English is not my mother tongue, I actually could understand most of the principles she was explaning but there is a word that I couldn't understand, which I think is veeeery important. And she says " space has to be ***cludian, case closed" on the 9':11'' part of the video. Can someone help me? thanks

@danolisp She says "Euclidian" as in Euclid the ancient Greek mathematician. Euclidean space is regular 3D space that conforms to Euclidian geometry. You should be able to find more with Google.

Wonderfully clear teaching. I even understand Kant better afterwards and used some of this in my course about Kant and Leibniz in northeast of Brazil. I would be glad if there were more of this.

@jimtrueblue99 You should take that question very seriously. If you can figure out some pattern in why our brightest ancestors did not realize things that we now understand simply, you might begin to understand the kind of effort that is needed in finding the simple truths that currently lie hidden in our blindspots! :)

I'm really enjoying these lectures... I have to be honest, however, I just noticed she sounds a bit like Jimmy Neutron, and now I can't un-hear it. :)

@dylanlawless1 Yes. I can tell the difference between flat and curved. Can't you?

@jimtrueblue99 would it have occurred to you without being told.

at 1:20, she says that the upward force of the lever is parallel to the downward forces of the two weights. This is impossible because the force vectors of the downward weights converge at the center of the earth.

I arrested this lady for possession of Heroin and indecent exposure to minors about a month ago.
