This guy fucking loves what he knows, and he wants you to love it too, which is incredibly refreshing.
Prof Adams is a great Lecturer! Very enthusiastic, very knowledgeable, with a sense of humor.
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!"
Getting that MIT education without life crushing loans
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!
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.
I'm almost as amazed at MIT's complex blackboard system than the quantum superposition of subatomic molecules.
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 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 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.
32:56 "The miracle is not that electrons behave oddly. The miracle ist that when you take 10^27 electrons, they behave like cheese."
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!
Damn these students are lucky to have such a passionate professor
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
His passion for his job is adorable.
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.
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...
That one student at 51:00 who went against the whole class vote for 50/50 had to feel immortal
