Harry Potter Canon Question
So I was watching this show on the history channel about the tracking of Tsunamis. The scientists talked about plate tectonics, rock layers, new tracking devices etc.
It just got me thinking about how when we go to school we learn about actual science and history and math and literature... And we also touch upon other cultures within these topics sometimes (hopefully).
But what about Hogwarts/Magic students? They learn the subjects that we read about in the HP books; the topics that are relevant to their world and their discoveries etc...
But what about plain science, math, history, literature? I guess the important muggle discoveries that have clearly uncovered important perspectives and developments. Do they not learn about the Renaissance, or the world wars? Or what about the Pythagorean Theorum? Or what about climate change, the environment, or how the body works?
I guess magic tends to defy certain things like physics maybe, but what about all the other things that are human history, or that affect the earth that both muggle and magical live on? And going back to physics, what about the solar system though? That's a constant development that affects muggle and magical I would think.
