Thoroughly enjoyed the enthusiasm of both JSM and the audience. JSM was such an inspiration to many Australians, young and old, including myself, during the 60's and 70's with his TV series "Why is it so". I was privileged to work with him at a Jesuit Secondary College in Adelaide, Australia, in the late 80's. Sadly his tenure was cut short due to the onset of what would be a terminal illness and he returned to California. Such was his dedication, he donated his body to science. So glad the current generations see Physical Science in action. Others took up where JSM left off. Another American by the name of Hewitt created a similar buzz in Physics presentation. Australian schools utilised his text book for Year 11-12 students, "Conceptual Physics". Hope this teaching strategy makes a come back soon! We need to inspire the next generation of science graduates.
I am have studied the work of both Miller and Hewitt and I make good use of both in my Physics classes today. Miller left his collection to the Air Force Academy and I have spent time there going through his things. That's how I got this footage to post.
I could not agree more. I spent a few days going through his collection of stuff at the Air Force Academy a few years ago. I came across a packet of letter. It was his copies of what he wrote to Einstein and Einstein's replies. They two switched back and forth between English and German as if it were one language. Mostly they talked about how to stop the Arms Race.
We don't see the likes of this kind of man anymore. I love old timers and sad to see them go away. I was fortunate to know old men of his era and miss them very much.
A master of practical physics demonstrations! I have been demonstrating physics for my whole working career and can only wonder at his brilliance in engagement and communication. A real pleasure to watch!
I was intending to save this for later but ended up watching the whole show. The professor was not only brilliant but also very witty. He also left a lot of questions for self discovery. Many are answered in his books. He seems to have a temperament intrinsic to many Jewish. His speech was somewhat halting and thoughtful due to his desire to convey the most accurate information. He taught physics to children, adults, and scientists. One of a kind. 🗺️

I use to watch him on TV when I was a kid back in the late 60's. He was so much fun to watch plus I would learn something. I would sit there with my Mum, which was also a wonderful thing for me. However, I have never seen this talk, so thank you for sharing this.
Impressive orator and physics demonstrator. JSM was my first science teacher through his Australian ABC “Why is it so?” programs in the 60’s. Leaning from him well before highschool about light, heat, mechanics and a love for science and the beauty of mathematics to describe Nature. “Always with a capital N” as he was want to say.
At 11:30 pm i thought I'll check out this guy Julius Sumner Miller before i go to sleep, Now just realising it's 4:30 am lol, wodda intelligent and funny person whome I've learnt a lot from in these few early hours of the morning. A Greatfull Aussie.
I believe i found Julius in 2019 or early 2020 - I understood the concepts very well and eagerly devoured his videos. thank you for helping to keep his teachings available. Matthew Bryant is another channel here who shares Julius' videos. Very grateful to you both as I lost all of his vids when they deleted his channel.
You are most welcome. Thank you for letting me know. Yes, Donna Madsen is very protective of her work making the short videos. She gave copies to me but made me promise that I would not post them to the internet. The Air Force academy did not make such a request.

It must have been fabulous to have him as a teacher, when i asked science teachers some of the questions he raised in my mind the responce was either i dont know or were not understandable due to the over complicating the explanation. hence never did well in high school.
he may be dead and i was pre dead when he filmed this..... it is an honor to time travel into the past for such an interesting demonstration. The interaction w the crowds emotions and intelect is astonising to me as someone who went to and threw college w out ever feeling this in a single lecture. the crowds roar left me feeling like the crowd was misplaced like a modern day ufc fight... My grandfather was in the air force and was likely to have seen a few of these demonstrations. funny enough looking back he was a wonderful teacher and i always wondered why such a brilliant mathmatician choose to educate the young minds of high schoolers. then i saw this. RIP gramps and mr sumner.
I did! El Camino College, Torrance, Ca. About 1974, our Physics teacher got ill and her friend Julius substituted the rest of the semester. Best Instructor I ever had.

@@biranchikumarjena8257 I have a rather large personal collection that were given to me. I had to make the promise that I would not post them to the web until the person who gave them to me had died. As soon as I have confirmation that such has happened, I will great a JSM RUclips Channel and fill it. Right now, you can search and find a great deal of what is in my collection, but not all... I suggest that you get a copy of his autobiography and read it. It is a rare book. I believe that I paid around $100 USD for it.
