@harshbharucha lol.. yea you really are 15

thankyou a lot.

Susskind is a top physicist and a brilliant lecturer—a rare combination. He is in a class with Feynman.

Sussknd makes this look so easy. I have waited 40 years for this clarity of exposition.

The next step is to couple the Electron and EM fields.I am sure Susskind will be able to explain this and do it in such a fashion that freshmen will be able to understand. Right on! Why cannot all teachers do this?

[TristanTheSaint]

@luzzie9 because it takes an extraordinary amount of understanding to be able to see things and explain things clearly: most of the teachers do not have this because most of the teachers do not have the research experience and talent of Prof. Susskind.

I am myself one of those... listening to Susskind helps me prepare my lessons but it also makes me understand better some aspects of the theory I thought I had mastered.

(: great

[samudra8O]

these lectures are a great service to mankind, thank you so much.

[zat04]

well dont know about great service, but defenitely these lectures are an opportunity to learn something, so thanks from me 2.

Anyway, had to remind myself at 12:00 to 13:00 where it says about the conserved quantity, why is this specific quantity conserved if δL=0. This is answered in the previous lecture at about 1:19:00 (noether's theorem).
