I wish we had these demonstrations in our TV, as well as feynmann interview and so on. But people here don't care about science as long as they can pay and see their favourite team football match on the beach with the mobile phone. They prefere goose talk and paranormal crap. Sigh.
This is my favorite episode. Used to watch this all of the time in the late 80's. Mr. Asman's class at Northmont. He had an entire library of JSM tapes. A classic staple of physics 101.
Hehe I remember watching the professor as a kid in the 70s in Australia. Kids watched him whether they were interested in science or not because he made it a lot of fun.
I haven't seen it on these programs but he used explain something and then say "Why is it so?". People loved it so much that phrase became a household term.
Man I loved this guy when I was a kid. In fifth grade we couldn't wait for our teacher to let us watch him. The music in the beginning always creeped me out though. Just classic!!
It's a shame this man is dead, he was a pursuer of all things science. Sure he had no idea what he was doing sometimes, and things didn't even work when he said "THERE IS GOES!," but he did always have the enthusiasm to try.
He said "ice alone - that's zero degrees centigrade". Why is it so? Not so! Ice can be as cold as any other solid - it just can't be greater than zero(under normal conditions). Love him anyway!!
I love him!!! The public access channel used to play these for hours in the middle of the night and I would stay up watching them wondering what the heck I had stumbled upon and how I'd be able to find them again. He's great. "Watch it now!"
did anyone notice he said "Boyles Law" but he should have mentioned Charles Law, temperature and pressure, but thats not taught anymore in NSW high school so who would know and for that matter not many science teachers inspire anymore unless you consider verbs and worksheets inspiring??
Acually, I had 6 incredibly inspiring science teachers throughout my highschool, and am now in college for chemistry where I've had yet another inspiring professor. Also, we learned Boyles, Charles, Gay-Lussac, and the combined gas law, as well as pv=nRt and derivatives of such.
I loved Julius Sumner Miller. He was like the Steve Irwin of physics in that he made it interesting and exciting and opened it up to much broader audience. kudos for posting these.
As long as you don't leave it in there, it's perfectly safe. It evaporates so fast from the proximity of your hand that unless you leave it in for more than a few seconds, the liquid never touches you, and it's like waving your arm around in a meat locker.

I don't know what his age was. He looked quite a bit older than 3.

nah, he was 3,
see, when you heat liquid nitrogen to body temperature he ages faster, he actually was 3.
