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.
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
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!"
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
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.
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 almost as amazed at MIT's complex blackboard system than the quantum superposition of subatomic molecules.
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!
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
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 ^^
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.
His passion for his job is adorable.
Thank you MIT!! ❤ Love from Hawaii. Lifelong learners around the world appreciate OCW!
