To keep pace with the changing times, physics departments should offer courses and major curricula in interdisciplinary fields as well as encourage more applied research.
Acoustics of Greek theatres
Physics Today 26 (10), 30–35 (1973);
https://doi.org/10.1063/1.3128277
Apparently it is the detailed geometry of the seating area that gives the best classical Greek theatres their excellent acoustical qualities for speech and solo performances.
Extragalactic Radio Sources
Physics Today 26 (10), 38–47 (1973);
https://doi.org/10.1063/1.3128278
New data from radio telescope arrays are inspiring debate about the physics of galaxies and quasars, the nature of the red shift and perhaps fundamental physics itself.
