He swings,
He breaks a glass,
He risks his life,
He smokes,
He inhales the smoke,
He demonstrates sunset,
He draws smooth dotted lines,
He makes you laugh,
He leaves in his rocket bike,
.
.
.
But most importantly, His lectures make you ❤ physics...
Really appreciate for all he was done

if I was granted 3 wishes one of them would definitely be that every teacher in the world was even half as great as this man is.
You can’t make wishes on behalf of others it doesn’t work like that.
Genie: there are 4 rules
you may wanna read into why he had his tenure removed for his sexual conduct before you idolise him.
Absolutely. The other one I similarly admire is Prof. Robert Sapolsky for Biology. Anyone for Chemistry and Math? Not to the same caliber as these guys, but I had a wonderful math teacher in school. We had textbooks and there was a proof of the Pythagoras Theorem in it. He showed us three separate proofs of this theorem, showing us that the same problem can be tackled by many very different approaches, and the convergence of the results is one of the beauties of mathematics.
If I wash given 3 wishes i would write my wishes in a piece of paper and then tell him to make everything in this piece of paper come true
99% of his audience already know the workings of a simple pendulum physics. Yet we all watch in awe and excitement. He is a superstar.
Not in USA!!!Only 1 % knows that.

Searched the entire comments for this. But if you are impatient come to 26:55
I come to see the whole video!
Me watching physics broo
thankkkkkk youuuuu ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
59:00 "If u hate physics because you had a bad teacher".....this quotes ❤️❤️❤️😍😍😍😍😍
Me also hate physics
I love physics
This is true
That’s true, I hate physics and it’s all because of my first physics teacher so I won’t touch it 🤧😂
I love physics
Dr.Lewin
I‘m from INDIA，watched your MIT open course about electronic magnetic occasionally，then i realised EM is not bored formula but vivid phenomenon.
Thank you for bring me a new eyes on science。jay bharat
you are welcome
I from India 🇮🇳
Well, I'm also From Bharat (India)
@@lecturesbywalterlewin.they9259 love From Bharat. We love you.
@@lecturesbywalterlewin.they9259yo my boy Lewin I am glad you are doing well in life
If I had found this amazing teacher 5 years ago, I would have been a state level topper in physics.
you can get it don't give up
people come without him also
this is the best way to pass time during a quarantine
Ha
Me too.
Indeed ... 😂
Hahah im also here and amazed will read his book
yup!
3:39 Walter Lewin is such a great teacher that even Professor Snape attends his lecture.
It is amazing! :D
You just made my day😂
Are you his student?! That must be so cooool
Bro xd i also spotted snape reading your comment ;) at 10:49 I was like Lmao
I think that's a woman.
57:31 he treated every lecture as a stage performance; absolute respect for Professor Lewin.
Utterly down to earth and so personable... Would thoroughly enjoy experiencing this particular lecture in person. Thank you Professor Lewin.
Most welcome!
25:25 This is why we came.

Thanks. I won't hit the like button though cuz you begged for it. Now like my comment.

