I agree. It's pretty strange, if you think about it.

I see. I was probably over-reacting a little in my statement. What I said remains true to an extent, though. I think all schools in general should pay a lot more attention to modern physical theories/concepts along with SR and GR, both for undergraduates and graduates. I'm a beginner astronomy-physics major myself, and apparently I'll be studying a rather considerable amount of physics courses in later years. I hope the majority of them will be on modern physics.
