[QUOTE="Janx, post: 6043671, member: 8835"] Bear in mind, when it comes to physics, there's been some discovery that many students, who do great at the math, don't actually understand it, and fail the question on if you drop a 1 pound and 2 pound ball at the same time, which one hits the ground first question. They just weren't getting it, and merely parrot or calculate their way through the material, without really grasping it. NPR had an article with a physics prof from standford or one of those big schools where he talked about the problem. One of the things he realized was that the way a 20 year physics veteran explains a concept he has undertstood forever to a student is not the same as how a fellow student who just "figured it out" will do so. So, he changed up his teaching to present a concept, have the students work out a problem, and then have the students talk and self-correct as the kids who figured it out correctly transmit way of thinking to the rest of the students. In any case, I'm still wary that a video of a lecture shows the whole picture on interaction with a professor or even fellow students. Of course I don't. I was being hyperbolically exagetative like I said I was. There are always scientists who stick to their theory, and belittle other theories. Archaeology has the same problem, when some scientist has proof that the presuumed chain of evolution happened differently due to his new fossil. But, the sciences as a whole, tend to produce people who do tend to change their mind. As opposed to people who think the world is only 6000 years old. Those people will die holding that belief their entire lives. Since humans as a general rule, tend to NOT be able to change their beliefs, scientists are downright openminded as a subset of the human demographic. You can also probably test this by reviewing the public record on each scientist and see if they later change their position on something the rest of the science community disproved. I suspect, you will find that most scientists do shift their position as new information is discovered, though they may cling to certain areas more tenaciously than others. [/QUOTE]
