individuals with limited
resources, reading is perhaps critical. I do read
although I have a handicap in that realm, macular
degeneration, that imposes limitations. You may
consider yourself free to visit me and read to me
as I am a willing listener.

However, I grew up in a household in which my father
held 2 PhD's and my (actually all his children) had
most valuable learning during ages 0-21 at the dinner
table (he was present every evening.) As a result, my
resources for learning became much more based on
discussions with knowledgeable people and I have
been able to maintain a steady stream of them
throughout my life.

It is a mistake to measure others by the same yardstick
you use to measure your own achievements because the
world is usually much larger with greater possibilities
than most individuals appreciate. I gave one (my) example
above, but there are others.

You read and respond to what I write, so I believe you have ways to work
around the handicap.

And who are the active physicists you continue to have conversations with?

I think you illustrate my point well.

You read, despite handicaps, to learn a subject. And you gain knowledge by
tutelage and discussion from experts. Note that many cranks here take
neither approach, insisting that they’re better off not consulting with
expertise at all as that would contaminate their minds.

By the way, your father’s route of two earned PhDs is unusual and commonly
discouraged, unless the two fields have dramatically different ways of
conducting research, like classical literature and chemistry. I’m curious
about that with him.

My point was that reading is not the only way to learn. Indeed the first
science lesson I learned was at about age 2. I asked my mother why daddy
was coming home so late. She said he was coming home at the same time as
he always had, what was my concern. I said that daddy used to come home
in the daylight, and now it is very dark when he gets home. Longer and
shorter daylight, appropriate to a 2 year old (I know the timeframe
because I was born in December near the winter solstice) was one of my
very early dinnertime lessons. Clearly at age 2 a book was of no use to
me and clearly I learned rather a lot for a 2 year old by other means.

  I'll go so far as to acknowledge that his doctorates are in diverse
fields, but more than that is ammunition for the unscrupulous. But this
brings to the fore something that is bothersome. You didn't get the
above from a physics (or any other) book, so it is clear from your
question and commentary that you have a closer association with academia
than you've been letting on. I don't expect a straight answer because of
the selfsame unscrupulous people I mentioned above.

Multiple doctorates aren't quite as rare as you seem to think. My
physician at the MAYO clinic is an MD and a PhD, again in diverse
although related fields. He is one of the few physicians over my
lifetime that I can really engage in meaningful conversations. He is
someone I look forward to visiting. Fortunately we are not on a 15
minute schedule as is the usual case.

I agree. The other good way is tutelage at the guidance of an expert. At
least, for the sciences. Or, for that matter, woodworking.

I think I’ve always been honest about my mathematics degree and early
career as a mathematician. 

Did you think that I’m just a high school graduate because of my
occupation?

That’s not uncommon. Likewise, I have met a woman with an MD and a JD, who
works in medical ethics. But that’s not two PhDs. A Doctor of Philosophy is
designed to be a broad-based terminal degree.

And the most advanced equation you wrote here was about parabolic motion. 

Liar, deceiver, charlatan.

You have great gobs of time to craft a single message using math symbols in
a medium hostile to them. I’d prefer to get a lot of content out quickly,
because I don’t have as much time to kill as you do.

“We” know no such thing. You are operating from a position of ignorance to
say that a single central force cannot produce a stable orbit. Being
ignorant of simple things is not a reason to deny them.

I claim no such authority. Authority and experience does rest with those
educated in physics, though.

No I am saying that assuming that what the text book say is the true fundamental of the laws of physics is dangerous. For example: Assuming that gravity is a single attractive force is dangerous.  Why? Because a single attractive force cannot make an object go around in circles.

You criticize everybody. This makes you the assumed authority. You refused to discuss any new idea with an opened mind and this also makes you an assumed authority.
> 
> You deny the value of expertise of physicists?

No I deny when they are wrong. For example gravity is not a single attractive force.

You don’t have to assume anything. But you do have to READ the textbook to
understand what it says. Saying that a book is wrong WITHOUT READING IT is
stupid.

No, that’s an incorrect claim. You have simply not learned how simple it is
that a single central force can produce uniform circular motion.

No, I criticize YOU. I criticize others who make strong statements about
physics without having ever read any physics. That’s just being stupid.

There is no point in seriously discussing the new physics idea of someone
who doesn’t even know what the words mean. Don’t you think so?

Ken, for you to deny things you have NEVER STUDIED is stupid.

That’s what you said alright. 

Wouldn’t want to ever read a book that would prove you wrong, would you?

What would be the point? You don’t ever want to discover that you’re wrong
about anything. Makes you gag.

Hey  stupid, No book can prove that a single attractive force is able to make an object go around in circle. You need two opposing  forces to make an object go around in circles.....gravity is not a single attractive force. It is a composite force.
If you are convinced that a single force can make an object go around in circles give us an example.....don’t  just bullshit us and tell us to read some books.
