me to :) we watch his videos in class alot i love him!!!!!!!!!!

[mellenstei]

thanks. i'll try to put more on.

this guy makes physics the best thing ever,at my uni all my physics teacher does is get dam equations and starts rearranging them to suite the question asked?i come to watch this excellent tutor to know why and what is happening? excellent thanks allot for uploading

[zioboby]

he's good because he is CHUCK NORRIS

[absba9]

this is outstanding

@mellenstei upload the complete lectures or where can I find them ?

[bababerry100]

so there is a centripetal force.... but why the water did not fall out...??

[CydoniaKnight1]

He talks like someone out of a Scooby Doo episode xD

Great teacher though :D

Funny helps with kids. And he is funny. But if he is right, then Einstein is wrong. Think on that. Probably gravitation is a fictitious force appearing due to the deformation of space, and the only real force would be centrifugal. Accelerometers in free fall do not feel any force. That may be because it does not exist... (?)

And he IS freaking Chuck Norris !!!

struggling to understand physics...this helped ! Thx

Off topic I believe gyroscopic motion might be the link between mass and motion, and as you know, all existing matter is built upon complex rotating/orbiting motion.

Even the Earth : )

I think this is a misconception of newton's law of acceleration. It only tells you what happens, it doesn't tell you why. It doesn't directly say that inertia is a force in its own right which acts on objects, though it clearly does, and no one dears to ask where that force comes from. I.e when you try to angularly accelerate a big wheel, you will feel an powerful resistance to your force, what is pushing against you?

Even more troublesome are gyroscopic motion and forces.
