This is my last post at Scienceblogs.com. In the future I will be blogging at Greg Laden's blog, located at its original home at gregladen.com. I have a feeling that Scienceblogs will not last long without me. What do you think? :) But seriously, I'll be talking about the story of the current…

Centripetal vs. Centrifugal force, & the Solar System
One of the worst teaching tools physicists use (and they almost all do it) is to tell students, There's no such thing as centrifugal force. What can you do when the top physics education website says, "It is important to note that the centrifugal force does not actually exist. We feel it, because we are in a non-inertial coordinate system." There's a very funny comic over at xkcd that goes as…
Very Large Tourism
