I find it cool because they're all white.

Cooperation science. We all do it for the greater good. Many people work on the same subject. They aren't as credited. You also have to consider none of these "geniuses" would pass todays highschool test because 1/4 of the physics and chemistry as we know it wasn't even invented yet.

>> No.5024103

>>5024093
Have you any idea of how easy is an high school chemistry test ? Most of highschool science doesn't go farther than eighteenth century science. And those guys were truly amazing physicists. But your point stands: a discovery is a collective work, and today's best physicists are pretty great themselves.

Not really to be honest, I went to a school that was focused on such and we needed to know quite a lot in the 4th grade. Then again I went to a Math and Natural Sciences Gymnasium.

For example none of these people above knew about Strong and Weak Interaction between atoms.
Basically the whole of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_Model wasn't even invented and all of the materials and technology that go together with it.

Now yes, I guess I should say pass the entrance exam to a good physics or chemistry university?

Probably more like a college graduating test. Sandard model, despite being standard and more than 30 years old, is still pretty advanced stuff. It depends a lot on your field, but you can perfectly take a good course in physics up to college sophomore included without studying relativity except for Maxwell equations. Standard model notions can be mentioned in highschool, but it is very vague and without actual relation. One could assume that a guy like Schrodinger could answer the highschool-like question just by reading the name of the force because that's actually all that it is.

In the honors level chemistry class that I took in high school, sophmore year, we went over the Bohr and Schrodinger atomic models. Learned about orbitals. The people in this photo probably did not know all that much about orbitals at the time it was taken.

Plus, before accurate models of atoms existed, chemistry was memorizing empirical evidence about chemical reactions. With a model, we can finally make predictions. Chemistry is now much easier to learn.

Okay, but you were in an honour class. Do you know if orbitals areconsidered requited knowledge for an average highschool test ? I remember than no teacher in highschool ever bothered to teach us this, because we were basically too lame (but we still had a more than average level at the end of highschool, so there's no reason a teacher would not teach us the basis of orbitals if it were average knowledge). And I give that chemistry is easier to learn, but probably not really easier to understand at first. My point is, the only people I know who had to deal with orbitals in hoghscholl were in privilegied environment (ie elitists highschool with demanding teachers requiring much more than average to their brighter than average students). And I know about a hundred STEM undrergrad, so that's probably saying something.
