Einstein freed us from the need to observe two kinds of
forces which act on inertial masses. Why has it taken so long
to convince physicists that he has done so? We don't live in
an inertial frame of reference, and students instinctively
know how to cope with that. Why do we insist on complicating
their lives by telling them that some things they perceive
with their senses are real, and some are fictitious, but only
an ordained member of the faculty can tell them which is
which?
