A Pedagogical Quandary
Let’s see. Would my presentation be more improved by:
- A thorough understanding the material to be covered (mantle convection and the thermal evolution of terrestrial planets) and clear exposition of the salient points of recent scientific history; or…
- …pictures of Donald Turcotte’s head crudely photoshopped on to the body of a fighting nun puppet!
If my luck holds, these won’t be mutually exclusive.
Also, will someone please check this out and tell me if it’s really clever, or just derivative religious rhetoric parody the likes of which has been done to death? My critical faculties are shot all to hell:
The Purest Crystal of them all is The Lord Kelvin himself! The Lord Kelvin is without Entropy. Furthermore, since Absolute Zero is unattainable via a finite series of processes, it follows that the Lord Kelvin is Infinite! This implies that His powers are also Infinite, meaning that the Lord Kelvin can transcend His own Law The Second and Conserve you from Entropy!