Only a physicist would shout “this really Hertz” while chilling on a pendulum.
LOL!!
You're not the only one to get that!!!! Wow!!! Wish I had teachers like that in high school..
I am ashamed to admit that I didn't get that joke until I read it. I was too focused on the fact that sitting on that little iron ball at 75 years old HAD to really hurt that I wasn't even looking for jokes.
@titlewave sometimes men have to make sacrifices
only a physics lover would understand what exactly you said.. 😂 its almost like that joke of a computer geek shouting "F1" when he was drowning in water.. 🤣
The best lecture I have ever seen. I have recently been facing a lot of difficulties in physics and so my interest for it had gone really low and also because of that my self esteem had become quite low but today I just came across this seven years old lecture and all my love for physics just got a new spark and I am really thankful to this teacher.
8 year passed but it’s still the best physics lecture that made many people fall in love with it!
Love from Bangladesh Dr. ❤
Extremely simple and indulging way of making physics understand. You are very old, but still have so much more energy than us youngsters. Respect to you Sir.
Some are born as old, others will never be. :)
Indian?
one way to show respect to him might be to not say something like "you are very old"
He s not that old
Age is just a number, don't get bounded by it.
I would never sleep in this man's class.
It's MIT. Borderline geniuses don't sleep lol
I have watched this video several times over the years and I am STILL amazed at Walter's enthusiasm for teaching in the video. Today he is 86 I believe. Thanks for your teaching!
It's amazing to see a professor like Lewin who is so passionate about teaching. His enthusiasm is evident in every class, and you can see the student's engagement as a result. This type of dedication is rarely seen in college professors at my college. Unfortunately, most of them don't seem to care about their students or put any effort into preparing or delivering lectures. It's a shame that students have to suffer because of this apathy. I hope that Lewin's example will inspire more professors (teachers as well) to strive to reach his level of commitment to teaching.
19:24 I'm most impressed at how fast he draws the dotted lines. That looks like magic to me.
its a technique search it up u have to hold the chalk in a specific position to the board
My one teacher used to do it and I learned from it
its rly easy if someone tells you the secret
The chalk dotted line technique is pretty neat though I enjoy the math and concepts more. The dotted technique of course adds to the visual as it is a good tool.
I also can do this...
16:54 this really hurts, the limit that a true teacher would go to teach his students 👏
I was struggling with Physics but right here, I bow down to this Man for the love of Physics!!!!
Not only I fall in love with Physics again and again with your splendid lectures, but also I learn the way of thinking! I always had a wish to sit in your lecture for even one time. Thanks millions Professor Lewin, ❤️
Me: hey professor this is my first class I’m-
Professor: 16:37
Me: bye guys
Oh My God
Kwaza Zabolaza PMAO
😂😂
😂😂 can't stop laughing!
Best comment ever!!!
After 9 years... Great lecture. Indeed “Teaching physics in a boring method is a crime”
I always come back to watch his lectures. They are just so inspiring and informative.
This man tought me more about physics through a few videos on youtube, than my choleric school teacher back then did in several years of teaching.
Even more he made me enjoy every single second of it.
Great to hear!
@@lecturesbywalterlewin.they9259 Hello
16:38
Imagine coming to class on your first day and you see your prof doing this out of context.
Lmao😂😂😂
Copied comment lol
our physics teacher (also dutch) taught us this. It's actually quite simple ;)
"i came in like a wrecking ball"
normal prof
Me after watching this video: "Yeah, I took physics at MIT."
I wonder how he does that.
MIT mean?????????
Only iit
Umashankar sing Massachusetts Institute of Technology
@@umashankarsing1132 mit is better than iit
25:48 is what you were looking for
Having a teacher like this would make people want to stay in school rather than not. What a blessing
I thought I would watch this for 5 mins but ended up watching for straight 1 hour 😍
This is how physics must be taught!!
Same bro!!!😍🤩
Same ❣️
Same
Same same same same
sameeeeeee
27:01 thumbnail momment 😍😍
To be able to watch this is an honor and a testament to the real power of the internet. Do not be surprised where the next genius comes from, his works will speak volumes.
I have learnt this approximately 4 times this year in high school, but never have I been so mesmerized with Physics or the Physics teacher as much as I have in my entire life! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I wish I had known about your courses 2 years earlier, I may have been on the path to become a Physicist right now!
Doctor: Do you do any sports Mr. Lewin?
Lewin: Well, it's complicated.
🤣
prof walter's brain has so much knowledge its shaking like hell
a stage of Parkinson's I am sure we know. I had a dentist that retired from same. He saw me 2 times where he had to anchor his hand on the edge of my mouth before powering the drill. I knew.
@@randalltrantham5082 he doesnt have parkinsons, he adressed it in a video in 2017, you can check it out on his channel
😂😂😂
Prof. Lewin deserves to get a Nobel Prize for his outstanding teaching and making millions of people to understand and love physics.
Thank you very much.
I started crying when I have see you were feeling pain during swinging and even could hear your breath. You are super amazing physicist. I am a Prof. in AI. and you are my role model.
I cried so many times, but I SOBBED seeing him take in his final lecture as they gave him a well deserved standing ovation 😭
My first crush was my sciences teacher in high school. I had him for 3/6 of the science classes I signed up for. I sat in the front of the class and got a 100% in all his courses. I fell in love with science and men with big brains because of him. I credit him for steering me to the love of my life, a brilliant Math and English nerd who treats me like a princess (compared to the “hot” guys I dated who treated me like crap). Teachers guide young minds far more than people realize, and my science teacher truly put me on all the right paths in life. Cherish the teachers who truly care as they are a thinning herd.
This is one lecture which you will not get bored no matter how many times you repeat it.
This man is such a good teacher, that he somehow made all of us procrastinators watch an hour long lecture with interest, whereas we can't handle a 30 to 45 minute one from our teachers.
Amazing! I can totally relate to that!
Just prayed that he didn't sneeze while the ball was coming near.
Oh my God yes.
Saabaas 😁 😁
Underrated 🤣
😂😂😂😂👌
🤣🤣
Just stumbled across this video and watched full 1 hour plus minutes and now love physics. Truely teachers make students to love the subject.
15 years+ since the first time I saw Professor Lewin, and he’s still the best teacher I know of.
Absolutely phenomenal.
I hope for somebody to fill his shoes someday, the world needs more teachers like him.
40:03 bros really watching the lecture on his computer while he's already in the lecture
LMAO
i think he's taking the video
Or he wants to hear him carefully
Some people record lectures so they can take notes on it later
He's watching at 1.5x to save time.
“if you don’t know what pi is you might as well leave right now”
class: laughs
the one guy who doesn’t know what pi is: 😶
What is that
What is pi..?
@@lionlookingright3252 22/7 or 3.14
That’s me
I mean, I'd say anyone who's old enough to be in high school should know what pi is.
Not once in my 4 years at uni did I get the privilege of sitting in a lecture hall this full and engaged. Things like this make me want to save up for an MA. A great teacher really does make all the difference. Well done sir!
This is not your last lecture Sir. Physics will always bring us together, as it is today...
Thank you for sharing with us.
The most amazing thing about his lecture is that people from all walks of life have come to attend it, people of all age groups are present there, I wish it was the same here where I'm living
27:03 i got scared for a while when he walked forward i thought the ball will hit him this time
I’ve never seen a teacher or professor get emotional about leaving or retiring… just goes to show you how rare he is and how much he cares about his job.
When you love what you do for a living it really makes your audience enjoy what you have to say.
19:24 THAT'S a skill only MASTERS possess
I wonder how he did this.
They call it parkinson
Or anyone who can HOW TO DRAW DOTTED LINES MIKE BOYD!!!!!!!!!!!!!
mp Its fast forwarded. Your welcome
It is easy, I learned it in like a minute.
Profs like him are a rare gem. I was privileged to have a couple like him back in my university years. Those classes were a joy to attend.
You find it everywhere: exellent.... , car mechanics, nurses, doctors, postmen, engineers....
I'm a physics graduating student ,and i really love this lecture❤My days are incomplete without your lectures
One of the greatest teachers of all time .
"A physicist is just an atom's way of looking at itself." - Neils Bohr
Wowwwww him practicals.
What a professor he is.
I never seen a teacher who teach students like this
Amazing. Love from india 😍😘
Apart from having enormous knowledge....he makes the lecture so simple,interesting & full of practical things....hats off to you sir!
the world needs people like this that try to pass on their knowledge and studies with passion to the a newer generation.
This was my first Lectures in 75 years. And I enjoyed it ! Professor Walter Lewin you got a new Student.
only I had a teacher like him
So nostalgic. In college whenever I would get lost in physics I would turn to professor Lewin’s OCW content. I use his content now teaching highschool physics. Your teaching skills will echo through time Professor!
Right on!
Exactly
i am from india and iam seeing a lecture of walter lewin i greatly love this because he clear concepts practically. he was best teacher
Teachers like these can change the world through inspiration.
Any one after watching physicswallah screen shot🌎
Yes bro😂