I published this about him. May 17, 1909 is when Julius Sumner Miller was born in Massachusetts. He was a great demonstrator of Science Principles so much so that Walt Disney hired him to be the science advisor for Disney productions and he played Professor Wonderful on “The Mickey Mouse Club” Miller travelled the world helping students better understand physics concepts and the people who developed them when he was not professing in his university classroom. At this link you can see some of his demonstrations at the Air Force Academy that I have posted ruclips.net/video/4wa8IKMYwK8/видео.html I spent time at the Air Force Academy going through the professor’s notes. While going through them, I came across his exchanges with Einstein. The two bounced between English and German as if they were the same language. Film producer Donna Matson convinced the professor to make short demonstration videos about physics and the great scientists behind them. She gave to me copies of the shorts provided that I would use them for my own research and presentations in the classroom. His agreement with Matson was that she would turn on the cameras for 15 minutes and he would make the videos straight --there would be no editing. And then he would move on to the next topic. I am a bit frustrated because it is clear that he had demonstrations on the bench and he just didn’t get to them; now whatever it was that he was going to say or demonstrate is lost. My efforts at getting a Julius Sumner Miller postage stamp have not yet succeeded. But often success is on the other side of failure. Be EnCouraging… /
Absolutely. Such is why I got this from the AF Academy and posted it. I spent a few days there and copied all of his notes. There were boxes and boxes of them.
That was his "gift" he knew the science so well he could explain it and demonstrate it in simple terms.that ANYONE could understand but still left you thinking about it hours or even months later
Hi Q audience for Julius Sumner Miller. Julius wowed and oohed them, and encouraged thinking. The answer is not important. But why is it so? And it was good to see a scientist through in some innuendoes, Learning without being taught is a great experience. Love you Julius.
Without question. His autobiography is rare, but worth finding and reading. His collection is at the Air Force Academy and I have spent time with it and taken copies of many of his notes.
What a beautiful, entertaining, enchanting and enlighting one hour of procrastination watching this video. That's why I love good old time TV/movies. Once upon time it was era when authors/producers had and at same time expect some intellectual and cognitive skills of audience. In huge contrast nowadays when producers expect the worst of the worst (are authors and producers at same low level???) and literally explain obvious and fills the show with redundant dialogues, lines and pictures and lowing intellectual bar every new show making audiences even more lazy even to try using a brain a lit a bit. Back to professor. Besides great presentation I must cheer very well prepared and executed script of - call it right - performance. One hour of scientific stand up. And off course all the physics were carefully selected for military specifics in real life without mentioning it. And BTW huge thanks to @AllenMorrisColonel for uploading and thanks to cosmic bug in RUclips algorithm what allows me to discover my new scientific love in hand to hand with Niel deGrasse Tyson @StarTalk.
Thank you. I have long been a fan of Big Julie. His autobiography is a rare book but well worth the read and the internet is full of his stuff. The woman who made 15-minute shorts of him also made shorts of him talking about great men. They too are worth seeing though I have not seen them on the internet. She, Donna Madsen, made copies for me only after I promised that I would not post them to the internet as long as she was alive. I need to check in what her if she is still alive. JSM willed all of his collection to the Air Force Academy so I have spent time there going through it. He made hundreds of typed notes about thoughts and ideas he had about other demonstrations that he did not have time to make. I now have copies of them and need to work on them. This footage was given to me by the Air Force Academy and I was given permission to post it. Yes, he was truly an amazing man. Some of his students did not like him, but such is the case with many students. I have appreciated their comments just as much as those who had praise for him.
ah what a legend the past 19 60s 70s were very dramatic peroids with so many problems the only reason i can say if i want to go to the past is because of this person walter lewin, julis sumner man they are legends the way they perceive physics is absolutely right and we need teachers sorry not teachers but legends like him to teach us physics this diplomas degrees and other shitty certificts are just ppaers. regret i was born late
I am watching this clip today 15-7-2019 and may age is 70. I do not know if Professor Julius is alive or passed away. If he is alive may the God give him health and if passed away I ask the God to keep his soul in rest and peace.
22:22 I hope all you radio hams and RF guys out there got that. You should have realised that "H" (the height of the vessel) is analogous to a full sinusoidal wave. Given that analogy, your 1/4 wave and 3/4 wave points will be of equal, low impedence while your 1/2 wave point will be of higher impedance. The higher impedance then is analogous to a smaller aperture, such as a jet nozzle on a pressurized car washer and thus, greater range.
