This video is a part of a lecture from MIT open courseware. The teacher is Prof. Walter Lewin. He is Dutch origin astrophysicist. But at 1966 he went to MIT and stayed there.
When I was a physics student I struggled to overcome and ignore my intuition to come to the correct answer. Often it was just a matter of smashing together two equations I knew, but instead I messed the whole thing up following my intuition.
Well magic is tricking you Crazy physics is just wowing you with things you wouldn't expect done by forces you don't understand. They're different things. But in a way, you can learn both physics and magic and wow people with both of them. Magic, you're just more involved. You have to do convincing slight-of-hand and things like that. ... I think they're both cool 😊
More often than not, this type of hands on lecture is seldom taught even at a university level anymore. I have been to more passive lectures than I can count where you sit and listen to someone talk about equations and mathematics, simply just to hear themselves talk.
thetrainman407 Yeah but at least those sometimes use the board and what they say you can actually follow. The worst shit is when the lecturer is using some wall of text ppt which you have no chance of absolving and taking notes of. And has these extremely complicated drawings that when you go home, you have no idea what the mean. It's lazy and makes keeping up with the lecturer a fucking nightmare.
Well it means the same thing. Formulas are lime abbreviations to simplify these things so they can be unified with other formulas. For example, Schrödinger’s cat is a very simple and famous paradox among scientists. There is a cat that is put in a box sealed with a vial of poison bound to expose and poison the cat at any given moment. The box is locked and not see through so unless you open the box you don’t know if the cat is dead or alive. So the cat is thought of as dead and alive. The formula for this experiment is \hat{H} \Psi=E \Psi. It is much shorter but I can not copy and paste the formula so just google it and you will see.
I've shown all my young kids this video in preparation of bike riding, and had great success afterward, they quickly understand how speed is their friend to being stable on it. Thanks professor.
Young Keanu Reeves: "This bicycle cannot go slower than 2 m/s!" Horrified bicycle rider: "Why? What happens if it goes slower?" Young Keanu Reeves: "... it will fall over and that hurts." **audience gasps**
+Milano Walter Yes, and why that is, is still a bit of a science mystery. The Technical University of Delft showed that the angluar momentum of the wheels were by far not enough to explain why a bike does not fall over when no one is steering it at speed.
+Ronald de Rooij It's because when you're on a bike and you start tipping, you steer into it to keep you upright. It's not gyroscopic effects, but it's not a mystery either, though it is quite complicated. the slight backwards tilt of the steering column also helps - really it's that what keeps the bike upright and rolling along even if you jump off, or you just give it a push and let go...
+BLITZKRIEG 'it' may be 'unsolved' (for a given definition of 'unsolved'), but that doesn't change the fact that gyroscopic effects have almost nothing to do with it, and the stuff I mentioned have almost everything to do with it. Begone, mystery-monger! The power of Newton compels you!
@@forresthopkinsa Well, some do. The ones that really just want to do research pick up teaching as a side gig at the university theyre researching at to pickup some extra money, but beyond that youd be correct

Amit kumar “metaphysician is sort of a Super scientist” wtf kind of bs is this? Who reads this trash? I didn’t know there was a “Super” level when classifying Scientists.
It is if you squeeze your brain a little. When the wheel spins fast the centrifugal force creates an inertia in all directions from the center of the wheel along the 2d plane outwards. That force have a direction along the plane and it will require a greater force to change its direction. That is, to tilt the imaginary 2d plane you would need a greater force than the one produced by the inertia. The 2 kg weight is not enough force to overcome the angular momentum of the spinning wheel.
But the effect actually is intuitive if you ever played with "toy" gyroscopes as a child, lol. You automatically understand what's happening. Even if you don't understand the math.
My high school physics teacher, Robert Barkovitz, taught with interactive/physical displays just like this! Which is why I became an engineer, and went to MIT :D Thank you, Mr. Barque!!
Engaging video on wheel momentum. Clear explanations, relatable examples. Visuals enhance learning. Teacher's passion and expertise shine. Enjoyable and informative. Keep up the good work!
I love that he repeats "none of this is intuitive" Meaning that it took quite a bit of working out to arrive at the answers they have. Understanding the relationship of momentum and torque in that scenario took time and a lot of experimentation before someone could formulaically express what they were seeing and predict results using the formula he shows. To understand things takes more than being able to pattern match in your brain. You have to check the bias and patterns youre used to and challenge them to shake out what is right.
@@SSniperFly-lr7zb I think it's more about how amazing it was to have been able to figure out these completely unnatural and bizzare concepts of energy and how things work and being able to show the math behind it. Even though at the time it's mind boggling. Kind of like when the world was discovered and proven to be round Pythagoras himself must have still felt perplexed by the idea, because the world he grew up in was always flat until the moment struck, and even then most of the world's "intuition" would have disagreed with him. It's not about the word intuitive so much as his acknowledgement of how truly difficult it would have been for these people to wrap their mind around a new concept that goes completely against everything they knew (so far). It was simply a nod to our predecessors in science and discovery, more than a spelling lesson. But hey sarcasm is always the funniest joke. Anyways physics works and I'm still alive.

