Introducing the Website “Obsolete Concepts in Physics”

Abstract

We present a web site where a series of short articles with the generic name “Obsolete Concepts in Physics” (Conceptos Obsoletos en Física) is published weekly. By obsolete concepts we mean such concepts that have lost their scientific value for different reasons, but which are still being in use, and which represent an obstacle or burden in the teaching-learning process. It is our intention to create an academic forum to discuss these concepts and to encourage teachers and students to search for such concepts on their own.
