@KLUSTERIZER Okay, I'm really sick of you people coming on here and saying "I learned this early in my high school years." Let me expose you to something called AP courses. They are college level courses taught at high school your senior (12th grade) year. I'm sure everyone that has ever applied to MIT took AP courses in Calculus and Physics, where by you learn the stuff you are seeing in the video, minus a few topics not covered because they aren't covered on the AP exam.
@jshowa6 I took all AP courses starting my sophomore year in high school. You're not "exposing" me to anything. I learned this thing in particular in my freshman year honors physics class. Teacher did the same exact presentation.
Well, is nice but..... What would happen is the string is not fully stretched when he lets go the iron ball in front of him? , would be the same result? then you have to take in account the material of which the string is made of? that is when physics get interesting... “real world physics, where physics does not always works… as you thought it would”
The second time he explains the swinging movement the ball loses energy to swing due to gravity pulling the ball down, but at the first time the ball somehow gains energy to move further than it's starting point?? I suppose the video is incomplete and he gave the ball an additional push or what?
@tolli111 Erm, the ball doesn't lose energy due to gravity, it loses energy due to the friction between its surface and air, and (far lesser) due to the elastic deformation of the thread which anchors it to the roof. If the pendulum were in a perfect vacuum and held by a perfectly non-elastic thread, it would keep swinging until the Sun blows up.
And yeah, what Joshua said: the first time he pushed the ball.
I had a professor (look up David Willey on YT) who did demonstrations like that. Didn't learn a thing. He tried to make physics all "fun" and in doing so eschewed all of the higher-level mathematics so that despite being "calculus-based" the class was no harder than a non-AP high school physics class.
Those that are truly interested in physics do not need their professors to make it "fun" and will in fact be more interested if they don't.
@CosmicKitten89 I suppose THAT is the difference between Walter Lewin and your professor. I had Professor Lewin. Physics was my bane until his class. The fun part was extra. He's a flat out good teacher - and a darned incredible human being on top of everything else. Believe me, a calculus-based physics class at MIT requires that you know calculus. I also had A.P. French...wow i think i was pretty lucky...
@tirres Which is why I have to teach myself. Problem is I can't pay attention to lectures (believe me, I would often get the highest or second highest grade in the class on the tests without listening or taking notes) and the lectures make me tired, so tired that I cannot read the textbook (I am actually fluent in textbook lexicon, unlike most students) concentrate on the homework, and so I get a bad grade on the homework if it's graded or have gaps in my knowledge on the test if it's not.
@tirres Also, if you don't mind me ranting, THAT'S NOT FAIR!!! WHAT DO THEY THINK WE ARE ALL DUMB BECAUSE WE DIDN'T MAKE IT INTO MIT (WHICH I WOULD HAVE NOT ONLY GONE TO BUT GRADUATED BY NOW BTW IF IT WEREN'T FOR MY EVIL FOSTER PARENT BUT I DON'T WANT TO GET INTO THAT) SO THEY JUST DON'T BOTHER TO TEACH US???!!! NO WONDER JOHNSTOWN'S INFRASTRUCTURE IS CRUMBLING AND FLOODING ALL THE TIME! IF YOU ASK ME IT'S THE SUPERIOR DUNCES THAT NEED SUPERIOR TEACHING!
@tirres Also, teaching classical mechanics by throwing pendula around and shooting and dropping objects at the same time is like teaching quantum mechanics by having the students watch a snowy TV
"WATCH ALL THE LITTLE ELECTRONS HIT THE SCREEN! BEHOLD! THE THERMIONIC EFFECT!"
I HATE MIT, you gotta be a real smart guy AND have the money to be able to have a slim chance to enroll. Education should be free, it shouldn't be based on money or intellectual ability, it should be available to anyone willing to put in the effort. When education stops being about money and becomes something available to anyone willing to learn human civilization will progress.
@datxcod If you were truely smart enough you would get a scholarship. Education is free, but the highly skilled jobs that require higher education can't be given to the average joe.
@ff7masta you got me wrong, most people who work at MIT don't go to NASA or something like that. Most end up working at companies, I even know of people who don't have a good job. I'm complaining about the whole "you gotta have a lot of money to study here" let's face it there are more people who pay for education than those who get there through a scholarship
@ff7masta Sure, a meritocracy. But whats the yardstick? For some, sure, its simple. High merit displayed early and consistently. And they do go on to make what academic fields consider great discoveries.
But there is a whole range of far more important discoveries that were made not by professional academics, but by entrepreneurs, statesmen, amateurs, inventors and the self taught.
It only makes sense to give them the best education available too, if they want it.
