Liquid Helium II: The Superfluid - segment 5of5

[KenoshiAkai]

This is amazing to watch. It's great learning about this subject, but I have to say that I love the feel of it all....the simple black and white photography, the very practical editing, the voice of the narrator. He is a very good speaker. Very clear, and captivating. An artifact from another time, yet still very relevant today.

Mind blowing facts. Why isn't this shown in grade school? I believe it would compel a child's mind into pursuing education to its limits and push knowledge further. Instead, it's Jersey Shore and American Idol. We are ignorant dolts! This is amazing work. Thank You for uploading this.

[salomon163]

Wow ... Unreal!

Your grandfather is a great teacher.Thanks Alfred!!

[mindauggas]

i have watched all the series ... can someone please sum up all the most important expressed in here ??

[Bitayaka]

well... you see. He summed it up in the very end but in even simpler terms.

Superfluid is a sentient being that can pat its head while rubbing is tummy

[rainmanjsm]

no friction. Which means it if sped up, it could possibly exceed the speed of light

[Pskawt]

F00L

[rainmanjsm]

why couldn't it?

[siloraptor]

Nothing short or miraculous, Helium II allows us to see the quantum concept of uncertainty at a naked eye, non atomic level. A real life Schrodinger cat :)

[knucklefucker]

Wow, that was really cool!

...God I'm a nerd.

[remix1on1]

how does this not win a nobel prize????

[Bludgeonier]

These guys were ineligiable , because they were recreating work done by German scientists durring WWII , who were in turn ineligiable due to being funded by war criminals. Goofy, ain't it?

[libbern]

Yeah, but many scientist have been, and still are, funded by war criminals...^^

Of course, the nazi war machine was not a good thing, but their scientist did indeed do a lot of great work. Just look at everything they did in the aftermatch of the war as well. Both the russians and the americans were more or less kidnapping them to get them working for their side:D

[MadMojoMonkey]

Ok, now I'm looking up Bose-Einstein Condensate. Isn't that the quantum mechanical explanation he alluded to?

[ale86itn]

Yes!

[JW93HB07]

that was VERY interesting to watch, i failed to understand some points made (i am young and still attending compulsory education)

some of the properties of this super liquid is truly bizzar and at the same time amazing :)

thank you VERY much for posting this!

[ale86itn]

You're welcome. Thanks for your nice comment. Keep studying - it'll help you later in many ways. Good Luck!

[cursingyorick]

good sience never gets boring.

thanks for posting this video.

[Sforschondetta]

he was married too

[Fullperson]

wow his explanations are really helpful! I wish he were my physics teacher (no offense to my current physics teacher but I've had to re-learn material via the text book)

[victor2cutube]

too bad the video hasn't been restored so the sound can be cleaned up and put back into sync

[29379]

great work..withut any stupid theorys...just practical science is where it should stay......nice vid

[ale86itn]

Thanks!

[s3sh]

Excellent videos. Thanks

[DrewCameron]

This guy is awesome, great video. Anyone know more about him?

[bmatulis]

He is my grandfather. He was a professor of physics at Michigan State University and, later, at RPI. He earned his PhD from Yale in 1948, after immigrating from Austria during World War II.

[DrewCameron]

No offence intended, but is he still alive? If so, I hope you tell him how interesting everyone finds these videos.

[bmatulis]

Yes, he is. His youtube username is: ale86itn.

[purplegumibear]

Excellent series! thanks so much for posting.

[nolaeast]

I have just viewed the entire series. This is wonderful. Thanks for posting it.

[IAmShocked]

thank you so much for posting this.

i have been wanting to understand and view superfluid states for ever.

[joelito101]

In other videos on Youtube you can find out that a metallic super fluid can be used to bend the light around it, kind of like a hot road on a sunny day. This will create a wave of magnetism to ride on at super speeds.

[pyrotek7x7]

I spent 30 minutes watching these videos.

I LOVE LEARNING! o_0 I need to get an MP3 player, get these lectures onto it, and listen to them on the bus ride to school.

[Danitech2999]

Extraordinary. Awesome. Real Science.

[andrea83banzai]

this was 25 years ago... I can't image the progress that can be reached in this time...

thax for posting

[fleming1972]

Would you believe 45 years ago?

[DrewCameron]

This was 46 years ago, wasn't it?

[bmatulis]

The film was made in 1963.

[Domgenstein]

Just amazing. I want more.

[bmatulis]

Search for "alfred leitner" on google to find a website containing more of his films (youtube's filters restrict me from identifying the site here).

[boxa888]

awesome scientist, so this guys your grandfather, hes a great scientist. he proves scientifically that our classical laws can be violated and thats awesome, thats a real scientist, thinking outside the box!!!!!

[nustada]

Laws are never violated, just our definitions.

[kidquango]

great stuff, cheers

[PrinceZuko26]

Great vids. Really interesting!

[padlamoij]

Thanks for posting this. Very interesting.