Years ago I played the pipe organ athe US Air Force Academy, SIR! Also tuned pipes. One mustay away from the smaller pipes because radiated body heat will expand the pipenough that when it cools, it will become slightly sharp and produce beat notes. If you handle a pipe it must be allowed to cool.

That would b so cool to have him honoured in this way. I'm certain he did an amazing job at inspiring people to have a curious mind. Teachers can learn a lot from just watching his videos.
The University of Sydney created a fellowship in his honor. It's now held by Karl Kruszelnicki. He too is an interesting chap.
@@FromNewToKnew Yes he was down the hall from me in physics but never ever got a chance to speak with him, he was a busy guy, once in a while a glimpse of those crazy shirts of his or his secretary LOL. He's in his 70's now- well I was there like in 2000 LOL. The big difference between him and prof Sumner
I use to watch him on TV when I was a kid back in the late 60's. He was so much fun to watch plus I would learn something. I would sit there with my Mum, which was also a wonderful thing for me. However, I have never seen this talk, so thank you for sharing this.
You are most welcome.
I watched him too, but you would never guess that he had such a good sense of humour.
Impressive orator and physics demonstrator. JSM was my first science teacher through his Australian ABC “Why is it so?” programs in the 60’s.
Leaning from him well before highschool about light, heat, mechanics and a love for science and the beauty of mathematics to describe Nature.
“Always with a capital N” as he was want to say.
Thank you for your kind words about Big Julie. I have been unsuccessful as of yet to get a postage stamp in his honor, but I am still working on it.
He always introduced himself as Professor Julius Sumner-Miller. What an Educator.
I remember watching his program on television in the late 60s. I'm amazed to find it on RUclips.
I so wish I could watch him live, he inspired me so much to learn and learn and learn science.
Time well spent watching.
those cadets will NEVER forget that!!!
The charged major will never forget that.
Wonderful! Thank you Professor. RIP Julius.
I love that little Bevis and Butthead cough he does when he tells a joke 😂
At 11:30 pm i thought I'll check out this guy Julius Sumner Miller before i go to sleep, Now just realising it's 4:30 am lol, wodda intelligent and funny person whome I've learnt a lot from in these few early hours of the morning. A Greatfull Aussie.
I'm having the same experience right now! Started at 9:30 it's now 1:36! Can't get enough of Prof.Miller! ✌
Thanks for this upload, Allen.
I believe i found Julius in 2019 or early 2020 - I understood the concepts very well and eagerly devoured his videos. thank you for helping to keep his teachings available. Matthew Bryant is another channel here who shares Julius' videos. Very grateful to you both as I lost all of his vids when they deleted his channel.
You are most welcome. Thank you for letting me know. Yes, Donna Madsen is very protective of her work making the short videos. She gave copies to me but made me promise that I would not post them to the internet. The Air Force academy did not make such a request.
Pure gold. Thanks so much for uploading!
You're welcome. He's the best.
simply amazing spirit. Wow.
We were shown his videos in junior high and high school. Love watching.
This is how you teach people to think for themselves - instead of teaching people to repeat what you said.
Absolutely. Big Julie was the best. If you get a chance, read his autobiography.
This is the teaching style i learn from!
This is a Masterpiece...
Pure Internet Gold!
What a great Professor! You can tell his students loved him.
Typical of his Australian tv program of the 60's, "Why is it so??" He generally left us without answers only with the program title: Why is it so?
+DH Dowi Correct, but I loved the way he made me think.
Remember the 2 other guys who did the curiosity show... and later went onto Hey Hey it's Saturday ( Night )
@@waynebow-gu7wr curiosity show is here on youtube!.. they post almost daily!
@@WacKEDmaN Thanks for the tip.... but I'll probably end up looking for Hey Hey highlights. Have you seen these 'agro out takes'. ruclips.net/video/2ZLKzQcmGDM/видео.html
In order to make us think. Today that's rare in "education."
he was one of my teachers at el camino college in 1958-1961 - an inspiration . like so many other students there he was an enchanting magician . i loved his classes . it is such a coincidense that i was thinking of him a 3 days ago - how entertaining and exciting it was to hear him . today people might have said i had a man-cruch for him . i was 17 18 and 19 y.o. didn't know what i was going to do . this vid brought back so many memories . thanx for providing this .
It must have been fabulous to have him as a teacher, when i asked science teachers some of the questions he raised in my mind the responce was either i dont know or were not understandable due to the over complicating the explanation. hence never did well in high school.
Great. Thank you for letting me know. You are the second person with whom I've had contact that had contact with JSM. The other is now dead.