Yes
I admire the amount of effort you put into preparing for your lectures. Its very inspiring.
Though I am a student of Chemistry, I really love to watch your lectures and again and again falling in love with physics ❤️
Happy to hear that!
@@lecturesbywalterlewin.they9259 means a lot sir ❤️ I also have your book 'For the love of physics' and Sir you will be happy to know that your book is helping me a lot in my study ☺️..
Take respect and love.. beloved Walter Lewin sir. ❤️❤️
I'm a student of business management and I sit enjoying his lecture with my semester exam tomorrow 😂
Some things just NEVER gets old. The "physics works and I'm still alive" segment is one of them.
Over a few decades I have been in love with physics but this lecture makes me love it more!
Great to hear!
You are right. Same here.
@@lecturesbywalterlewin.they9259 I really wish to meet you once in my life, I'll be blessed to learn physics in your presence Sir... You've always intrigued me to know physics more n more.... N ultimately I'm in Love with Physics ❤️😍
Thanks UA-cam for introducing him to me I've completed my engineering. I lost the love for physics after 10th standard because i had to mug up all the concept and formula for the JEE and since then i started hated physics but UA-cam has recommended me this and i watched whole video (i thought i would watch it only for 5 min but ended up watching whole 61min) and this man has revived my love for physics thank you professor.
Thank you @lectures by Walter Lewin
You mugged up formulas and cleared JEE Advance?
As far as i know, that's not really possible.
@@swapnilgarg6695 that is only the psbl way bro
Have you appeared for JEE in india??
Congrats
This is the only lecture which needed us to explaining and teaching other whom are weak in physics, thanks a lot from India Mr. Lewin
What a wonderful teacher 🥺 Dear sir, I have never seen or never experienced a physics lecturer like this. Wish to see you and learn from you in real. Thank you so much dear sir.
Lots of love from Sri Lanka 🇱🇰❤️
So nice of you
damn true😭✨♥
this is the most exciting physics lecture i'v ever seen
thank you professor for making people fall in love with physics
Wow, thank you!

