You know what PHYSICS education needs more of? Indigenous pseudoscience. This new paper wants to integrate "Indigenous Knowledge Systems" into physics classrooms to "advance epistemic justice." You see, physics is frequently characterized as "culturally neutral" and "universally valid" despite being "grounded in Western epistemology," and this cultural bias "marginalises Indigenous ways of knowing." We need a "pluriversal engagement framework that operationalizes Indigenous Knowledge Systems integration...to teach thermodynamics [and] community-based astronomy initiatives linking Indigenous cosmologies with physics concepts." By "embedding Indigenous knowledge within physics curricula in universities of technology and similar Global South contexts," we can finally get to back to what physics education is supposed to be all about: "advancing epistemic inclusion." Just think of what @SpaceX could achieve if @elonmusk integrated Indigenous Knowledge Systems into rocket design. They would be truly unstoppable!
