Do love Ed. Such a phenomenally lovely and modest guy. In this video alone he casually refers to multiple significant papers he's collaborated on without one shred of self-importance. Just wanted to talk about how great his friend was.
Great minds are immortal in the works they leave behind.
Throughout history there's been a lot of great minds that arguably should have received a nobel prize, but didn't. And personally i think Richard Feynman put it nicely:
"I don't see that it makes any point that someone in the Swedish Academy decides that this work is noble enough to receive a prize. I've already got the prize. The prize is the pleasure of finding the thing out, the kick in the discovery, the observation that other people use it. Those are the real things. The honors are unreal to me. "
Also Feynman's own words (from the speech as he ACCEPTED the prize):
"And so, you Swedish people, with your honors, and your trumpets, and your king - forgive me. For I understand at last - such things provide entrance to the heart. Used by a wise and peaceful people they can generate good feeling, even love, among men, even in lands far beyond your own. For that lesson, I thank you."
TL:DR: I didn't need the prize but thanks anyways, Oh btw Swedes are pretty cool."
LOL! DISESTABLISHMENTARIANS BTFO
Not without honor.
What sort of maniac chooses a username such as yours?
Is it just me or does Sir Kibble look a lot like Prof Copeland in these old photographs? o.O
I noticed that too
Ed invents time travel in the future confirmed
Yeah they have to be related somehow!
It's a small island
It's not that small.
Sir Tom taught me Quantum Mechanics. Truly one of the finest men in the field - a man of wonderful insight.
I love professor Ed. He’s my favorite 60 Symbol videos to go to sleep to. Not because he is boring, but because his tone is so soothing, while speaking about things well above my head.
Damn he was the DiCaprio of Nobel prizes
so sad..
I´ve never heard of him, but after this, i miss him. :D
He was the head of the theoretical physics group there during my time in theoretical physics there. His office and that of Abdus Salam, David Olive, Chris Isham were next to our shared offices (postgraduates). Salam was rarely there but you could always drop in to their offices.
I took his General Relativity and as well Cosmology and the Early Universe postgraduate courses. Also topological tefects.... cosmic strings were his idea and quite big around 1990.
He used to through his lectures at the speed of light... write down equations super fast without much pause.
Interestingly, at a drinks evening I asked him if he had any memories of India, and all he kept saying was how it's changed. "So many people there now than used to be."
What a lovely anecdote.
He sounds like the sort of teacher we all need
You find Higgs to find the Boson. You found the Boson and now you cant find Higgs. I love it!
He was my head of department when I was doing my degree. Top bloke.
"Don't write in yellow"
Not even when it's been snowing? :(
Or as my father says: 'don't eat yellow snow'
watch out where the huskies go
and don't you eat that yellow snow!
Right about that time, people . . .
Maybe I missed the reference to something on British TV, but this old Southern "Yank" has no idea what the allusion is in the title. I thought it would be mentioned in the video, but there was not one word about writing in yellow, other than the title. Does it refer to writing in yellow ink on white paper? Or to writing in yellow paint over a black surface? The latter is the most easily visible color combination to the human eye (hence its use on traffic signs, crime tape, high visibility clothing, etc.). Awaiting someone's enlightenment on this subject.
As for the scientist, it is a shame he never won even a shared Nobel prize, but as he said, the prize in science is the accomplishment itself, while the prize, if it ever comes, is an extra bonus. I would imagine anyone who enters a scientific field with the GOAL of winning a Nobel would not be motivated to do the level of work that would win one, because such a person would be thinking about the prize rather than the subject.
Thanks for introducing us to this beautiful human being. Made me tear up
This was really heartwarming and lovely, I wish I could have met the guy.
I love Sixty Symbols for videos like this one.Thanks,Brady.
Whooo Ed.. always enjoy a video with Proff Copeland :D
"There is a little story might be worth telling you about" ... indeed, sir ... thank you for sharing - for being so mellow about the yellow, you might say.
I love these stories, It always gives me a big smile
I attended his classical mechanics lectures at Imperial in the 70s.
Nice touch to put all the text in yellow in this video.
thank you for introducing me to this man.