46:00 he's going: "damn. all these people, amazed by such simple physics smh"
Bruh its not physics but the context that matters
also: parkinsons
Not Parkinson or surprise ; it's his last lecture man ; 800 apparently . That's such an emotional moment
there not amazed at the physics or amazed at all there wishing him goodbye and praising him for his work.

Thank you for bring me a new eyes on science。
Wishing you good health
I wish we had such professional and talented professers like that in my university
I figured out that he is a superior teacher when he did that dotting thing with chalk. 19:40
:)
How did he do that ?
@@unjeunearabe this technique is known to only maths and physics professors
@@unjeunearabe you have to angle the chalk a certain way, anyone can do it
@@cm221b Nope it's easy, i can do that.
Hello Professor. I started watching your 8.01 lectures a few weeks ago. More than half way done. I am a BSEE graduate, however am learning physics like I have never before. You have done an amazing job and to be very honest, are the best physics professor that I have ever seen. Thank you!
It's a blessing to have access to all your lectures for free
I use to think that physics doesn't apply to everyday life but guess what after this lecture I can feel [OR] see physics
It's the feeling that never happened to me in my 2 years of physic learning
THANK YOU SIR FOR THIS LECTURE❤️
THIS LECTURE IS REALLY USEFUL TO STUDY WORKING OF PENDULUM

Pi is the fraction amount of when the length of the diameter of a circle is enwrapped to the circumference of the circle; hence, the circumference formula of a circle circumference is 2πr, or πd. r bring the radius and d being the diameter.

I almost cried when he explained how he prepares for a lecture.
Every word will be less if we are needed to say how much we respect this great teacher.
Sir Walter Lewin i have been in love with physics since a very long time and today for the very first time I saw a proper lecture of yours and i assure you that it was the best physics lecture I've ever seen i felt myself from the audience i saw everything I'm truely in love with your style of teaching everything was awesome and so was your teaching style you made concepts clear and you also use a very simple language you are a living genius we love you and atlast love from India sir we respect you a lot :)
It's my pleasure
Sir i am 17 now ...and became fan of you and student of your lecture ❤
Love from India ( Karnataka, Mysuru).
lol
“Ask a question”
“How do you draw dotted lines on blackboard. ”
Ps sir also do that ...
He says by picking the chalk lightly by back and start but it is time taking process
57:21 LOL, look at that man in green t shirt. look at his reaction after the professor said "it's a very good question"
😂😂#proud feeling
No words for appreciating your efforts.. 🙏🏻🙌🏻❣️
i watched this lecture and a couple of others lectures by walter lewin with my daughter about 7-8 years ago when she was a student in a high school and today she sent me a pic with her diploma a master degree in physics.
thank you sir.
I´m really happy for her man! You are a good father! Congrats to her! 👏👍
I WISH EVERY TEACHER OF PHYSICS IS LIKE HIM.
16:37 Miley Cyrus would definitely appreciate this Physics class

What a man! I dreamt of studying with these kinds of professors in MIT. Salute..!❤
Although I know little to nothing about physics (it won't really be a part of my career), I find these lectures very interesting and fun. And I do learn something. Good job man.
I’ve been recommended this again.
I’m not disappointed
26:57 It may have hit him because he opened his mouth afterwards. Thank Friction
Good observation 👍
Bro are you from india.
Haha. It may have !
You mean viscosity.
To my dearest Walter sir you are a gem i am preparing for jee and such things I haven't experienced in real life. Thank You much sir May you get a good health ahead and live a long life . Love you sir ❤️❤️
He is not just a physicist but "a Poetic physicist". 🧠🌹
This lecture is brilliantly delivered. The series of lectures is very useful for my course and allows Physics to become accessible on topics that were bewildering to me when I first met them. Thank you so much Prof. Lewin!
"physics works, and i'm still alive"
And here I am stumbling randomly upon this video, not expecting to watch the whole one hour and 1½ minute, now I sit here having watched every single second of it, and I absolutely loved it.
