Dammit, trending small majority not heard of it
Wanted to use it as a metaphor for a piece. Didn’t realize it was that obscure.
I think I learned it in 8th grade by which time I think STEM kids were already on a separate track. For the curious ones: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partial_pressure …

I keep forgetting how early STEM forks off from mainstream. In my high school, there were 4 tracks: CS and biology on STEM side (targeting engineering and medicine for college) and commerce and arts for humanities/social science side. I think ~40% was STEM and that was high.

There’s a bunch of “charismatic megascience” stuff that non-STEM people hear about like theory of relativity and e=mc^2 but the 90% of mundane shit STEMmies pick up over 8 years of high school and undergrad is basically alien territory for 2/3 of the population.

You needed an option: "I must have learned about that at some point, but it's been so long that I've forgotten it".

Huh weird that majority has not heard of it. What do Americans learn in high school?
