Filed under Physics Videos
(October 12, 2009) Leonard Susskind gives the first lecture of a three-quarter sequence of courses that will explore the new revolutions in particle physics. In this lecture he explores light, particles and quantum field theory. Leonard Susskind, Felix Bloch Professor of Physics, received a PhD from Cornell University and has taught at Stanford since 1979. He has won both the Pregel Award from the New York Academy of Science and the JJ Sakurai Prize in theoretical particle physics. He is also a member of the National Academy of Sciences.

Physics 10: Physics for Future Presidents. Spring 2006. Professor Richard A. Muller. The most interesting and important topics in physics, stressing conceptual understanding rather than math, with applications to current events. Topics covered may vary and may include energy and conservation, radioactivity, nuclear physics, the Theory of Relativity, lasers, explosions, earthquakes, superconductors, and quantum physics.

If that guy at 1:23ish asks one more question I’m going to jump on the next plane and slap him.

I feel like I am in Stanford

So I skipped along to 1:06:00 and there I see him writing meters/second like M/S and calling h-bar for planck’s constant. He even wrote kilograms like Kg, with a capital K. Is this some kind so sick joke I’m not getting?
I guess you can make up new symbols and stuff, but there are some standards in this world you should follow. Like not calling K for kilo, it should be k! :O

i was born at stanford

@mattias2099
And the meter is the distance traveled by light per 1/299,792,458 second.
I find it funny that no one else finds this funny.

Fuck dat…i’m not going to college anymore, just gonna watch videos on youtube edu

@TirianB I lolled when I read this XD
[Reply]
Love these lectures!
(Speed of light is 299792458 m/s not 299762458 m/s.)

Lol stop hating on abouttobeadad. I see the point he is making, even if its not put very well :p

Well, that wouldn’t be a very conducive learning atmosphere, would it?
[Reply]
I wish people would shut up and go to his office hours for explanation instead of ruining the lecture for everyone.

@TheCrocoduck There is a difference between 1.05 and a number with 34 digits, but when you already write all significant digits down to the very last one, then what is the point of using sientific notation? About being able to ealisy count the number of digits, why do you think there are such thing as thousands separators? Write 299,762,458 and no one will have any trouble with it at all.
[Reply]
@TirianB scientific notation; n00b try writing 1.05×10^-34 in long form
also so we know how many significant digits we’re working with; it saves us the hassle of counting the digits 
[Reply]
shmere…I like this guy
[Reply]
Lol. What is the point of writing 2.99762458×10^8 instead of just 299762458?

That’s amazing – free for download, over an hour and a half high quality lectures from a professor in a renowned university. Thank you Stanford University and YouTube!

Not even if you speak creole, spanish, Russian, chinese, japanese, or any other languedge, people can understand. If they’re taught

I thought that sound was approximate 343 meters/sec, not 3,100 m/s (28:37)

he lost me at about 27 minutes in. He needs to check his notes before presenting.
[Reply]
Wow!!!! thanks Prof Muller for sharing.

‘oct’ has everything to do with ‘eight’ actually… he should know that. other than that I like how he teaches…
[Reply]
3:28 “The fact that I can speak mostly all the time without studdering is..is…is is an amazing aspect of my brain” hahaha

Just pokin’ a bit of fun. This professor is top notch. Thanks for the knowledge.

a passion for your field of study, and a passion for teaching make Mr. Muller an amazing educator.
you can be entertained while you learn, and you can tell he isn’t exaggerating, he really is excited about this stuff, as everyone else in the world should!

talent, human, creative, interesting one of the few gifted teachers and a man I could share a drink with i’m sure thanks
[Reply]
This guy is actually better than my Physics teacher….. a million times better. I would say.
[Reply]
this guy is absolutely great!!
[Reply]
BAM!!!!! PHYSICS!!!!!!!!
[Reply]
you look at the concept not what he’s doing to portray it.
[Reply]
thanks to lecturer and the university, all 26 lectures are very good.
[Reply]
never mind -_-
