  1. Words can’t express my gratitude to whoever made these courses available to the public for free. Thank you. ❤️

  2. This professor’s handwriting 😍

  3. The Elizur and Weidman: how to have your bomb and eat it too.

  4. Doesn’t this experiment prove that you can create a powerful electromagnet using metal and light? And that you could technically create electricity using laser beams to replace what we know now as generators. Is this the zero emissions energy we’re talking about?

  5. That was such a Jewish story 😂 (Israeli Jew, don’t kill me).

  6. If you’re wondering why the equipment was removed, there are some interesting kgb coverup theories about Chernobyl (douga/soviet woodpecker).

  7. I wasn’t going to say he has radiation poisoning, I was actually going to say it’s definitely covid. 🤷‍♀️ I love how the HBO Chernobyl series explained the accident so well that I understood it instantly. You forgot to talk about the elephant’s foot.

  8. Fascinating and amazing teacher. (I was a bit disappointed to the student’s definition of “science”, I define it by discovering things and learning how they work by putting them through all critical tests as well as making sure your theoretical explanation of them and their processes are 100% factual to the best of your ability, then harnessing that knowledge to create new things and knowledge. At least that’s my attempt to define it. Do “science” not “The Science”).

  9. Superposition: when the sound of that eraser is EVERYWHERE

  10. Wait, how would you differentiate superposition of a particle from the same particle being in two different places with such a tiny time difference that it would be undetectable to the human eye (or even available machinery)?

  11. Does living near a nuclear reactor cause cancer? I don’t know. What I do know is that all it takes for one major accident is a series of bad political decisions that may sometimes be outside of the plant’s domain or control, and if we had one nuclear reactor per X square miles and had one major accident once every 30 years, the half-life of the leaks would deem our earth uninhabitable in several hundred years (gradually, like one of those old area-closing games). It’s never about the smart and responsible people in the room, it’s always about the weakest link in their universe. Also, when I read a scientific paper, I first make sure to learn who wrote it and who commissioned it, then I look at the opposing papers and do the same, then I read both and sleep on them for a while to figure out whose facts make more sense in the real world.

  12. Actually, I think the worst accident in the USA is the salt reactor in California.
