I would like to point out that this article misuses the phrase "liberal arts."  Liberal Arts are those pursuits which are not applied.  For example, Physics, English, and Mathematics are all liberal arts.  What this article is trying to say, is that any good geek should be able to explain relativity to, for example, a humanities major.  Subjects in the humanities include english, philosophy, religion, and history.

As a liberal arts major(mathematics) i am proud to note that understanding of general and special relativity is an important part of my curriculum.

Sincerely,

A Pretentious SOB
