Lecture 10 | New Revolutions in Particle Physics: Basic Concepts

(December 3, 2009) Leonard Susskind gives the tenth lecture of a three-quarter sequence of courses that will explore the new revolutions in particle physics. In this lecture he continues on the subject of quantum field theory, including, the diary equation and Higgs Particles.

Leonard Susskind, Felix Bloch Professor of Physics, received a PhD from Cornell University and has taught at Stanford since 1979. He has won both the Pregel Award from the New York Academy of Science and the J.J. Sakurai Prize in theoretical particle physics. He is also a member of the National Academy of Sciences.

A good provider of topics and lessons that can educate you.

nice... it's really for the theory just like my professor.. hmm.. i guess that would make student like the subject if it's well discussed.

This lecture is nice. Good points to ponder on.

@Gtrbasse Yes, the next series is on iTunes U. Go to bit [dot] ly/aqjkxH

[Gtrbasse]

is there any way to get hold of: 'Supersymmetry, Grand Unification, and String Theory' other than iTunes? I would love to watch them here...

Hell yeah. Susskind's using an Expo.

@vanderbilt887 I can also recommend Prof Richard A Muller (Berkeley).

@vanderbilt887 I like Susskinds lectures to. There's a whole course year posted on Youtube. His modest tempo of speaking. Answering questions in between, and clear explaination (in normal English, he doesn't use to much academic words) make it understandable for allmost anybody. Even if you don't have a background in physics.

I also like Walter Lewin (MIT).

I love these courses by Susskind. They are excellent introductions, quite accessible, and yet not of the banal and vulgar level one encounters in so much "introductions".

Thanks for uploading Stanford.
