George gets all the girls.

I disagree - you're quite cool professor. ^_^

Good video. I learned something new.

Is there a way to see the whole uncut video (or videos, not only for this one, but the whole sixtysymbols videos)?

Thanks

I like all the profs, but this guy is my fave for some reason lol

brady, get your head around quantum mechanics, I want to hear the rest!

At 2:34 Very nice big signal" of 4-5 mA

At 3:00 Polarised: "Really big signal" of 6-7 mA - Why is it now BIGGER?

At 4:38 "Lovely big fat signal" of 8 mA

At 6:05... Wouldn't that horizontal part be smaller than the original signal... not bigger.! Especially when probabilty of fotons passing is 1/2....

Finally U all know how your LCD monitor works...

Greatly explained about road and river reflation and polar glass activity which I was not aware of. I knew about polar glasses and how it works though but your explanation was awesome and made my brain clear like looking inside pond wearing polar glasses. Thank you.

Physics explained by a playa.

6:53 - you meant now it's coming out with an angle 90 degrees to what you're showing, right? =)

Once can "understand" polarization, in an abstract sense, in terms of polaroid films turned this way and that. And even in terms of weird quantum effects when the films are at 45 degree angles from each other.

But watching Roger Bowley rotate that oven rack in front of the microwave oven really brings it all home. The transverseness of electromagnetic waves is *real* in a way that it wasn't, quite, before. Kitchens are much underutilized as science laboratories, these days. Yeah. I know. ;-)
