Quo Vadis Education?
I will pose a few questions for which I find it difficult to find answers:
- Did you know that negative probabilities exist?? that means something other than 0% chance, 10% or 100% (the latter meaning something happens for sure, it is certain), something like -50% chance, or – 70% chance…
- Did you know that fish do not have passports (!) and as a result have trouble swimming in international waters??
- Did you know that the square root of 100 is 50 (√100 = 50)??
The above is a selection of answers to university exams that I had the privilege to cast and eye on! Would you believe it? Imagine an engineering graduate designing a bridge and calculating a ’safe’ load… with a negative probability? Would you be crossing bridges in the near future? Not really. No wonder that there is consternation by top scientists .
As per the rest I make no comment. I am happy to be a little dog that takes time and EXERTS EFFORT to be educated.
