The "Bad" Language of Physics

by S.C. Kavassalis in The Language of Bad Physics

One of the things I sometimes find myself writing about is the “bad” language used by physicists. Sometimes we say Riemannian when we really should say psuedo-Riemannian, sometimes we call something a metric when it really is a line element – the kind of nitpicky pet-peeves that practically everyone has about literature in their field. Today, I’m going to be talking about the bad language in physics in a totally different context however.... Read more »

The Language of Science – it’s “just a theory”

Anyone who has seriously studied an empirical or mathematical science knows there is something very special about how those studies affect the way we view the world. There is something very profound feeling in the way our minds works after we’ve been exposed to logical and testable systems, and it enters into almost [...]... Read more »
