About HyperPhysics

Rationale for Development

HyperPhysics is an exploration environment for concepts in physics which employs concept maps and other linking strategies to facilitate smooth navigation. For the most part, it is laid out in small segments or "cards", true to its original development in HyperCard. The entire environment is interconnected with thousands of links, reminiscent of a neural network.

"It is totally unnecessary."   "For 25 plus years I have advocated against spanking. What does spanking accomplish? It introduces the child to fear, to trauma, and often to rage. It turns some children into fearful conformists, and others into rebels because of their hatred of the parent who used violence on them.  Spanking is often a euphemism for something much worse.

It is evidence of lack of patience, kindness, gentleness, self control, forbearance, and wisdom. It is a massive betrayal.  Here are two things that need to be stated. Child abuse is a little known contributing factor to violence against women. The male child who is beaten, slapped, spanked, yelled at, teased, or verbally...