I feel embarrassed that I hadn't heard of him as a big fan of layman level science and physics in particular.
I absolutely love professor Copeland he's awesome & just so so so nice & modest & kind looking & passionate for his subject..
It is easy to see when Professor Copeland talks about a subject dear to him. It is hard for him to keep the smile of his face.
He was such a nice human being. I never heard him speak and then he died on my birthday :(
I study maths at imperial, so I'm pretty close to the Physics department and just, wow... It's always amazing to know that there are people like this who work only a few buildings away from where I study
Always wonderful talks! Thank you!
Ed Copeland, I have a surprise for you. Tom Kibble is your father.
Lol
That last part makes me think Grey would like him. No idle chitchat.
Now I wish I could have witnessed the two meet...
That is a clever profile picture...
Great video ! Thank you again, Brady, Ed, and everyone involved in this channel ! :)
What an incredible man.
Wow what a lovely human, as Ed drscribed him 😢 surely we should all aspire to be like him, and you can tell he had a huge impact on Ed! He's such a sweet humble bag of amazing knowledge whom I love listening to!
Nice touch, adding all the captions in yellow.
It would have been great in the transparency era, if someone had invented a black transparency sheet where you could write in yellow and people could still see it.
Ed is such a humble , knowledgeable and kind man. Great to see his videos.
Glad to see another video with Ed. Such a cool guy :)
This Kibble fellow ain't half bad either ;)
Thank you Mr. Haran and Mr. Copeland. I hadn't heard of Mr. Kibble before, so thank you for filling this gaping hole in my general knowledge :)
I studied one of his research papers. Truly brilliant.
What a great story to remember.
This was heartwarming.Thank you!
So so cool, what an amazing man and an great story. I would love to meet him, even though I'm less of a scientist than any beginner would even consider themselves
I just started to study classical mechanics with Kibbles book, so amazing to know a bit about the professors as well. 😅
what a lovely anecdote :)
he sounds great as a person
Love u Ed for the honest disclosure... amazing 👍🏼
Met Tom in Imperial in 1990..a nice guy and Ray Rivers taught me QFT..as best he could!
Also agree that this talk makes the point that the results of what has been passed on to the next baton holder is what counts. Excellent.
Sir Tom "Darth Vader" Kibble:
Heavy breathing ......
Ed, I am your Father,
Heavy breathing ......
quantitatively speaking of course!
Time to petition IUPAC for a new element name "Kibblium."
The story with the yellow reference starts at 8:21
Yaaay!! New Symbols!
I got hardly clickbaited into this one... 100% worth it to know that such a beautiful mind past humanity!
I just love listening to Professor Copeland
Great stories, thanks for sharing! :)
The yellow at the end...nice meme.
I couldnt read it. what does it say?
All the text throughout the video is yellow
Well, he certainly didn't *write* in yellow.
Josh LZK
True. But I admit that I was waiting for that specifically to happen.
Writing in white does work ... if you have a dark background, BUT it is awful for webpages, because your eyes are strained much more. As one guy at the university told us - when talking about "inverting light on a TEM image": "Three people in an empty theatre are easier to spot than three empty seats in a full theatre."
"That guy" who sat quietly in the back of the class. lol
I didn't know this guy, but now I have only respect for him ...
🙏
What happened to this video audio quality?
Too much yellow is what happened!
DukeP00L Duke pool?
Always wondering why these high-energy guys so often 'forget' that the Higgs mechanism originated from condensed matter physics where it is called Anderson-Higgs mechanism...
What a wonderful gift to humanity is science!
We stand on the shoulders of giants who went before us ever reaching for knowledge and truth so that we can know what was unknown, and leave that knowledge forever to those generations still to come. I wish our society cherished that far more than it currently does.
I just think it's wonderful that if 2 men choose to collaborate together they can openly and without fear of discrimination. I hope it wasn't the reason he didn't get a Nobel Prize though.
Ed is an absolute boss in that photo at 7:44
"Get chance and luck!" - T.K.
Having worked for a very small company whose one service of many was to handle mass mailings to get a USPS discount, the USPS calls this "print contrast ratio," or the fact that yellow on white shows up to the eye (or scanning equipment for that matter) very poorly.
