Prof Adams is a great Lecturer! Very enthusiastic, very knowledgeable, with a sense of humor.
This guy fucking loves what he knows, and he wants you to love it too, which is incredibly refreshing.
Class begins at 10:30.
Heisenberg and Schrodinger are speeding down the highway when a state cop pulls them over. The cop walks up to the window and asks Heisenberg, "Do you know how fast you were going?" Heisenberg replies, "No, but I knew where I was." The cop says, "You were going over 90 miles per hour!" To which Heisenberg replies, "Fine. Now we're lost." Thinking this answer is a little strange, the cop decides to investigate the vehicle. He begins by opening the trunk. Shocked by what he finds, he shouts, "You have a dead cat in here!" Schrodinger answers, "Well I do now!"
MIT, thank you for having courses such as "Quantum Physics" uploaded to YouTube for people to learn. As a person that has autism, it is much easier for me to learn in a relaxing environment where there are little to no distractions, and at the pace I want. Keep up the great work!
As an educator, what I enjoyed most in this presentation was the "buzz" of learning. From the passion and enthusiasm of the lecturer to the engagement of the students, this shows a really awesome lecture. Well done. Very well done.
I'm a 40 year old man, passionate about the understanding of how the universe works and when he said "except you're all wrong" i've got emotional for a moment because it was a kind of illumination giving me an instantaneous sense of awareness to the existence.
Getting that MIT education without life crushing loans
I watched this series 7 years ago before I graduated high school. Since then I have graduated with a degree with one of my majors being physics, including 3 QM courses. Thank you and good luck to everyone else who is here to learn.
I can't stress enough how much I love the fact that MIT is providing those courses online for free for anyone to watch. Who knew, that a 17 year old German law student like me could get his hands on quantum mechanics lectures of MIT ^^
I am glad that we can get these advanced educational courses for pretty much free , a good way to identify the smart people and the ones that were unlucky or simply lost during high school
Took a quantum mechanics course from a desi guru who happens to be among the toppers and I gave up thinking I'm not good enough..this guy made me go over 6 lectures in a week and still hungry to go over again....inspiration is the key to make passionate innovators or scientists or teachers...I wish I had them...good luck to all of you lucky ones who gets to be inspired in early days..inspire your little ones too...
It really strikes me that I've never really had a teacher that's this pumped up just before a lecture. What a great guy!
I went to a very well-known university and in 4 years I only had one professor who was as engaging and passionate about his subject as this guy. Kudos to MIT!
Thank you MIT!! ❤ Love from Hawaii. Lifelong learners around the world appreciate OCW!
Gotta admit. I’m in bed watching stuff to try to dose off (sleepy but can’t sleep), and I figured this should do the trick. I ended up watching the whole lecture and now feel wide awake. More professors need his enthusiasm. I’ve never seen a classroom applaud following the conclusion of a lecture, but this man earned it.
I'm almost as amazed at MIT's complex blackboard system than the quantum superposition of subatomic molecules.
This is how a teacher should be. The content, even if rigorous, was still so engaging. I wish my professors were this passionate about physics.
MIT has the most chill and exciting professors. I’m so happy this is on the internet 😁
