Physics 10 - Lecture 17: Quantum I

Physics 10: Physics for Future Presidents. Spring 2006. Professor Richard A. Muller. The most interesting and important topics in physics, stressing conceptual understanding rather than math, with applications to current events. Topics covered may vary and may include energy and conservation, radioactivity, nuclear physics, the Theory of Relativity, lasers, explosions, earthquakes, superconductors, and quantum physics.

The reason you need to pay $100,000 for an education that you can get for $50 a month in broadband charges is to get a job. Neither the government nor any other organization will hire you based on merit. You cannot get a degree based on examination results alone. You must buy your way in through the education mafia.

Just think about the fact that this means that Berkeley University is handing out a free course in quantum physics worth $100,000 and what's more there are no exams to take!

Note that a year at Berkeley isn't 100,000 dollars. Its 11,000 for instate tuition. Large difference.

@2eelShmeal Yes, sex jokes, now we've gotten to real issues.

@MEpianist You win Mr. youtube bully. As far as being an obnoxious twat, well you are what you eat pal. Maybe someday you'll experience that too.

@2eelShmeal No one pays $100,000 for one course. And no physics major could rest on this class alone. This is obviously an overview course which necessarily discourages thorough interrogation of more advanced classes.

Now, I'd generally agree that tuition inflation is a problem but I'd point more towards Big Business that desires indebted workers and Big Government that desires lower unemployment. Now, why don't you just admit that you didn't read the god-damn title, you obnoxious twat.

@MEpianist YES FUCKFACE ...FUTURE PRESIDENTS..... I GET IT...

Then tell me this: What the fuck does a future president need with a physics course that costs $100,000 but gives no more details than the History channel does in a typical hour long program? I mean what the fuck good is a physics course that just skims over important details? If all you wanted was an overview of physics (which is all this course provides) then why pay 100,00? It's because people don't earn status, THEY BUY IT.

@2eelShmeal Read the god-damn title of the class

Now that I am up to lecture 17, I must say that while this course has been very informative, I can't imagine someone spending $100,000 for it. The entire course is a sort of gloss over of the science. He never goes into great detail, and often even suggests that the students "Don't really need to know this" and "Don't really need to understand that". He discourages probing deeper into things.

If I'm spending $100,000 I want some details. Common advanced placement HS students know this stuff.
