For the sake of some

Some once explained to me what a PhD is.
(I won’t say who it was because he is not a nice person)
He said there is a knowledge base.
We shall not argue over the shape of the knowledge base
It can be a cube a pyramid or a spiral for all I care.
In the post modern scenario it becomes complicated for the future doctor
The idea of a PhD is to understand the assimilated base
And take it a notch higher
What I feel is that even though there is a knowledge base
Why don’t we ever see it
The question of macro and micro communication is the key
They must exist parallel in a framework
Because if we cannot explain something beautifully to a child
What can we do?
And children only learn through interest
Otherwise there is always the hard way

is definitely better than

universe exists
7 planets in the solar system
More to be found
And earth in universe (planet)
To locate India on earth
20* NW Latitude
40* Longitude
moving to java
LOGO RD 20*
LD 80*
Digital
0110011101010001
Matrix

These gaps exist in schools and texts.
Maybe a museum would address them as a learning scenario