@irR4tiOn4L You're saying that naturally brilliant people deserve the best education for free if they want it. You know what? These naturally brilliant people should prove they are brilliant. If they are so smart, they would have good grades as proof. If they didn't go to school, where is an example of their brilliance? Where is an example of some invention of theirs that was totally revolutionary?
Important discoveries aren't made by the uneducated.
@ff7masta Actually my friend's sister goes to harvard and she says alot of the kids there are dumb and they got in with daddy's money! George w bush went to Yale and where did that get him? its sad that some pitiful people define themselves by what diploma/degree they have. its unfortunate really! the greatest philosophers are being studied! and none of these philosophers went to 'MIT", it really is true that people will be arrogant about anything, pride will lead to ur demise.
2) George W Bush became the president of the USA for two terms.
3) No one cares about your degree when your doing research, because everyone has Ph.Ds. What matters is the research, and your reputation.
4) Philosopher is a fancy word for unemployed. Absolutely useless profession taken by elitist hipsters. It hasn't been necessary since the scientific method was created.
@ff7masta All your "tips" were weak and lame. You lack structure.
The bottom line is A HUMAN DOESNT NEED AN OBJECT TO VALIDATE THEIR WORTH! Im not talking about these low budget "hipsters" Im talking about ancient philosophers! the people who came before us! even some people now have GREAT WISDOM and credibility. What my point was flew over your cuckoo nest.
You can swim all day in the sea of knowledge and still come out dry.
@markee871 Ancient philosophers are equivalent to modern day scientists. Both seek knowledge. A degree proves you have gone through higher education and how well.
Modern day philosophers have zero job prospects, contribute nothing to society, and are not legendary thinkers. When is the last time a philosopher accomplished anything?
@tankeriv the small amount of friction supplied by the string's attachment to the ceiling would eventually bring it to a halt, but very very very slowly.
DR. WALTER LEWIN(Physics) AND DR. SADOWAY(Materials Chemistry/Solid State Chemistry Professor) are the best in the world! let alone MIT, they are just amazing!
This "superstar" is A JEW and supports Jewish infiltration into USA Sciences and Universities. He is also quite fond of Israel and their stupid Culture
Jews are smart and cunning but lack everything else
@cherrybawls Jews especially today have murdered thousands of Palestinians Eastern Europeans controlled Western media and politics with many whom while armchair politicians have publically time and time again demanded US support They exist and function as a seperate society that controls from within and they usually generally use their academic stances to hijack sympathy for their Murderous causes of Pro-Israel
As for America only Americans should teach in USA Unis
@cherrybawls This person pushes Jewish culture and interests in MIT read into it and is widely placed in their publications. Now the only reason why Jews are so heavily entrenched in USA would be?...
Now when i get bored of studying too much at a stress i watch his lecture videos.I'm in grade 11 and i don't have to put in the slightest efforts to understand what he teaches.It's like listening to a pleasant music.
What A Professor...........And I Bet Those students who are sitting in front of him never ever forget the theories and phenomenas of physics because He Practically explained these theories to them
It would be a blast going to classes with an amazing professor like this, instead of having a professor that'd terrorize me into learning (which really isn't learning) just to memorize in the head and not really understand what I'm studying.
@thearchiveable I'm not sure if he's dutch :p It's a germanic language, that's almost certain, but I doubt it's dutch(I'm dutch, and he doesn't sound like any of my classmates ^^)
I doubt it. American "universities" are just another Disneyland. With Disneyland professors like this miserable clown (physics with a plush ape!), and with Disneyland "diplomas". And then you don't know Budapest is the capital of Hungary ("Hungry? I knew Turkey, but Hungry?"), and you can't even find the USA on a world map.
@zensorship yes and they building rockets, send them in to space... dont forget that not all USA population goes to MIT, and nice piece of it are not americans.
@zensorship Wernher von Braun invented the V2 rockets. The Russians claimed the still intact V2's and their plans after the 2nd WW. That was the start of the Cold War, a war between the USA and Russia (back in the time, it was the USSR). America didn't get use the V2 rocket's technology, but they were the first to get a human into space. Russia was first at getting a spacecraft into space though.
"As long as I'm healthy, physically and mentally, I will teach until i die in the classroom." Wow, talk about passion for teaching. That was actually quite touching.
I wish I can stay that committed to my craft when I'm his age. Wish everybody can.
@oabrahamsson Agreed! youre suppossed to wake up and love your job not wake up and dread going to work! alot of people are caught in that cycle, a job theyre not happy with. They sit in their cubicle miserbale, which is sad. Ive seen stories of people leaving careers in law or forensics to be bakers and own their own business from home selling their crafts..
