    Was one of the most fun maths related talks I have been to.

  • the only thing I didnt like was his stab at bassist's... but luckily I have good humour =P we are talented too!

  • This guy is amazing, such a great guitar player, but he can explain how it works and what happens and takes place. Plus, he played Metallica as we went into the hall to watch him, what a legend.

  • i went to see him today and he is well good!

  • Saw this guys in rock in 11 dimensions today - brilliant

  • yh me too, i learnt more then than the rest of the year in physics XD

  • at 01:22 he got it wrong. at the 12th fret its the second harmonic, there's no such thing as the first harmonic. kinda sad really considering he has a phd in guitar acoustics or so he says.

  • Hi monkeyfodder,

    Calling the fundamental the "zeroth" harmonic or the "first" harmonic is a matter of rather arbitrary convention. The latter is more common and fits with odd & even harmonics better. The former is more inuitive so I chose it for this "physics for a lay audience" programme.

    There's certainly no call for impugning my integrity - you can read my PhD thesis abstract on the Cardiff University website.

    Cheers,

    Mark

  • Sorry, that should read "intuitive", not "inuitive". I don't generally do physics lectures for Eskimos.

  • woo i was there on the front row

  • Woo i go to bolton school lol so i was there obviously

  • i saw this guy at a lecture earlier today in bolton very interesting lecture

    what hes talking about in this video he talked about in the lecture also

  • i wuz there tday in school too at bolton cause i go there

  • your coming to slough grammar :) im looking forward to the lecture

  • I went to the lecture at Loretto Grammar School. I thought it was brilliant, and I actually got most of it. All our class has been bugging the teacher to start playing her guitar in lessons.

  • Saw you in Galway on saturday, very enjoyable talk, never before have I been interested in physics! And might I say you also have all the criteria for melting minds with those skills!

  • Cheers mulc, West Ireland is a fab place.

    Correction to About This Video: my website is doctorlewney dot com (not "marklewney").

  • Hey I saw you at the university in limerick, very interesting lecture especially the latter half dealing with string theory and the universe!
