This was a hellishly busy week, and today was especially bad. I barely had time to read non-work-related email, let alone write anything for the blog. And now that I have time, I'm too fried to write anything.

Would it be possible to teach kids QM and SR first, and then introduce the classical limit? As it is, we keep teaching kids stuff, and then telling them it's wrong. And secondly, we only start on the difficult stuff when their brains are full myelinated and it's harder and harder to learn new stuff.
