(Two of the 1979 Nobel laureates in physics — Steven Weinberg and Sheldon Glashow — were classmates at Bronx Science in the late forties, along with Gerald Feinberg, who is now the chairman of the physics department at Columbia, and during their senior year there the three taught themselves quantum mechanics).
According to the Sioux Falls Argus, this fall the rural town of Bonesteel will teach high school biology, physics and physical science via the Internet, working with other classmates to solve problems created in a series of scenarios and problems.
One pupil, Tom Whitmore, 15, from Brighton, acknowledged that Big Bang Theory had contributed to his decision, with a number of classmates, to consider physics at A-level, and in causing the subject to be regarded as "cool".
The students who were found to have copied the most answers from others started out with the same math and physics skills as their harder-working classmates.
At school, he is taking advanced placement physics and calculus, and although his classmates barely noticed when his high school bowling team won the state championship in 1998, he remained unperturbed.
Germany is also the setting for a chilling chapter in a Nazi eugenics institute for illegitimate boys (who are taught the laws of physics from the suicides of their classmates), and for several chapters in and around the Pfeilen concentration camp, featuring the alliances, rivalries and even passions between Communist and criminal inmates, and the misadventures of two guards, Dohring's forebears.
As one of the two, I won't be surprised if any of my female classmates wins the Nobel Prize in Physics one day.
