When I was a physics student I struggled to overcome and ignore my intuition to come to the correct answer. Often it was just a matter of smashing together two equations I knew, but instead I messed the whole thing up following my intuition.

More often than not, this type of hands on lecture is seldom taught even at a university level anymore. I have been to more passive lectures than I can count where you sit and listen to someone talk about equations and mathematics, simply just to hear themselves talk.
thetrainman407 Yeah but at least those sometimes use the board and what they say you can actually follow. The worst shit is when the lecturer is using some wall of text ppt which you have no chance of absolving and taking notes of.

+Milano Walter Yes, and why that is, is still a bit of a science mystery. The Technical University of Delft showed that the angluar momentum of the wheels were by far not enough to explain why a bike does not fall over when no one is steering it at speed.
+Ronald de Rooij It's because when you're on a bike and you start tipping, you steer into it to keep you upright. It's not gyroscopic effects, but it's not a mystery either, though it is quite complicated. the slight backwards tilt of the steering column also helps - really it's that what keeps the bike upright and rolling along even if you jump off, or you just give it a push and let go...

I love that he repeats "none of this is intuitive" Meaning that it took quite a bit of working out to arrive at the answers they have. Understanding the relationship of momentum and torque in that scenario took time and a lot of experimentation before someone could formulaically express what they were seeing and predict results using the formula he shows.

@@SSniperFly-lr7zb I think it's more about how amazing it was to have been able to figure out these completely unnatural and bizzare concepts of energy and how things work and being able to show the math behind it.

