[grunder20]

a brilliant man based on the interview.

[thegreeensky]

nice video.. great words... helpful for those who hate science..

looks like steve carell in ron burgandy - cool professor though!

[skimowhite586]

BEST COMMENT EVER 2:36

[gokugenin]

you're way too cool for a professor man. I conclude you are fictional

p.s. who finds physics dull

[masmaiz3188]

a very educated man i tell you that.

[Tronn73]

I have his book. Very entertaining and informative.

[KaylaJo96]

Ahhh!  I have him as a professor this semester! =D He's so awesome.

[azstong]

A very interesting, knowledgable & fascinating man. GOPHER NATION!!!!!!!!

[skimowhite586]

@azstong whats wrong with you

[CoolIceHockeyChick]

it is my dream to go to this collage, be on the hockey team, major in phisics, and if u teach for that long i want to be ur student!

[MattyHild]

@CoolIceHockeyChick

I don't think you'd manage physics.

[100swp]

i dont know what it has to do with it but its funny

[rhythmali]

can u prove that comment? also, wtf does this have 2 do with the science of watchmen?

[messiefee]

hey esta fregon este proyecto pero deverian poner subtitulos porque no todos savemos inglés...

[ErikRicardoLC]

Y algunos ni español...

[jdsilver86]

Fail, YouTube, fail.

[jdsilver86]

Advertising in education? I don't fucking think so.

[flyeswatter]

OMG!!!!! thats my physics professor!!!!!!!!!!!!! ahhhhhhhhh thats effing amazing hehe what a goof!

[thelossbloodlock]

tell him hi from one of his fans :D

[geekatron1995]

lol.

my physics senses are tingling.

[deenualhaq]

according to the Islamic religion we believe that the antichrist will have super natural power ( SATAN ), he will appear anywhere at any time, and may be copy himslef, the blue colour is satanic,it will be written in his forehead the word infidel in arabic ( Kafir ) and every believer will manage to read it even if he doesn't know arabic, that satan that will rule from Israel will make super natural things, he will say that i am your God, he will appear mostly everywhere,watchout soon

[KoNP69]

Blah blah blah blah... you know the world is laughing at you freaks for a reason, right? You know it's not just random contempt...

Right?

[knowledgeispower777]

Good thing it's all a myth then or I might have been scared!!!!

[mikevnzla]

ok man it's good you believe in God and actually believe in what your holy book say but that's a movie and a series of comics before that so please... it's just about sitting down a have a nice time watching it

[WhytGold]

I'm not in physics but I know about wave patterns. THIS IS THE COOOOOLLLLLEESSSTTT way EVER to think about physics! I will SO buy his book one day (if it is not at the library for free!!!!!!!) I think it will help me in class. Also I think he was on the discovery channel or something like tlc back in the day--or maybe the science channel. FOR THE BOOK! COOOOOOOOLLLL!!!!!!! I will try to think about all classes like this--as interestingly as possible! APPLY!

[Archantis]

lol whats the deal with hulks pants anyway.

[Kostly]

Any game you play, any task you perform involves physics. You don't need to know, number-wise, how you arrived at a good result. I imagine it helps to know exactly how to figure out all that goes into a 98 mph fastball (or whatever else) from start to finish, but I don't know a professional pitcher that knows how to break that problem down.

[junior535353]

this reminded me of jesus i dont know why but a really weird thought came to me what if jesus's body was somehow altered thus he was able to do all those "miracles" just a thought

[kcjenner1]

It's those "really weird thought"s that can also be viewed as "thinking outside the box" that has many times lead to great discoveries. Don't lose that ability.

The "Intrisic Field" may not be considered valid only because it's not fully understood. If it were, the 'ME' might be 'WE'.

[Voular]

He's a low level superhero in his own right! Go professor comicbook!

[k9guy1]

"By day, I am a mild-mannered physics professor." Haha

[hathawbj]

G'damn Kakalios, listen to you preach that science to the masses! You made for an interesting talk in my Nanoparticle Science class, but I had no idea the true extent of your pedagogy-shattering skills of science interpretation.

[Raedan23]

lol, i can see this guy snapping and strapping himself on to a particle accelerator. i can't say i blame him, i want superpowers too goddamnit!

[derrick725]

Yeah, being polite definitely makes people perceive you as a more credible source so you may want to work on that. You would have a hard time enjoying a lot of comics without physics since a good deal of them were written by physicists and "science nerds." The people that do enjoy the physics aspects of them are usually the type that sit around daydreaming about their own powers and once in a while make the theoretical, practical in the next big science breakthrough.

[TheTarrMan]

cool, 5 stars

[yb1711]

that was awesome. Its professors like this that actually help students gain an appreciation for the sciences

[DVSTODAHORA]

tem traduzido para o Português ?

[amd2q9]

why is everyone on youtube so god damned retarded

[dmnxCGi]

yeah. I didn't even go to science university. I went to art college. but I found this really interesting. People here are idiots plus ignorant, I'm not quite sure what they expect when watching a video from a science professor, well I guess from reading the comments here and the other video certainly they don't expect science talk from a science professor, do they?

[NoRotorNoMotor114]

@amd2q9 Because the internet is where retards can roam free my friend. And on top of that they can roam free.. anonymously. Sad.. I know.

[Heligoland43]

@amd2q9 best god damned comment ever.

[Valentin0o]

what a commedian

[iarechristopher]

Yes, you can. But it's interesting to see how science can be relevant in the comic book world.

[aydonis]

lol what's the hulks pants got to do with physics? The purple dye in the pants releases toxins into his legs which make him hallucinate and think he's growing and fighting bad guys when really he's twitching and thrashing around on the ground tearing at his clothes, (which is why they're ripped after the episode) and having an adverse reaction to the toxins. Long term exposure has made him delusional. He's really just trapped in his head unaware of the sad reality. That's chemistry lol

[lokir]

Haha... very funny!

[rne1223]

hahaha

[amauta5]

It makes me sad when people like you comment on educated videos. ugh. I guess they don't teach you to be polite in your JC

[TheTarrMan]

you need to be polite- a-hole

[aydonis]

Usually the way a person attempts to insult another is buy using material that reflects the offence they themselves are guilty of commiting. In short perhaps you should polish up on your manners; I was making light of a comment in his video. So at least I took the time to watch it through and paid attention enough to pick up on his Hulk comment. Whereas you just read the comments, and comment negatively on a comment. How incredibly dull of you. =P

[amauta5]

I appreciate your comment, but you would impressed and disappointed if you saw all the comments that uneducated people make. It makes me sick and enough is enough. This is like the obesity problem in the US. It is up to everybody to fix it, but we choose to do nothing (on average).

[archvile2000000]

hulk need super stretchy!

[gaussminigun]

.....you two needs to comment more on this video and stop commenting on each other

[gangstasmurf06]

uh?

[lewdog1985]

U of M...of course...