I wonder what external forces could have changed the results...like if an earthquake were to happen at that exact moment. Or if a nearby butterfly farted.
I think we all agree he is a wonderful professor. However, I read a lot of comments criticizing professors, and I wonder to myself if you are so passionate about improving the quality of teaching in our country, do something about it. Get away from the computer and pursue teaching. You will have a greater appreciation for Dr. Lewin but also others who try very hard but do not quite have his gift for making lessons come alive.
There is a university in the United Kingdom called the University of Dundee. It's in Scotland. I would very strongly urge Chinese students who're thinking of coming to the UK to undertake undergrad or postgraduate studies to NOT enrol at the University of Dundee. Many Chinese students at this university have been racially abused (either verbally, and in some cases physically.) Some lecturers at this university are very racist towards Chinese students and the city of Dundee is also VERY racist
"Physics works, and I'm still alive; see you Wednesday." The way any good physics lecture (or any other lecture for that matter) should conclude. Kudos to what appears to be a great instructor teaching through one of the greatest mediums this world has ever seen (the recorded lectures from MIT).
And this is the biggest problem with todays school, or I should say ONE OF. Yes, there's alot of idiot students who're being assholes in class etc, but even if there's alot of students who want to learn - There's so many teachers who forgot HOW TO TEACH. If you make the whole learning-process a whole lot more FUN, students will _want_ to learn more. This teacher has no problem making himself "Look like a clown" - For the greater good? I'm sure no one cuts his class atleast.
i agree with most, and i repear , most of the concepts you've said
but you see aztaclalz , its absolutely not like that teacher has no problems looking like a clown in front of everyone for greater good, reality is that through his way of behaving like what you have called a clown , he makes us understand the lecture better and understand way better how much of a genius he is rather than a clown. i ve never been so entertained during a lesson. this teacher is a genius indeed...
@UrSadMate Well, acting like a clown is not necessarily a bad thing. I'd also like to remember I put quote-signs to clarify I wasn't being too serious about it. I'm pretty sure you know what I meant, thus there wasn't really a reason to try and correct me. This man is a genious, and if you have to make yourself "Look silly"[or as mentioned before, like a clown] -So be it, as long as you reach the students, which Professor Lewin did.
i agree - there is a strong need to differentiate science from religion. Science on the whole is empirical, even many scientific theories need to be taken with a similar attitude as theory is very different from practice.
@Etimespace omg, that post nearly made me cry, the way you can so forcefully declare that nonsense without any care for the nature of reality.
I was pretty sure you were being satirical before I saw how much effort you put into your channel.
Please please please don't spread that nonsense around the Internet. It's hard enough for someone to get a good science education on here without people like you.
I wish I was half as smart as this man. I mean, it's not fair that he can grasp all this, and I can't even do half of it... Way to go all the professors at MIT
Hey, can someone tell me where can i get all his lectures? Not all of course, but at least the latest. one. I only found his lectures in 1999. That's so old
This man saved my life . I found it so difficult to understand physics in high school that i was going to give it up but his lectures made me give it another try. He is more than a teacher he is a performer.
@BYMYSYD You know, MIT is ranked as one of the "best value" colleges nationwide--they'll cover your financial need. Brings the sticker price WAY down. Harvard doesn't require any student whose famiy makes less than $60k per year to pay ANYTHING, and all of Princeton's fin. aid is grant-based. I'm not made of money, but I'm still trying for all three :)
I'm a highschool student who's taken all the math and physics classes available at my highschool and sometimes i have trouble understanding his lectures but most of the time i can follow, and i have to say i really really like them i wish my physics teacher was like this guy. Because i hold a great passion for the subject.
I spent my last year studying in Cambridge - MA as an exchange student.
And I never thought I would be teaching myself physics. I didn't really like it in Highschool probably because I found it hard to understand - part because of my boring or too strict, old-fashioned ex-teachers and part because of my lack of interest in that specific area. However, when I see how passionate this man is about what he does, I just feel like going to college and studying physics!
wish my Physics teacher was this cool... our physics prof is a bit boring. I know he tries but this man Walter Lewis is great, id love to have him visit some day and give my school a lecture.

