[QUOTE="Magnetoman, post: 130927, member: 2806"] I sneaked some physics into the Guggenheim exhibition (e.g. in the form of content for the wall captions, such as "Special Theory of Relativity" for the one below). At one point I asked my Dean if he thought the average visitor got roughly the same amount of physics from a tour of the exhibition as they would have learned in just a single one-hour lecture in an average physics class. He readily agreed. However, well before I finished the next step, explaining that the total attendance of over 2M meant that was the equivalent of me having taught a 500-person lecture class every semester for the rest of my career he interjected that, no, he wouldn't excuse me from teaching. [ATTACH type="full"]38782[/ATTACH] Despite my ploy not having worked, it illustrates the power of "alternative education" experiences, including the Brisbane exhibition, that can impart scientific knowledge to large numbers of people without them being consciously aware that they're being educated.
