ABSTRACT

Educational systems have a critical function in seeing to it that the curriculum covers the basics of the natural continuum, its time spans and spaces, temperature range, velocities, energy and matter exchanges. Beliefs ancient and modern incompatible with those basics became entrenched before much was known of the extremes of natural history from atoms to galaxies. Empiricism and observation in Copernicus, Tycho Brahe, Kepler, Galileo, Bacon, and the Royal Society started science and philosophy on the road to a much fuller account of it, but the extremes of the scalar spectrum continue to trouble both our understanding of the natural continuum and our means of representing it and teaching it.