I love this guy!
he may be dead and i was pre dead when he filmed this.....
it is an honor to time travel into the past for such an interesting demonstration.
The interaction w the crowds emotions and intelect is astonising to me as someone who went to and threw college w out ever feeling this in a single lecture.
the crowds roar left me feeling like the crowd was misplaced like a modern day ufc fight...
My grandfather was in the air force and was likely to have seen a few of these demonstrations.
funny enough looking back he was a wonderful teacher and i always wondered why such a brilliant mathmatician choose to educate the young minds of high schoolers. then i saw this. RIP gramps and mr sumner.
I wish I had a professor like him in college.
Absolutely....
I did! El Camino College, Torrance, Ca. About 1974, our Physics teacher got ill and her friend Julius substituted the rest of the semester. Best Instructor I ever had.
He made science fun and if you are planning on entering any of the sciences please watch his shows ? What a wonderful personality .
At the 35 minute mark, the 'bowing' of the sand forms the shape of plasma, which is shown in recent experiments. It's also the shape which Immanuel Velikovsky's research was founded on.... and found all over the world in ancient cave paintings etc. recording an event in the sky.
Can you tell us more? I have never heard of this..
@@50centgotshot9timesThere is another theory to science, that the universe is electric !
The thunderbolt project has hundreds of video's on this subject.... here's one to start with.

@@50centgotshot9times This is better... ruclips.net/video/t7EAlTcZFwY/видео.html
I am a physics post graduate student ,from India......I love the way of demonstrating physics pratically ......love you sir from my core heart.salute you
Thank you. Yes, he's great. That is why I push his stuff out.
@@AllenMorrisColonel if more video you have please upload on your channel
@@biranchikumarjena8257 I have a rather large personal collection that were given to me. I had to make the promise that I would not post them to the web until the person who gave them to me had died. As soon as I have confirmation that such has happened, I will great a JSM RUclips Channel and fill it. Right now, you can search and find a great deal of what is in my collection, but not all... I suggest that you get a copy of his autobiography and read it. It is a rare book. I believe that I paid around $100 USD for it.
Professor Julius are great
I published this about him. May 17, 1909 is when Julius Sumner Miller was born in Massachusetts. He was a great demonstrator of Science Principles so much so that Walt Disney hired him to be the science advisor for Disney productions and he played Professor Wonderful on “The Mickey Mouse Club”
Miller travelled the world helping students better understand physics concepts and the people who developed them when he was not professing in his university classroom. At this link you can see some of his demonstrations at the Air Force Academy that I have posted ruclips.net/video/4wa8IKMYwK8/видео.html
I spent time at the Air Force Academy going through the professor’s notes. While going through them, I came across his exchanges with Einstein. The two bounced between English and German as if they were the same language.
Film producer Donna Matson convinced the professor to make short demonstration videos about physics and the great scientists behind them. She gave to me copies of the shorts provided that I would use them for my own research and presentations in the classroom. His agreement with Matson was that she would turn on the cameras for 15 minutes and he would make the videos straight --there would be no editing. And then he would move on to the next topic. I am a bit frustrated because it is clear that he had demonstrations on the bench and he just didn’t get to them; now whatever it was that he was going to say or demonstrate is lost.
My efforts at getting a Julius Sumner Miller postage stamp have not yet succeeded. But often success is on the other side of failure.
Be EnCouraging…

27:20 Tracking Hate over Time lol, classy. I need to start doing this asap. 34:04 what a cheezball, "sweeten the music" lol Love him
Masterfully done once again
Absolutely. Such is why I got this from the AF Academy and posted it. I spent a few days there and copied all of his notes. There were boxes and boxes of them.
my physic professor was just as energetic and passionate about teaching although an older man.
he use to teach my dad at Woodville high
dad was a smart bastard like him
I'm dumbfounded by the simplicity of the complicated
That was his "gift" he knew the science so well he could explain it and demonstrate it in simple terms.that ANYONE could understand but still left you thinking about it hours or even months later
Hi Q audience for Julius Sumner Miller. Julius wowed and oohed them, and encouraged thinking. The answer is not important. But
why is it so? And it was good to see a scientist through in some innuendoes, Learning without being taught is a great experience. Love you Julius.
Salute!
Truly Enchanting
He gives you the taste of knowledge and leaves it to you to find the recipe.
He's Great!
Thumbs up for the army navy and airforce! God bless you all, you arent just protecting america you're protecting the free world!
this guy is the real deal.