It would be a blast going to classes with an amazing professor like this, instead of having a professor that'd terrorize me into learning (which really isn't learning) just to memorize in the head and not really understand what I'm studying.

I doubt it. American "universities" are just another Disneyland. With Disneyland professors like this miserable clown (physics with a plush ape!), and with Disneyland "diplomas". And then you don't know Budapest is the capital of Hungary ("Hungry? I knew Turkey, but Hungry?"), and you can't even find the USA on a world map.
American intellectual quality? Hahaha.

Thats true but NASA belongs to USA, and Wernher von Braun worked for them. Like I said great part of USA population came from other countries.
shimajda 1 year ago
@zensorship Wernher von Braun invented the V2 rockets. The Russians claimed the still intact V2's and their plans after the 2nd WW. That was the start of the Cold War, a war between the USA and Russia (back in the time, it was the USSR). America didn't get use the V2 rocket's technology, but they were the first to get a human into space. Russia was first at getting a spacecraft into space though.

They sit in their cubicle miserbale, which is sad. Ive seen stories of people leaving careers in law or forensics to be bakers and own their own business from home selling their crafts..

I think we all agree he is a wonderful professor. However, I read a lot of comments criticizing professors, and I wonder to myself if you are so passionate about improving the quality of teaching in our country, do something about it. Get away from the computer and pursue teaching. You will have a greater appreciation for Dr. Lewin but also others who try very hard but do not quite have his gift for making lessons come alive.

There is a university in the United Kingdom called the University of Dundee. It's in Scotland. I would very strongly urge Chinese students who're thinking of coming to the UK to undertake undergrad or postgraduate studies to NOT enrol at the University of Dundee. Many Chinese students at this university have been racially abused (either verbally, and in some cases physically.) Some lecturers at this university are very racist towards Chinese students and the city of Dundee is also VERY racist

"Physics works, and I'm still alive; see you Wednesday." The way any good physics lecture (or any other lecture for that matter) should conclude. Kudos to what appears to be a great instructor teaching through one of the greatest mediums this world has ever seen (the recorded lectures from MIT).
ponyryan 1 year ago
And this is the biggest problem with todays school, or I should say ONE OF. Yes, there's alot of idiot students who're being assholes in class etc, but even if there's alot of students who want to learn - There's so many teachers who forgot HOW TO TEACH. If you make the whole learning-process a whole lot more FUN, students will _want_ to learn more. This teacher has no problem making himself "Look like a clown" - For the greater good? I'm sure no one cuts his class atleast.

@aztaclalz
i agree with most, and i repear , most of the concepts you've said
but you see aztaclalz , its absolutely not like that teacher has no problems looking like a clown in front of everyone for greater good, reality is that through his way of behaving like what you have called a clown , he makes us understand the lecture better and understand way better how much of a genius he is rather than a clown. i ve never been so entertained during a lesson. this teacher is a genius indeed...

@UrSadMate Well, acting like a clown is not necessarily a bad thing. I'd also like to remember I put quote-signs to clarify I wasn't being too serious about it. I'm pretty sure you know what I meant, thus there wasn't really a reason to try and correct me. This man is a genious, and if you have to make yourself "Look silly"[or as mentioned before, like a clown] -So be it, as long as you reach the students, which Professor Lewin did.

1. Scientific experiments
The argument about the expanding space is an empty argument! There is no way
to make scientific experiments with a space. The argument about expanding
space is not science. It is a religion!
The thing that particules radiate their energy is not an empty claim.
Particules can be examined and make scientifical experiment with them and
this way proof this claim to be true.
Etimespace 2 years ago
i agree - there is a strong need to differentiate science from religion. Science on the whole is empirical, even many scientific theories need to be taken with a similar attitude as theory is very different from practice.

2. Let´s take long chutes from different materials into the space and place
telescopes to them to observe some known place of a star. If the energy that
comes to the chutes makes the photons moving in the chute to bend towards
the chute, we can this way observe that this star concerned seems to be in a
different place than it is known to be!
Etimespace 2 years ago
3. The sun does not curve the space. The energy coming towards the sun makes
photons passing by the sun to bend towards the sun, because the hot / thick,
small and little exterior surface possessing particules do not interact with
the photons passing by the sun!
Etimespace 2 years ago
4. Even Einstein once told us that the massive the object is, the slower the
time is.
In relation to the size of a star there is much more energy / substance in
the stars than in the photons. The substance / energy is denser in the stars
than what it is in the photons. The time of the stars is so slower than the
time of the photons!
Etimespace 2 years ago
5.This way the time of the old photons is faster than the time of the new
photons and the photons radiating from the stars do not tranfer their
kinetic energy to the photons passing by the star as much as the photons
coming towards the star do. This way the light bends at the same time it
passes the star without supposedly the star would bend the space!

@Etimespace omg, that post nearly made me cry, the way you can so forcefully declare that nonsense without any care for the nature of reality.
I was pretty sure you were being satirical before I saw how much effort you put into your channel.
Please please please don't spread that nonsense around the Internet. It's hard enough for someone to get a good science education on here without people like you.

@BYMYSYD You know, MIT is ranked as one of the "best value" colleges nationwide--they'll cover your financial need. Brings the sticker price WAY down. Harvard doesn't require any student whose famiy makes less than $60k per year to pay ANYTHING, and all of Princeton's fin. aid is grant-based. I'm not made of money, but I'm still trying for all three :)

Because i hold a great passion for the subject.

I spent my last year studying in Cambridge - MA as an exchange student.
And I never thought I would be teaching myself physics. I didn't really like it in Highschool probably because I found it hard to understand - part because of my boring or too strict, old-fashioned ex-teachers and part because of my lack of interest in that specific area. However, when I see how passionate this man is about what he does, I just feel like going to college and studying physics!
The man is a legend.
