Filed under Physics Videos

Lecture 1 of Leonard Susskind’s Modern Physics concentrating on General Relativity. Recorded September 22, 2008 at Stanford University. This Stanford Continuing Studies course is the fourth of a six-quarter sequence of classes exploring the essential theoretical foundations of modern physics. The topics covered in this course focus on classical mechanics. Leonard Susskind is the Felix Bloch Professor of Physics at Stanford University.

    @bondurango ” In using Newtonian gravity, Einstein falsifies a falsification with a falsehood & ends up replacing a mosquito with a tic” what law did you get that? do you have scientific proof about the mosquito and the tic? please share the knowledge. >>>>> “Whoever undertakes to set himself up as a judge of Truth and Knowledge is shipwrecked by the laughter of the gods.” -Albert Einstein …”

    iin the middle of this discussion one student ask question, about the uniform acceleration of the object. I thought the professor will say “if i will throw this eraser to you it will not return back to me because of the “grades gravitational force” lmao! joke :D

    when you have a plausible theory of your own then where can you go to with your theory

    @iickle Yea i see your point man. I don’t remember who made this quote, but a wise guy once said “Every man will think himself right, until begrudgingly admitting he is wrong, especially if that man wants to have his picture in a history book”. Such a shame really, science is a falsifiable subject that can change if something about it doesn’t fit our mathematical language. If Bondurango really wants to change the way we view science, he should WORK FOR IT. I think the fool just wants to be right

    @bondurango On the one hand you and some wackjob writer with conspiracy theories,on the other hand 2 of the greatest minds to have ever lived and the entire scientific community (or 99.9%,excluding your buddy with the book)…Hmmm so difficult to choose.

    man, why can’t all university instructors be this good at communicating ideas

    Newton & Einstein were frauds.

    Checkout “The Gravitational Force of the Sun” by Dr. Pari Spolter. Spolter shows how Newton failed to interpret Kepler’s 3rd law (real gravity) & proves that the entire field of non-quantum physics is one of the biggest follies in human history on a par with the Inquisition.

    Also, checkout “What if Einstein was wrong?” an interview with Dr. Spolter on YouTube (by ItsRainMakingTime).

    For a detailed summary, google John Lear’s web page “Challenging Einstein”.

    “Nah that’s actually just a ploy made by ignoramuses”

    Truth is name calling is a ploy & by denying it’s a ploy your using a ploy to disavow a ploy which is a ploy used by the ignorant (who only think they are clever when, obviously, they are not) to cover for their ignorance.

    Disavowing my knowledge is not a validation of your own, but it is proof that you can’t validate anything except your own ignorance.

    @bondurango “Name calling is the last refuge of the ignorant”
    Nah that’s actually just a ploy made by ignoramuses:p
    Further, you don’t know your physics history, nor have you studied relativity if you don’t know about the testing made that supported relativity just a few years after it was developed.
    fail

    @fcdog555

    Name calling is the last refuge of the ignorant.

    Relativity was NEVER based on ANY observation. It’s a mathematical conceit that parasites off the parts of a body of work, e.g. Maxwell’s vectorized (not the original) equations of EM, to gain partial validation while being invalidated by other aspects of the same or similarly observed phenomena.

    In using Newtonian gravity, Einstein falsifies a falsification with a falsehood & ends up replacing a mosquito with a tic.

    @iickle People on here are rightfully arrogant.
    If you are in a class on relativity at Stanford, you better well know how vectors, etc work.
    I knew answers to their questions in high school for feck’s sake lol

    @bondurango Your sir, are a fucking contradictory idiot.
    They were not frauds. Perhaps they were wrong, but that does not make them frauds.
    Further, scientific observations support Einsteinian physics, while disproving Newtonian.
    fail
