Physics on Khan Academy: Physics is the study of the basic principles that govern the physical world around us. We'll start by looking at motion itself. Then, we'll learn about forces, momentum, energy, and other concepts in lots of different physical situations. To get the most out of physics, you'll need a solid understanding of algebra and a basic understanding of trigonometry.
About Khan Academy: Khan Academy offers practice exercises, instructional videos, and a personalized learning dashboard that empower learners to study at their own pace in and outside of the classroom. We tackle math, science, computer programming, history, art history, economics, and more. Our math missions guide learners from kindergarten to calculus using state-of-the-art, adaptive technology that identifies strengths and learning gaps. We've also partnered with institutions like NASA, The Museum of Modern Art, The California Academy of Sciences, and MIT to offer specialized content.

    It's because he's the man. You Tube should give more support to Sal for everything he has done to bring education to the world. I hope he wins the Nobel Peace Prize for bringing education to everyone.

    Indeed, public educators bring massive impact to students all around the globe than the private school teachers! But if not trusted, misinformation could spread equally as much since their credentials are often unknown.

    what I think he means is that the experiment itself is done on a planet or something with a strong enough gravitational attraction but it's just that the top of the piston is in a vacuum so that there are no outside pressure (from the surrounding molecules of gas outside) that pushes the piston down.

    At 6:42 Sal says that the microstates are changing every gazilionth of a second. Just out of curiosity, would you say that the position and momentum of a gas atom or molecule changes in the range of a macro, nano, or picosecond?

    I still don't understand what the difference is, he only gave us the concept not the method of how we use and find Microstates and Macrostates. I just wanna know what the formula is when it comes to probability and Big omega formulas.

    but if the rock is in space how does the rock have weight to push down the piston ?

    Wow, I didn't think to ask that question. Einsteins theory of relativity would suggest that the rock and gas cylinder curve their local spacetime to create a gravity-like sensation. I doubt he wanted to invoke that logic so I'd redefine his experiment as follows: conduct said experiment in a vacuum ON EARTH where the rock has weight. 7 years too late, but I hope this helps. :)

    You are correct for the most part except for a minor detail. Not all objects in space are weightless, but only in a special case they can be. An object's weight = net gravitational forces it experience from all the mass in the universe. Hence the force inversely proportional to the square of the separation distance, masses at great distances contribute less to the net force, thus an approximation can be made using the closest mass.
