| I’m not doin’ the math | I’m not doin’ the math | The highest temperature that scientists have created — and thus measured — is 2 trillion kelvins. That was in the “quark-gluon plasma” created in an experiment at the Large Hadron Collider in Europe. Two streams of lead nuclei traveled toward each other at nearly light-speed. – Astronomy.com |
Algebra and the Average 7th Grader
Junior High math teachers love to present the search for F° / C° equality as a demonstration of how important algebra will be in our future lives. Even as a inchoate* pre-WLBOTT executive, this seemed like a stretch.
But I had some wonderful teachers. One of the greatest acts of compassion I witnessed at school was when my 7th grade math teacher was returning tests. The kid in front of me, a quiet, good guy, got his test face down (not a good sign), looked at the test, and then started to cry. This is a time when guys are desperately trying to figure out what it takes to be a man (often having to rely on goofy and clueless peers rather than their career military fathers), and crying was a major setback. The teacher discretely took him out into the hall and then she talked him down. He did okay.
