For the Love of Physics (Walter Lewin's Last Lecture)
On May 16, 2011, Professor of Physics Emeritus Walter Lewin returned to MIT lecture hall 26-100 for a physics talk and book signing, complete with some of his most famous physics demonstrations to celebrate the publication of his new book For The Love Of Physics: From the End of the Rainbow to the Edge of Time - A Journey Through the Wonders of Physics, written with Warren Goldstein.
Note: Due to a serious complaint against Dr. Lewin, MIT has revoked Dr. Lewin's title of Professor Emeritus as of December 2014.

Professor Lewin talks about some of the highlights from his early days at MIT. It began with balloon flights at very high altitude to make observations of the stars in X-rays. This led to discoveries of X-ray flaring events and a periodic X-ray source (GX 1 4). In the seventies and eighties he made important contributions to our understanding of X-ray bursts (thermonuclear fusion episodes on ne...

    I once saw a triple rainbow. I was driving 1 car and my brother driving another. We both pulled over on the highway and got out to enjoy the sight. This was pre cell phones, so sorry to say no photos. We were coming down from the mountains headed west to the flats plains. I am extremely color blind, but thus was a sight to see. We were not the only ones who stopped. YES, i will always see them differently now. And yes, I will seek them out. This has giving me the affliction he speaks of. It is unavoidable if you have given your attention to the lecture, you have it too. Fight the urge to speak of it to someone when you see the next rainbow, they are not afflicted. 👏

    The most charismatic, inspiring, dignified, and elucidating teacher of physics of the 20th century. His methods of communication, his manner of educating are as charming as they are wonderful. Not since the great Richard Feynman has there been such a popular educator of physics. His videos will be enjoyed for many generations to come.

    To maximize the efficiency of laser energy delivery systems from the Oort Cloud to a celestial body, you can consider the following steps: 1. Efficient Photons: Optimize the generation of laser photons for minimal waste and maximal energy conversion. 2. Polarization Control: Implement systems to control and depolarize photons as needed for energy distribution. 3. Beam Focusing: Use advanced optics to focus the laser beam tightly, minimizing dispersion and energy loss over long distances. 4. Adaptive Optics: Employ adaptive optics systems to correct for atmospheric turbulence and ensure accurate beam targeting. 5. Energy Conversion: Develop efficient mechanisms on the celestial body's surface to convert incoming laser energy into usable power. 6. Environmental Considerations: Account for the potential effects of laser energy on the target body's atmosphere, surface, and ecosystems. 7. Safety Protocols: Implement safeguards to prevent unintended consequences or potential dangers associated with high-energy laser systems. 8. Monitoring and Feedback: Continuously monitor the system's performance and adjust parameters in real time to optimize energy delivery. 9. Research and Development: Invest in ongoing research to improve the efficiency and safety of laser energy delivery technologies. 10. International Collaboration: Collaborate with other spacefaring nations to share knowledge and resources, promoting responsible use of such advanced technology. These steps involve a combination of technological advancements, careful planning, and rigorous safety measures to maximize efficiency and minimize potential risks in laser energy delivery systems.

    This is a real physics lecture! Good explanation! I fully understand why MIT is the no.1 university in this planet. Unlike my university, the lecturers just assume you understand everything and go to the ppt very fast. At the end of semester, we just concentrate on exams and we do not know what we have learnt.

    T="total time interval for collision". Initial momentum of particle: p={mV}→. Intermediate momentum of particle at t=½T: p⁰={m(0)}=0. Momentum increase through wall due to collision, in 1st ½T: p'={½Mv}→. Momentum value through wall due to restoring force, in 2nd ½T: p"=←{½Mv}. ∆p ="momentum transmission through wall" =←{½Mv} - {½Mv}→ =←{Mv} = ←{2mV}. Final momentum of particle=initial+change: p"'=←{mV}. ∆x="displacement of pressure front through wall" Χ=|∆x|="wall thickness"       |--∆x->| {mV}→|🧱🧱|  {m0} |---p'->| (wall displacement=dx→) ←{mV}|<---p"-| (p' flips to p"= -p' due to restoring force~ -{kdx}→=←{kdx})       |<--∆x | "Momentum transmission per second" = ∆p/T =←{2mV}/(½T+½T) =←{2mV}/(X/v+X/v) =←{2mV}(v/2X) =←{mV}(v/X) v is independent of V, as momentum transmssion to wall is via stress waves that travel at the speed of sound for the wall material. Wall momentum magnitude in a ½ period: ½Mv = mV So, v=2mV/M and ∆p/T =←{mV}(v/X). =←{mV}(2mV/MX). =←(2m/MX)mV². Density of wall=ρ=M/{Volume of wall} So, ρ=M/{XA}, where A= "total wall area". Now momentum transmission is: ∆p/T=←(2m/MX)mV². =←(2m/ρX²A)mV².

    It's more informative to say that the MAGNITUDE of Z, which is represented by |Z|, is equal to the square root term (sqrt of sum of rsquared and xsquared, which naturally computes to be > 0, but notice that the Z without the | | is of the complex form r + ix and is not formally > 0).

    Cant believe this is MIT lecture. He has given lots of math but not the physics concepts behind it. The hidden assumption in force and momentum relation is "mass is constant". Why force = mass X acceletation?. why not force=massXspeed?. School kids can learn better from standard physics books.
