I think we are asking for trouble when we teachers try to relate physical
concepts to things people sense and feel--unless we are willing to turn
your courses into physiology courses by carefully examining the
biiological chain of events between the physical stimuli and the response
processed by the brain. Of course the sensory feelings are a first step
for students, and were a first step historically in the development of
physics. But we must go beyond that first step to get to physics.
