Dear Mr. President, Do You Know Much About Physics?

Minute Physics – a popular video channel where short animated videos delve into such questions as “why is the night sky dark?” or “what is he difference between past and future?”, released an open video letter addressed to the president regarding the future of high school physics education. In his letter the author calls upon the president consider the fate of physics when choosing a new Education Secretary. The video laments the current state of physics education in that the curriculum concentrates mostly on mechanics, while the new and exciting discoveries that took place in the 20th century and that continue to evolve even today are almost completely ignored.
