Overwhelmingly Lucid! Reminds me of my Professor of Physics here in India who was as dramatic and articulate in explain Newton’s laws of motion in our classroom, in 1949, as this brilliant Professor explained Einstein.
William Jayaraj when him and Jung had dinner and discussed his idea in connection to father=energy son=mass holy spirits being the limits of using light instead of darc. Maybe the grandfather paradox wouldn't be a paradox
Surely Albert Einstein didn’t go Berlin until 1914 in 1912 he was professor of theoretical physics at his old university in Zurich where his old classmate and who got him a job in patent office also lent Albert hiss lecture notes to enable him to graduate Marcel Grossman who taught him Differential Geometry and Tensor calculus the mathematics behind General Relativity Grossman was Professor of descriptive geometry.
Just a suggestion, I don't know if an atom bomb is the best choice to talk about the energy available from mass, perhaps a less destructive analogy may have been more appropriate? Nonetheless loved the talk, lovely way to engage with non-specialists and children.
@@poek1e Haha you're right, no I haven't, I was commenting on the fly and I've paused the video to type this comment but I don't think a few words of appreciation(like for the concept) or criticism(for that specific bit) requires me to watch the entire talk and then comment on it.
@@pavlosnoulis1712 I literally premised my comment by saying that it's just a suggestion so I wonder how it qualifies as dogmatic fanaticism? and if suggesting that one can replace a display of nuclear destruction with something else makes me a 'pathetic social justice warrior' then so be it, I guess.
Daniel G Good question. So I would go with something more like the energy from that little ball could provide enough electricity to run an entire household for a year which is true, an average American household consumes about 10,766 kWh of electrical energy annually where as if you were you calculate the rest mass energy of a 100gm ball which is 100gm*c^2, it’s much larger than that number, there are other examples too since it’s basically just energy, one could talk about different forms for instance it could provide enough fuel to travel extraordinarily large distances, of course this doesn’t have the same visual impact as an explosion.
