When Joan of Arc, a young woman of 20 years old, was burnt, her flimsy smock caught the flames and flared up leaving her naked, whereupon the hangman of Rouen doused down the flames so that onlookers could better see “all the secrets which can or should be in a woman”.

The Wisdom of Carl

There’s a widely held perception that science is ’too hard’ for ordinary people. We can see this reflected in the statistic that only around 10 per cent of American high school students ever opt for a course in physics. What makes science too hard for Americans? What happened to the American genius for science, technical innovation and hard work? Americans once took enormous pride in their inventors, who pioneered the telegraph, telephone, electric light, phonograph, automobile and airplane. Except for computers, all that seems a thing of the past. Where did all that Yankee ingenuity go?
