Physics 10 – Lecture 01: Atoms and Heat
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.

This is awesome. I get to review my physics for free. Thanks people.

Ooh, how nice to have graduated. Nice intro of the lecturer.

name calling says more about YOU than anything else. Good rule of thumb if you dont have anything positive and productive to contribute be quiet. WHAT was the point of your rudeness other than to drag a great thread down and ruin everyone elses experience

Its interesting after he gets going.
But he is self absorbed, boring, and wastes a lot of time for the first 15 minutes. At least the dumb ass should have found out how to plug shit in, and the basics of his demonstrations, BEFORE class.

This is a perfect display of the amazing use of youtube thanks for uploading these.

saved a truckload of money just watching the video lol- Very cool lecture, thanks for the post

Please dont stop uploading these, i am only at the high school level but i am learning so much from these videos!!!

Dont underestimate the quality and richness of knowledge stored in national libraries. Libraries have classified all literature in different categories. There you can find reliable sources and also pick literature that suits your current level of understanding, and there you can find professionals that can guide you in literature selection (i.e. librarians
Then use physics forum to ask question to compliment what you read and learnt.
I am afraid it’ll take years to gain deep understanding.

I didnt mean hate hate. Most scientists i think are not interested.
Just apreciate your point of view thats all some people look at the world through the bible others through mathmatics. Suppose it all depends on the personality of the person.
Anyway im a fish out of water here so thats my last comment.
God bless.

Not sure if you refer to me, but if so why would I hate them?
Anyway, I see a difference in what I want to believe in and what I possible can sustain as reasonable things to believe in. What I use as reasons are scientific understanding, other people may refer to reasons of other means. I honestly believe that “other means” is not a good way to acquire an accurate description of reality in fact history shows we havent made much progress before we started to use science.

Cheap skates! So in all the books i have read (you would probably hate them – mysticism an all that) they were twisting words. Oh well; cant say im not dissapointed but its good to know the truth. Thank yous. (o:

When a physic says “observer” and “observation”, (s)he refers to the measurement apparatus and the measurement value it produces, not the persons conduction the experiment. In this sense it turns out that the observation (the measurement) in q-mechanics indeed is dependent on the observer (the measure apparatus).

Nothing says things must take up less space with lower temperature. The space configuration of solid water is larger than liquid water. Water close to freezing will start take up more space as it adjust to is solid state.
Black is “no color”. The paint you refer to is probably radar paint, which absorb radar waves and make the radar signature much smaller.
Atoms are seen indirectly. But everything is seen indirectly. What we see is not the real object but interpretation of bounced photons.

i dont even know why i cliked on this, yawn lol

I like your state of mind. People interpret the world around the acording to their opinions and one persons beliefs are no more correct than anothers. Dont the results of quantum mechanics experiments depend upon the observers??

How nice. Im only slightly bothered. (o: Still; nobody answered my questions. If when things get colder the paticles move less and take up less space why does water expand when you freeze it? I said we have never seen atoms which the prfessor denies. The Japs rendered their planes invisible by painting them (recently) with a paint with a color that was outside of our vissible spectrum. Is the thing we see through an electron microscope just a computers interpretation??

well it’s there first lecture im sure that he is just re introducing them back in to something that they may have forgot

@OnBrokenDreams That’s a shame they deleted your post, because it would have been a great opportunity for them to SHARE their knowledge with you. I feel like all too often, those in pursuit of science forget that we’re all on the same team, and that it’s detrimental to us all to shun those with less knowledge, just because you don’t feel like explaining something to them. Don’t let it bother you.

@LeonPhythian69 What was the purpose of this comment?
December 18th, 2009 at 6:21 am
well we learn it in (most) secondary schools in america, but this is probably going in to detail and focusing more on it rather than just touching on it
