Lecture 1 of Leonard Susskind’s Modern Physics course concentrating on Quantum Mechanics. Recorded January 14, 2008 at Stanford University. This Stanford Continuing Studies course is the second of a six-quarter sequence of classes exploring the essential theoretical foundations of modern physics. The topics covered in this course focus on quantum mechanics. Leonard Susskind is the Felix Bloch Professor of Physics at Stanford University.

if everything digitally adds up to nine why am i fixed at zero?

omg
this changes everything , fu guys i’m goin home

@Back2Basixz – If you study YouTube chanels like Kahn Academy and derekownes they won’t be. You are in a tough spot but if you work really hard, like work your fucking ass off learning math and then whatever particular science or thing you are interested in, you will get there. (sorry for the grammer btw)

@syedhasan1964 Damn, eventually all universities will give lectures in the form of DVD discs and video files, so you might be given a stack of DVD’s to watch at home. And best part about having a video is that you can always rewind (go back in time if you forgot what the lecturer said).

@zbosox No, but you don’t get to give them a lot of money in fees.

Jesus this guy starts slowly…do Stanford have their actual quantum mechanics lectures online?
[Reply]
Forced to do it?
Statevectors and Hilbert spaces in QM is half the fun
[Reply]
I wonder what that guy’s question was at around 44:00?
[Reply]
HEY!! think how much quantum physics the cameramen would have learned LOL
[Reply]
@zbosox i’ll give you a defree
[Reply]
@zbosox You knowledge, not just degree
[Reply]
how is this video so damn long and is still able to be posted?? the ive tried to post something a little over 10 mins and it didnt let me!!!

@zbosox banging comment mate well funny

@senorpajarito Clarification: it is the precession (the amount of spinning top-like “wobble”) while Mercury orbits the Sun that could not be confirmed by Newtonian Mechanics.

@PeskyPanda It is true that Kepler took Tycho Brahe’s careful observations and determined the general trajectory of the planets, but he did not give a mechanism by which this occurs. My statement was that Newton developed the tool (Newton’s Law of Universal Gravitation) to determine the mutual force exerted by two massive objects. It did not predict, however, the orbit of Mercury which is understood by using Einstein’s Theory of General Relativity.

@PeskyPanda I see your point, but there are ways to say things, even to insult someone. I myself don’t believe he intended to deliberatly offend someone over there. However, chuckling along with his words really sounded me using a dry sense of humor to convey a biased personal opinion. IMHO, irony is a coward way to act upon someone, without the risk of reaction. I’m a 39 year old PhD student at USP Brazil and can say that his way of seeing things is common place here as well. Too bad!

@kiagguduh I think Dr. Susskind was going by the traditional expectations by which you’d see a undergrad, grad, and so on. Usually undergrads range from 17-24, Grad students anywhere from 23-40 and so on. I don’t believe he meant it as an insult, as you can see he kind of chuckles when he says it. I attended Cal and I never thought I’d be defending a Stanfurd prof…

@senorpajarito I don’t think Newton came up with the way planets move. I believe it was Johannes Kepler that did that.

@zbosox No. Something far greater will happen!

Im not just losing my mind, im losing my chilean pesos.

Thank you Stanford! Great lectures, amazing that you put it online! I’m flabbergasted that education of such quality is available for free!!

@Back2Basixz Your situation is undoubtedly more complex than what you’re described it, but your dream hasn’t been ruined. Remember, most of high school education is the basics of every subject. It’s not going to ruin your dream if you have to repeat a year, just that you’re going to have to graduate a year later than usual. If you don’t lose your dream and keep on with your studies, I’m sure some elite university dean will notice and take you in.

I live near San Fransiso, I attend one of the ghetto high school. I am regarded the most intelligent in my freshman year. Unfortunately, society has held me back and I am to repeat Freshman year with a 1.0 gpa. My chance, goal, and dream has been ultimately ruined. Am I still applicable?

@waypor1 A cheap and useless subject for “professors” to suck up money.
[Reply]
@playsvideogames no, you should be going out and playing ball. Then when you get a bit older, go get some chicks. Then finally at college, can u begin to learn about quantum mechanics!
