Open Letter to the President: Physics Education

This call to arms by minutephysics starts with the shocking revelation that current physics standards don’t require students to learn anything beyond 1865.

1865, folks.

We can do better. Look at all the amazing stuff our students are missing out on! Or else the next Albert Einstein won’t be carrying a U.S. diploma.

Spread this far and wide!
