I thought about your process, yet being very far removed, not sure I understood it correctly. But I think it may be related to you being more of a midwife, mentor, rather than sculptor/cookie cutter? Not sure the AI tools you mentioned can handle it well, for the best models today, Claude 3.5, hallucinates like crazy, operating it is more like playing a musical instrument. But have you tried RU-vid-guided curriculum? I've been fascinated with RU-vid enormously, I mean, I'm in love with it as an educational tool. I envy the kids of today so much, because they have RU-vid. When I was a kid, I had a couple books on combinatorics, physics, programming, but when I tried to read them, it just didn't work. I thought that it worked for some other kids, but later turned out it didn't do it very well for them too, they passed the tests, but I wanted to know the answers to questions like "so what IS fire? how do we know it? why do we have this formula and not some other?" I was lucky to have access to some interactive CDs and books, like "The way things work", and it made it so much clearer. But the true breakthroughs came when I got an Internet connection, and was able to read the original words of the authors of the ideas, to see videos of the actual experiments. And in the past 10 years, it's like there's been an explosion of educational videos of such incredible caliber. I've been able to answer a myriad of my questions, sometimes because a person would address one of my "yea, but.." questions directly, and other times because, well, there's a literal video of a transparent internal combustion engine showing all phases, with slow motion carburator action. There's a video of PCB making process, right from the factory in China, showing every single layer. There are videos of BRILLIANT engineers like AlphaPhoenix, who make electricity visible, tangible, visceral. There's "How To Make Everything", who makes iron weapons from the rocks breaking step all the way. There are metallurgy microscopes, computer chip cuts electron microsope views. There's a video from Huygens Optics, measuring the size of a photon, which undid the damage my physics class incurred with the stupid imitation of "theory of light" at school. I mean, I'm an engineer, but I've also watched step by step timelapses of chrysalis transformation, Victorian fashion, stone age weapon making, song composing theory. And each topic is told by the best, most passionate, most incredibly talented expert in the field, with nothing standing between them and you, not politics, not distance, not time (Feynman, watch his videos). The value of this educational tool, is probably the biggest gift humanity has ever experienced. The limitations are moved so close to the left, the bottleneck being just the child's abilities and intrinsic curiosity, that I have no doubt we're going to witness the greatest ever changes in human creativity and ingenuity in the next couple decades, simply because the few kids who are capable biologically, will have all barriers removed and given all information necessary to fully develop their potential.
Jon - you're such a superstar... always putting the needs of your students in the front of what you are doing; no matter what it takes. Thanks for being such a leader for teachers and especially students!!
Why would C have the brightest? You don't really explain why this would be the case. I would think that A would have the brightest since it is the earliest in the splitting of the current and so should therefore have the largest current if it was split evenly.
Concerned about the tolerances and thickness yet you didn't bother to measure with a micrometer. Weighing it would give us more valuable info than stopping the wheel in the stand. This seems like an inexperienced and uneducated example of product promotion.
I have prelim exams tomorrow and my girlfriend says "study well". Me trying to be funny, searched all about wells, and this video came up now im so interested
I don't think you have the piston in correctly, because it seems to bounce when you open it. If it's in place correctly, the piston should allow it to come down softly. Everything else worked like a charm though. Thank you
Yeah I originally pulled that top clip for the piston but reassembly is a pain, might not be possible. I pulled the piston off the bottom clip then replaced the top clip and then you can freely attach the bottom clip. A pair of needle nose helps.
Hey, I love your work!! Im 40 yrs old, and I've always been interested in physics. The thing is, nobody else wants to discuss it. Your videos are easy to digest, and are VERY INFORMATIVE! Keep up the good work!! Ignorance is NOT bliss for the ppl who have to DEAL W IT!!
With due respect sir how do you explain the rubber band theory of space curvature where we see one of the balls eventually falls towards the heavier ball doesn't that mean that moon is eventually while circling earth gonna eventually fall towards earth?
I’m still loving the light. It is definitely my go to light. Long battery, bright, and the beam pattern is just the right light in the right places. Do you have a link to the replacement mounts
Question. More often now doing presentations on televisions. The traditional laser pointer doesn't work. Would this then work on a television to do the spotlight or laser feature? It's software I assume and not actually beaming
i remember that one experiment where one ball orbiting another ball then crashes to the center, search for this vid and i remember that space doesn't have resistance like the fabric that is used just like what this vid says, nice.
Is light mass? I keep coming back with the same answer heat, and keep being attracted to cold and in that there's a magnetic spectrum. I think all these little things add up and I don't think the fabric does
One phenomenon experienced when descending a deep mine shaft is that the deeper you go, the hotter it gets. This also applies to oceanic crust. Oceanic rift zones extend over a length of some 40,000 miles (~60,000 km) and host a guesstimated 2-3 million volcanic vents, black smokers and methane seeps. The sun is not the only agency responsible for heating water and driving the thermo-haline conveyor belt.
Thank you for the explanation: The solver is nsolve. That means, it usually stops at the first solution. To get another solution, you must get another range. The first guess was 1 and the solution was 0.721..., so the second guess I set to -1 and got -0.479. So the equation has 2 zero points. Another way is to graph the function to receive a hint for the solutions
Hi John. My Bontragger Charge came with the rear magnetic light mount already attached. I have not been able to detach it with medium muscle - don't want to break the plastic clip. Suggestion? Thanks.
As a student, I do sometimes use ChatGPT to jumpstart my thinking for an essay. But I never copy and paste what it says. It just helps me come up with my own ideas. What’s the big deal?
I think that is a totally appropriate use of AI. I would though disclose to your teacher that you used chatgpt to help you brainstorm. Copy and paste your chat to show you are using as a tool instead of as a crutch.