How he says ”none of this is intuitive " reminds me so much of my university phyisics II professor when discussing electromagnetism with us...one of the best classes I ever took...God bless professors like both of them
+mantas kaupas Most physics professors do the occasional demonstration, which is usually entertaining, but 95% of lecture time is copying down a shitload of text and doing example questions.
How I wish our professors would teach us like this in the university. It's easier to learn when lessons are demonstrated like this than just discussing the lecture. It makes it more interactive which makes it memorable and easily understood.
This reminds me of my physics 101 class at Michigan State in 1974. The classroom was virtually identical to this lecture auditorium. The professor had a student stand on a lazy susan type of platform and hold the bike wheel while she (professor) used a power drill to wind the wheel up to a truly frightening speed. I was worried the wheel was going to grab the student's shirt and end up killing the kid. The professor told the student to twist the axle to see what would happen. We all knew that this would make the student rotate on the lazy susan platform. However, the student gave the wheel an excessively strong twist and found the forces too strong to control. The wheel jerked from his hand and he ended up barely maintaining balance on one foot in an extremely twisted posture while holding the uncontrolable, madly spinning wheel in one hand above his head. Eventually, the wheel twisted out of his hand, landed on the desk, let out a squeel of spinning rubber and took off up the audtorium. Every time it landed on a desk, papers and notebooks would go flying as paniced students were diving out of the way. Best physics lesson ever.
In the 90s at MIT, they used to do the experiment of shooting a bullet into a suspended woodblock, to see how much the block would swing, and thus calculate the bullet's velocity. With a real bullet shot from a real gun!! All done very safely of course. I don't know if that still happens to this day, but that was an amazing class.
My high school physics teacher used to say “Physics is phun” (yes, the F in fun was replaced with PH). It was at the top of every worksheet he created for the class.
I never understood angular momentum in University. I could see everything in physics except that. And then HE made the statement the angular momentum chases the torque. Such a brilliant way to tie into linear dynamics. So cool. I can now see the force acting on the momentum in spin. I wish I had him for undergrad physics.
He is truly a great teacher, just doesn't teach it from a book and write it on a black board, he gives u excellent examples that teaches u more then any book could ...
10 years ago, I have learned from his video lectures from MIT. I still remember all of highlights like this one. That was an amazing journey. What was surprising for me, is that studying from him, in English, was earlier than from my own professors, in Polish. Search for his video lectures!! And have fun
This is the same couple that keeps a spinning top (toupie) from falling while it's rotating. The second half of his experiment is much more difficult to comprehend ; the added weight increases the couple that is trying to topple the spinning wheel which the latter counters with more precession angle that causes the faster rotations, just like a spinning top starts making bigger circles on the ground when it is loosing momentum and just before it topples it is drawing fast circles in the air with its top.
I did pure maths, so for me there were no experiments. However, it's all about getting vivid examples for people to remember. And a great lecturer was professor Ian Stewart (Warwick University - he worked with Terry Pratchett). He was my supervisor during my masters and an amazing guy. Truly incredible lecturers like this make it all worth it. He would give us hundreds of examples when studying fractional dimensions and such (topology for dynamical systems and chaos theory). He made the hardest thing easy to comprehend.
I am kind of students who doesn't get the subject so easily with just a theory, a practical example like will change a lot my perception of school life back then
In lectures in our university we are supposed to imagine all these stuff with no live action which is really hard sometimes, just signes and things going here and there, it's a bit demotivating.
Simo Ritto unless professors also have esp (mind reading capabilities) no one can understand your thoughts or imagination either right or wrong. Imagination is important, also hands on practicality.

@Hingle McCringleberry one of the best and classic comment I have every seen.....true tho
@@MicroageHD For some people is the other way around.
CZcams recommend me after 10 years ❤️😜
It's amazing to understand the rules of PHYSIK'S ! ! !
a physics teacher that can turn a boring equation into a cool magic trick is very rare. This professor is amazing!
In lectures in our university we are supposed to imagine all these stuff with no live action which is really hard sometimes, just signes and things going here and there, it's a bit demotivating.
This comment fits with ur pfp so badly...
Simo Ritto unless professors also have esp (mind reading capabilities) no one can understand your thoughts or imagination either right or wrong.
Imagination is important, also hands on practicality.
That's a pretty unmistakable Dutch accent....lol
Non of this intuitive.
