analyze every possible permutation, do they become law? What if there are emergent layers of complexity above that? I like what you are implying and I say we take that first small step. I studied both physics and math in college and recently completed my undergraduate degree, but I will pretend I have never seen physics. If you answer my questions I will donate $500 to FQXI in your name. For me to understand physics properly I request: 1) The physics nomenclature and concepts be broken down into simple everyday language and ideas. 2) Mathematics that include a gentle introduction (a thorough understanding of analysis is not required to ?get? the power rule or the chain rule used in calculus). 3) Full derivations whenever possible which show each step worked out in full detail. 4) An example problem with a well explained solution. 5) A problem similar but not entirely identical to the worked example problem. 6) A challenging, but not impossible problem. 7) Well explained solutions to the problems posted after 24 hours. 8) A focus on the 20% of physics that solves 80% of the problems. If someone asks for a simpler explanation try to accommodate them but they should also be encouraged to grow and become self taught physicists. They only need help getting past the initial learning curve. To start: What are the differences between position, velocity and acceleration? What are Cartesian coordinates? What is the difference between a scalar and a vector? Are there any