@@filthyan1mal588 no seriously, the earth was generally regarded as round. the flat earth movement even back then was a vocal minority, similar to today.
It is if you squeeze your brain a little. When the wheel spins fast the centrifugal force creates an inertia in all directions from the center of the wheel along the 2d plane outwards. That force have a direction along the plane and it will require a greater force to change its direction. That is, to tilt the imaginary 2d plane you would need a greater force than the one produced by the inertia. The 2 kg weight is not enough force to overcome the angular momentum of the spinning wheel.
But the effect actually is intuitive if you ever played with "toy" gyroscopes as a child, lol. You automatically understand what's happening. Even if you don't understand the math.
Well it means the same thing. Formulas are lime abbreviations to simplify these things so they can be unified with other formulas. For example, Schrödinger’s cat is a very simple and famous paradox among scientists. There is a cat that is put in a box sealed with a vial of poison bound to expose and poison the cat at any given moment. The box is locked and not see through so unless you open the box you don’t know if the cat is dead or alive. So the cat is thought of as dead and alive. The formula for this experiment is \hat{H} \Psi=E \Psi. It is much shorter but I can not copy and paste the formula so just google it and you will see.
I immediately figured he must be Dutch due to his way of speaking. What an amazing professor, hope he can continue to teach and inspire ik whatever way possible for many more years 🙏🏻
+mantas kaupas Most physics professors do the occasional demonstration, which is usually entertaining, but 95% of lecture time is copying down a shitload of text and doing example questions.
He is truly a great teacher, just doesn't teach it from a book and write it on a black board, he gives u excellent examples that teaches u more then any book could ...
This reminds me of my physics 101 class at Michigan State in 1974. The classroom was virtually identical to this lecture auditorium. The professor had a student stand on a lazy susan type of platform and hold the bike wheel while she (professor) used a power drill to wind the wheel up to a truly frightening speed. I was worried the wheel was going to grab the student's shirt and end up killing the kid. The professor told the student to twist the axle to see what would happen. We all knew that this would make the student rotate on the lazy susan platform. However, the student gave the wheel an excessively strong twist and found the forces too strong to control. The wheel jerked from his hand and he ended up barely maintaining balance on one foot in an extremely twisted posture while holding the uncontrolable, madly spinning wheel in one hand above his head. Eventually, the wheel twisted out of his hand, landed on the desk, let out a squeel of spinning rubber and took off up the audtorium. Every time it landed on a desk, papers and notebooks would go flying as paniced students were diving out of the way. Best physics lesson ever.
Engaging video on wheel momentum. Clear explanations, relatable examples. Visuals enhance learning. Teacher's passion and expertise shine. Enjoyable and informative. Keep up the good work!
My high school physics teacher, Robert Barkovitz, taught with interactive/physical displays just like this! Which is why I became an engineer, and went to MIT :D Thank you, Mr. Barque!!
My high school physics teacher used to say “Physics is phun” (yes, the F in fun was replaced with PH). It was at the top of every worksheet he created for the class.
In the 90s at MIT, they used to do the experiment of shooting a bullet into a suspended woodblock, to see how much the block would swing, and thus calculate the bullet's velocity. With a real bullet shot from a real gun!! All done very safely of course. I don't know if that still happens to this day, but that was an amazing class.
How he says ”none of this is intuitive " reminds me so much of my university phyisics II professor when discussing electromagnetism with us...one of the best classes I ever took...God bless professors like both of them
I never understood angular momentum in University. I could see everything in physics except that. And then HE made the statement the angular momentum chases the torque. Such a brilliant way to tie into linear dynamics. So cool. I can now see the force acting on the momentum in spin. I wish I had him for undergrad physics.
I am kind of students who doesn't get the subject so easily with just a theory, a practical example like will change a lot my perception of school life back then
The lecture is cut. I bet he hanged the wheel then explained in theory how everything worked before physically showing it in an experiment. Therefore, not unlikely he forgot where the wheel was.
It happens when you are talking about deep discipline, and thinking to a lot of stuff. Anyway, when he forget where the wheel was, it passed some time, cause you can see the video was cutted
I loved the explanation of angular movement, and above all seeing the general idea of the explanation of movement in torque, since in Newtonian physics or mechanics it is extremely important to always explain from the why, and the what for of the things themselves, incredible teacher
In lectures in our university we are supposed to imagine all these stuff with no live action which is really hard sometimes, just signes and things going here and there, it's a bit demotivating.
Simo Ritto unless professors also have esp (mind reading capabilities) no one can understand your thoughts or imagination either right or wrong. Imagination is important, also hands on practicality.
Any person who thinks they can understand this in highschool from a scholar standpoint is underestimating the complexity of physics. It's not just plugging in equations and getting answers, it's Hard Earned Knowledge that takes hours and hours of analyzing and conceptualizing.
+Balance Or very good mathematical understanding on top of intuition. Source: I have a BS in physics. Edit: But yes, you need to take your time to conceptualize why things explained in textbooks or by professors are suppose to make sense instead of taking it for granted. However, that shouldn't take you years and only hours and maybe days (well, that's from personal experience, but quantum mechanics was a bitch).
I did pure maths, so for me there were no experiments. However, it's all about getting vivid examples for people to remember. And a great lecturer was professor Ian Stewart (Warwick University - he worked with Terry Pratchett). He was my supervisor during my masters and an amazing guy. Truly incredible lecturers like this make it all worth it. He would give us hundreds of examples when studying fractional dimensions and such (topology for dynamical systems and chaos theory). He made the hardest thing easy to comprehend.
I was trying to demonstrate this to my class and as I was spinning the wheel my finger got caught in the spokes and it chopped off my finger and blood was spewing out everywhere.
Well now that I think about it, this guy could have actually cut his finger off with a tire, because my friend had his finger cut off by a ladder. So if the ladder can do it a tire spinning fastly probably could too. BUT, if you go to his profile, you can clearly see a fishing picture with all his fingers intact. Whos to say the pic wasnt before the loss of finger. We may never know lol
If any of my physics teachers taught me in this way in high school, I would not have such a dislike for physics now. But they had no electricity or the facilities to conduct any kind of experiment. So, I guess I've to forgive them. 😳😳☺🤩
No doubt he's one of the best physics teacher, a mistake can never define someone's character and also no one can deny he worked really hard to make things easily understandable
How I wish our professors would teach us like this in the university. It's easier to learn when lessons are demonstrated like this than just discussing the lecture. It makes it more interactive which makes it memorable and easily understood.
At my engineering school no teacher will ever admit that something "is not intuitive". Thay's why I consider this guy such a genius for being a humble teacher.
in france in the 70's, if you wanted to go to the university to study literature, you had to understand how to calculate air resistance via integration for a falling object, among other things they did, in order to prepare for the Bac (their SAT). these days there is a general tendency in the west to easy up the way through school for the students...
I would very much like to ask Walter Levin, if he could explain the MECHANISM behind this efect. I get angluar momentum and torque...but what generates it? I mean, is it a counter efect to air or gravity? Or both maybe? Or is it the energy per shape thing?
Eternal Solitude Luckly, the world does not consist of science only. The issue (for me) is that the world is slowly falling into "science". I just think alot of people, that could give science a meaning, are left behind...

since in Newtonian physics or mechanics it is extremely important to always explain from the why, and the what for of the things themselves, incredible teacher
In lectures in our university we are supposed to imagine all these stuff with no live action which is really hard sometimes, just signes and things going here and there, it's a bit demotivating.
This comment fits with ur pfp so badly...
Simo Ritto unless professors also have esp (mind reading capabilities) no one can understand your thoughts or imagination either right or wrong.
Imagination is important, also hands on practicality.

