Dear cherished Prof. Lewin, this very honest comment of yours tell me, that you belong to us, all of us, hungry for learning what's around. A personal note: I watched your lesson, in which you gave a grain of sand to a student. After that I took paper and pencil to calculate 'uncertainty'. The very first time I did it. It gave me the courage to calculate the range we have to control nuclear power plants - and to learn that this can be understood by almost everyone. Yes, I do believe - we can. Doubts are made for let us burn, as learners, as teachers, which is the same thing.

@Electronification Firstly, it's a fucking joke. Secondly, that's a big fat no - the difference is that a degree demonstrates your ability to apply your learning. It indicates that you've been taught using an established and proven pedagogic method. It indicates that you have benefitted from peer review and peer learning. It means that you have been taught by academics who have also gone through the peer review process and have emerged in a competitive market as some of the best people to teach you. It requires you to produce assessed outputs in the form of papers, assignments, exams, all of which ensure your learning is embedded. It indicates that your learning has been structured in an effective way, building upon foundational knowledge. If you're trying to make a somewhat clumsy point about self-directed learning being as valuable as directed learning, then I agree with that, but don't make the ridiculous suggestion that there are not other tangible and intangible benefits delivered through formal education. It is right and important that learning is delivered to accepted standards, and that's what a degree demonstrates. Perhaps you are one of those people who "study" for 12+ hours a day by literally just reading and annotating books? That is not learning, that is memorisation. Your overly simplistic view shows me that you don't really have a clue about education, probably because you are lacking some yourself. Now, get back to Pornhub ;)

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!"

Allan Adams is a fantastic lecturer - he has a real gift for teaching. This is BY FAR the clearest presentation of quantum mechanics you will find on the internet. Wonderfully coherent - thanks MIT.

Boy oh boy if I had a professor of this class back in my university times here in Finland. Now at the age of 36 I thought that I'm getting stupid and old engineer when I tried to wrap my head around quantum physics, but it seems that reading literature isn't just enough if you don't have great professors like Adams to guide you through the basic concept of something complete new.

39 year old physics major in Quantum now. 100% agree.

The most nourishing bit of information in this lecture is at the very end. Our intuition is formed from experience in the macroscopic world, which is totally different from the microscopic quantum world. This explains our frustration with counter intuitive results when trying to understand quantum experiments, since our intuition is not adapted to the quantum domain. Its like learning a new language. Thank you MIT for sharing.

I dropped out of high school, never graduated college, and was able to follow this lecture and understand the explanation. Such an interesting lecturer with a tremendous ability to translate complicated theory into lamens terms. I'm an idiot but I really appreciated his approach to explain something in terms that I could understand. I wish I was as smart as all the people he teaches.

MIT, thank you so much for releasing these material on the internet. I'm a brazillian chemistry student and we have a big lack of good material to study around here. We need to spend a giant amount of money for a good book, and theese video classes really help me to improve my knowledge and i'm certain that it helps a bounch of others students that can't get a good material to study so easily.

OMG! I have never seen such a passionate and amazing teacher. I had a constant smile throughout and some good laughs during the lecture. Professor Allan Adams, you rock. Every student deserves a teacher like you. That's how to create curiosity and thrill for the subject among students.

Sadly, a lot of students who DO have professors like him still don't come out with "curiosity and thrill for the subject" because they're just incredibly lazy lol.

I just spent a whole minute yelling at my dog because I thought he was crying and I didn’t know what he wanted. Until I realized it was this video.

9:40 is where the actual lecture starts, for those who want to skip through the part where he's going over logistics for the students in the actual class.

Thank you MIT, I'm 14 and I'm really fascinated about this, although I may not understand some of it, thank you for making these lectures public for all to learn.

The enthusiasm of students with the questions is an indicative of the quality and theoretical bases of the conjunct of students present in the class.

I watch these videos sometimes just to see what the professor is like. I'm trying to get my undergrad degree in a less than stellar school where one of the most difficult things is simply dealing with the professors. These videos help me keep working hard to get into grad school elsewhere without feeling like I'm going to be trapped with awful professors for the rest of my life

Allan Adams is a great professor. As a business student w no interest in physics, i am chocked to find myself passionately watching this video. The way in which he engages students is indeed a talent.

This presentation style contrasted to my state university experience where almost every chemistry course started with an adversarial rant about us all being a waste of the professor time is incredible to me. I would have paid 4x more to be taught by people who believed i loved learning, but was ignorant. Love of a subject is infectious to even mildly interested listeners.

The professors simply told you the truth. Almost all of you were a waste of your professor's time. They hate teaching because they know that in twenty years of teaching they will teach exactly one student who will take over their jobs. That's a fact. If you didn't realize that the first day you sat in a science lecture hall, then you were guaranteed NOT the guy who would replace that professor twenty years down the road. ;-)

Absolute means "to the utmost extent." and legend's first definition for the NOUN category is "An unverified story handed down from earlier times, especially one popularly believed to be historical." It also means "One that inspires legends or achieves legendary fame." ...which refers back to the first (n) definition, indicating someone who is popular enough to be believed as though it were true unverified story. Thanks, Gonk! :)

Thus prof reminds me of my physics teacher and even tho we are a high school mechanics class, he treats it like an college class and is an amazing teacher. I sit right in front of him and he always makes the effort to engage with his students. Hardest class I have but I don’t regret it one bit.

Thank you for making this available! It's a fascinating topic, and while I'm an engineer I definitely approach QM from a philosophical perspective. I love the energy that Professor Adams conveys during the lecture.

This is really awesome what MIT is doing, especially for those who already completed school or who are currently working full time jobs with an interest in studying QM. Thank you so much! :D

That was a great intro lecture, he make students think and have fun and introduse the idea of superposition so naturaly.

When I was an engineering student not once did we applaud a lecturer like that, but we never got such a clear and engaging presentation either.

This professor is incredible. I am pr:eparing for taking quantum in the future and this class eased some of my fears. I am sure it won't be trivial, but if my prof is half the teacher you are I should be fine

Never seen such a cool professor, he teaches like a friend

I do wish my Quantum Mechanics lectures had been like this. Its a blast learning all over again but with the added enthusiasm.

Holy Shit!! Season 4 is finally out!!! I've honestly been waiting for 5 years for this lecture series. Bah I think I need to go back and watch all the previous Seasons to familiarise myself with the plot again. Thanks MIT!

Thanks a lot Sir I will be highly grateful for you and your all team members...🙏 ..love from INDIA

This is how teachers should teach. Make education fun. I’m no physics major but this professor makes it interesting to want to learn it.

Man I wish I had teachers this passionate about physics and teaching like Prof. Adams.

you are doing a great service making these available

Dude im basically a house pet when it comes to academics but Dr.Adams' enthusiasm made me watch 3 hours so far. Thanks to MIT for making this available to us lower common denominators!

Prof. Allan, stumbled on his video lectures. Looking to test my capacity. His lectures are smooth, easy to understand. Then found open courseware. Prof. Allen's teaching is a diverse style which is needed much. Thank you for dedication to reach many that want to learn.

26:50 When he said "This should hurt. This should feel wrong. But it's a property of the real world and our job is gonna be to deal with it." I really felt that.

This is the breakthrough in Science, this course and lecture and Professor make MIT the ideal undergraduate top School to attend.

Man he is an incredible teacher!!