Without question. His autobiography is rare, but worth finding and reading. His collection is at the Air Force Academy and I have spent time with it and taken copies of many of his notes.
He reminds me of merlin from sword in the stone, best character ever and a truly wonderful man.
38:00 is the best! Represents Martial Arts and the way of life to an extent.
One of my favorite people ever.
I love being enchanted!
A blast from the past! He was awesome! Thanks👍... oh just one more thing... he always reminded me of Columbo!
Well said. Thanks. I'm a student of both.
he is great....love him....
I love this man
Never knew this person before RUclips.
RUclips is a game changer for sure.
What a beautiful, entertaining, enchanting and enlighting one hour of procrastination watching this video.
That's why I love good old time TV/movies. Once upon time it was era when authors/producers had and at same time expect some intellectual and cognitive skills of audience.
In huge contrast nowadays when producers expect the worst of the worst (are authors and producers at same low level???) and literally explain obvious and fills the show with redundant dialogues, lines and pictures and lowing intellectual bar every new show making audiences even more lazy even to try using a brain a lit a bit.
Back to professor.
Besides great presentation I must cheer very well prepared and executed script of - call it right - performance. One hour of scientific stand up. And off course all the physics were carefully selected for military specifics in real life without mentioning it.
And BTW huge thanks to @AllenMorrisColonel for uploading and thanks to cosmic bug in RUclips algorithm what allows me to discover my new scientific love in hand to hand with Niel deGrasse Tyson @StarTalk.
Thank you. I have long been a fan of Big Julie. His autobiography is a rare book but well worth the read and the internet is full of his stuff. The woman who made 15-minute shorts of him also made shorts of him talking about great men. They too are worth seeing though I have not seen them on the internet. She, Donna Madsen, made copies for me only after I promised that I would not post them to the internet as long as she was alive. I need to check in what her if she is still alive. JSM willed all of his collection to the Air Force Academy so I have spent time there going through it. He made hundreds of typed notes about thoughts and ideas he had about other demonstrations that he did not have time to make. I now have copies of them and need to work on them. This footage was given to me by the Air Force Academy and I was given permission to post it. Yes, he was truly an amazing man. Some of his students did not like him, but such is the case with many students. I have appreciated their comments just as much as those who had praise for him.
Just great :-)
The Major appears to be a Lt. Col. (silver oak leaves), but was too polite to correct him. Good for him.
ah what a legend
the past 19 60s 70s were very dramatic peroids with so many problems
the only reason i can say if i want to go to the past is because of this person
walter lewin, julis sumner man they are legends
the way they perceive physics is absolutely right and we need teachers
sorry not teachers but legends like him to teach us physics
this diplomas degrees and other shitty certificts are just ppaers.
regret i was born late
and the woman thought we sold the house because the doorbell didn't work and I couldn't fix it .......
^sums up humanity
I am watching this clip today 15-7-2019 and may age is 70. I do not know if Professor Julius is alive or passed away. If he is alive may the God give him health and if passed away I ask the God to keep his soul in rest and peace.
He died about 40 years ago.
I am also 70 and I am watching JSM videos as well. I work occasionally as a substitute school teacher and I find these videos very informative.
i do it again because i like it :) thank you sir
He picked a point, and that point goes below the surface and heads backwards. and reappears again at the surface, half a circumference away.
56:24 The music cant fall out like that, you know that Colonel :)
I miss this professor.
wish I had him as a science teacher
22:22 I hope all you radio hams and RF guys out there got that. You should have realised that "H" (the height of the vessel) is analogous to a full sinusoidal wave. Given that analogy, your 1/4 wave and 3/4 wave points will be of equal, low impedence while your 1/2 wave point will be of higher impedance. The higher impedance then is analogous to a smaller aperture, such as a jet nozzle on a pressurized car washer and thus, greater range.
Years ago I played the pipe organ athe US Air Force Academy, SIR! Also tuned pipes.
One mustay away from the smaller pipes because radiated body heat will expand the pipenough that when it cools, it will become slightly sharp and produce beat notes. If you handle a pipe it must be allowed to cool.
Perfect. Thank you for sharing. The world desperately needs more people like you.
How many hate me? [Sips beverage]
Legendary
Write down the names of other channels show his demonstrations, guys?
Julius Summer Miller. The master of physics blue balls

Fascinating experiments💐👏👏
lots of love from india
He draws great circles!
What a delight
Brilliant physicist
Wish I could have been there.
