I should teach the world that science is an adventure of the imagination - creative new ideas explored in theory and then checked against experience. There are many examples of this - the Earth is round; Isaac Newton's laws of motion; planets moving under gravity; light is like a wave; alpha particle scattering; electron orbitals in the atom; nuclear reactors, and the synthesis of plutonium; radio waves; the transistor; this lovely computer; and, last but not least, the internet, which I am using to submit this survey response.
