Physics Off Center

Physics is a successful discipline, using mathematics and empirical observation to describe change. Macroscopic bodies change position, and we have Classical Mechanics, for microscopic  ones we have Quantum Mechanics, slow motions lead to Non-relativistic Mechanics, fast ones to Relativistic. By studying  the simplest situations, mathematical abstraction rules. Everybody must study Physics to get a professional degree in mathematical and physical sciences.

This does not always happens.

There are countless professionals that should know better, and sometimes lack basic knowledge in this area of human knowledge.

I write here about Physics outside the cosmopolitan centers of the modern world.

If one goes to Acapulco one is not thinking in the scientific culture of the bar tender. As long as they are courteous, and friendly one is OK. Should the State of Guerrero have a Physics Department?

Yes.

How do I make it happen?

Don't Know.