The world of science as it should be.
It is probably naive from my side but i gives me hope that not all are gone /have to go mad.
Pity i did not have enough to go this way.
I actually laughed when I say the ending credits.
Happy Independence Day UK!
Hah, this was their worst decision... Mainly 45+ Yr. old people with low income voted for this idiotic Brexit
+lordhelmchen100 yeah, rip EU, we are going to miss it
+lordhelmchen100 the same people who voted for the eu back in the days
*****
enjoy your brexit but then be coherent and don't negociate any agreement with the eu, this useless institution, and negociate only bilateral treaties with each and every country you want to have trade or research partnership. It's too easy to say I am out, but I want to enjoy the facilities of a single market or unified research framework...
23rd June should become a national holiday
Just pointing out to whoever makes the subtitles, formalism =/= formulas.
Brady! You just _had_ to write in yellow, didn't you. Naughty you :)
"Turns out the delay [for the Nobel announcement] was they were trying to find Higgs." Cutting it a little close with the research, LHC!
All your captions are in yellow. I chuckled.
What is going on at 3:09? It looks like three projectors are projecting circular experimental results on a white table. The projections are then aligned. My guess is that the projections are the result of some sort of diffraction experiment. This is a sort of optical computing. Any citation?
A minute of silence to all these brilliant people that deserved fame for their contributions but never got it. Thank you!
Don't eat the Yellow Snow, because it's where the Reindeer go... :o
Always ear yellow snow, it could be beer.
+Christian Skou Johannsen it might be beer that's already been drunk
Drunks are the skunks that drink the yellow snow
the huskies, the huskies.
And yet the song of yellow still flowed.
Why even have yellow ohp pens then?
Irrelevant to the subject of this video, but is there any relation between Ed Copeland and Stewart (or is it "Stuart"?) Copeland of The Police?
I need more Ed!
I love ed so much!
hahaha loved the yellow ending!!!!
title: dont write in yellow
video: yellow, yellow
hey, YYEELLLLOOWW!!!!!!
In lieu of a Nobel, physicists could give him an honorary inside joke: the next time a physics presentation is made on Sir Kibble's birthday, add a subtle yellow decoration somewhere on the first slide.
Thank you for sharing
I'm amused at all the yellow text at the end.
THANK YOU Professor ^^
Physics was my favourite subject and my physics teacher at Heathland School, Hounslow in 1970s was called Mr Kibble.(don't know first name)
Wonder if any connection?
Nice talk but can the audio levels be fixed. Quiet one moment and booming the next
yo 6:55 better call saul
Was just watching a lecture on particle physics and astrophysics with yellow comic sans on a blue background. Ironic.
Nice yellow text & logo at the end!
what's with the breathy sounds in the audio?
Christ, get that man a Nobel prize.
great video
how hard is't to become a professor at Nottingham like ed cooperland?
If you're intelligent, it just takes time and effort and the money to pay for university.
To win a noble prize you have to be both a great scientist and a great self-marketer.
What's with the weird sound at 6:09? Sounds like someone screaming.
Sounds like a sneeze.
special homage in yellow
Sadly, men and women like this are not being replaced as fast as they are now leaving us. The early to mid 1900's produced the some of the greatest minds of modern day.....while we have many now. I feel the depth and breadth of knowledge they hold, pales in comparison.
Nobody said anything about IQ; IQ doesn't mean anything. I don't see any relativity theory or Quantum Mechanics or mathematical logic or computability theory or scientific developments comparable to these being developed now or any other period in history.
The One Thanks for the advice; will do.
haha youtube people.
I try to do the same thing . . . just to show there's at leats ONE voice of reason on youtube . . .
I'll get back to you later to tell you if it works . . .
+The One Exactly. Brian Streufert is just pining over a strawman for attention.
Brady, are you planning a video of everyone at sixty symbols discussing the scientific funding impact of the EU vote?
is this john green at 7:45
Is that Abdus Salam on the right at 1:01 ?
You should probably right in blue. Psychology says that should make people more likely to believe what you've written. xD It's also quite dark and legible.
