One of the last lectures of the semester from the (WONDERFUL) class "Physics for Future Presidents" class at UC Berkeley. The class is taught by Richard Muller, but this lecture is from Bob Jacobsen, who is also a great lecturer (and has appeared on at least one episode of Mythbusters, yeah!).

This is from Spring 2009:

This is lecture #31:
http://webcast.berkeley.edu/course_details_new.php?seriesid=2009-B-51905|2009-B-69390&semesterid=2009-B

But there are several versions of this course going back for the past several years. One of the earlier semesters is on YouTube in its entirety:

for THOUSANDS of lectures from HUNDREDS of classes, as well as other events.

They have more than just science stuff, but that just happens to be what interests me the most.

Intro to Physics part 2. He's a very funny guy.

[RabidApe]

right on!

I listened to a fair amount of his intro part 1 lectures over the course of the semester.

Thank him for me if you get a chance! I'm very grateful to him and UC.

Sending out the pioneer was a pretty stupid idea.

thanks for the vid. Must say I was going "wtf" over the sound at first before it was apparent he was blowing up a balloon =)
