This guy is really helpful, and a great teacher, I can't believe I'm watching University lectures for free.

I think that peeve in the audience asked a question so necessary they had to cut the sound out.

An instructor who knows what he's doing. Good man.

a person who understands and masters physics is a great teacher, even if he is a peacful guy

balancing the pendulum on the top is a standard trick for robotics

@mrunzi76 this guy is no ordinary physicist - he's the guy who bitch slapped Hawking.
