That isn't *actually* negative Kelvin though! It is merely an inversion of energy equilibrium, very unstable. Check out sixtysymbol's video on this topic, Prof. James Morriarity does a great job explaining this phenomenon.

I love Prof. Walter Lewin. Such a genuine man who's passionate about his lectures and physics in general. The best educators are those who have a love for the field they teach.

[john jacob jingleheimer schmidt]

hmm not too helpful, a bit basic. teaching method slightly primitive too, not the best professor.

[Maryam Ebrahimi]

(*infrared). I'm not sure what you're referring to when you say "lines".

[Ron Perera]

I wish this was my lecturer... I understand what he says.. compared to the lecturers these days they just say shit from the book.. copy and paste.. and when ask them a question, they just repeat what they said before... Damn now i know what to do, i can finish my assignment..

Do a search on "Walter Lewin's Best Lines". Someone compiled all of his dotted line drawing in a video.

He wears his breakfast on his shirt. It reminds him of where he gets his energy to do what he does.