Students:
Physics is amazing when demonstrated in such a straight forward way.
This will make anyone less afraid of banking on a motorcycle.
Any person who thinks they can understand this in highschool from a scholar standpoint is underestimating the complexity of physics. It's not just plugging in equations and getting answers, it's Hard Earned Knowledge that takes hours and hours of analyzing and conceptualizing.
Years..
Sometimes..
LighterNumber300 yes
Balance and lots of hands on experimentation !
+Balance Or very good mathematical understanding on top of intuition.
Source: I have a BS in physics.
Edit: But yes, you need to take your time to conceptualize why things explained in textbooks or by professors are suppose to make sense instead of taking it for granted. However, that shouldn't take you years and only hours and maybe days (well, that's from personal experience, but quantum mechanics was a bitch).
I took physics in 11th grade 20 years ago and learned the formula, but I don't get it
The most important part in physics as humans, it's the emotion we can read on his face at 2:16
I did pure maths, so for me there were no experiments. However, it's all about getting vivid examples for people to remember. And a great lecturer was professor Ian Stewart (Warwick University - he worked with Terry Pratchett). He was my supervisor during my masters and an amazing guy. Truly incredible lecturers like this make it all worth it. He would give us hundreds of examples when studying fractional dimensions and such (topology for dynamical systems and chaos theory). He made the hardest thing easy to comprehend.
RUclips recommend me after 10 years ❤️😜
I was trying to demonstrate this to my class and as I was spinning the wheel my finger got caught in the spokes and it chopped off my finger and blood was spewing out everywhere.
Nick Evanson Must have cut off your comma finger...
Oh my God.
Lol quit lying Evan
Nick Evanson Are you joking or being serious?
Well now that I think about it, this guy could have actually cut his finger off with a tire, because my friend had his finger cut off by a ladder. So if the ladder can do it a tire spinning fastly probably could too. BUT, if you go to his profile, you can clearly see a fishing picture with all his fingers intact. Whos to say the pic wasnt before the loss of finger. We may never know lol
If any of my physics teachers taught me in this way in high school, I would not have such a dislike for physics now. But they had no electricity or the facilities to conduct any kind of experiment. So, I guess I've to forgive them. 😳😳☺🤩
Bruh why is this random teacher risking its life every lecture and why is he so underrated
ppl who didnt watched this: missed out
ppl who did watch this: satisfying
"none of this is intuitive" I just love this last thing he says, there.
"None of it is intuitive"
But it is closest to it when he explains it
What does he mean?
@@zakizakou4776 He means it doesn't easily make sense, our minds cant really think about it easily unless we try hard
@@aliokatan thank you very much for your answer
This is why you go to University, a place where enthusiastic scientists give lectures.
Physics Walllah Sir is best ever♥️
he was in a sexual harassment case because of which he got fired from MIT so I don't think he is the best Physics teacher
No doubt he's one of the best physics teacher, a mistake can never define someone's character and also no one can deny he worked really hard to make things easily understandable
This is what Indian education should learn first, simply learning theoretical by heart, and companies are selecting by looking the percentage
Yeahh all that mug up during preparation and vomit in exams stuff in India
Ab smj ma aya ye video kyu recommend kia utube ne,,,, MIT is really amazing inst.
Talk english
@@pierrebortin350 first you talk in our language, after that I will
none of this is intuitive
What if we would spin two wheels in opposite direction. Have them on one pole of the rod. Torque and spins would compensate, and prof can fly away
nothing would happen
yup. it doesn't feel right
3:10
This is much better than the physics classes I sat through in college. Actual physics brought to life by a teacher who cares - what a concept!
I'm glad he said that it's not intuitive knowledge, because this shit makes me feel dumb.
Who is here after 10 years😌😌
me 😂
Me
"None of these is intuitive"
Yet your experiments give me that
So much respect for his passion...giving it all on an everyday class. Mention his name...many will be proud.
boy i wish to attend a class like this so bad.
Были бы у нас такие учителя, никто бы и школу не прогуливал! 👍

What do physicists mean when they say something is not intuitive?
While it is obviously something that can be proven, it isn't something that one would predict to happen when one only uses his common sense.
Maran Nebbeling Thanks
Maran Nebbeling great answer, i was about to ask the same.
If you want the best example of physics that is not intuitive, check out special relativity X)
Actually it means is not obvious to our senses... but we need logic and mathematics to understand what happens
How I wish our professors would teach us like this in the university. It's easier to learn when lessons are demonstrated like this than just discussing the lecture. It makes it more interactive which makes it memorable and easily understood.
I was guessing the wheel would slowly fall over in a second or two. My mind is still F’d that it didn’t.
black98rt because it’s spinning way faster than we think.
"None of this is intuitive". You truly need to be a genius to admit that.
No you don't.
At my engineering school no teacher will ever admit that something "is not intuitive". Thay's why I consider this guy such a genius for being a humble teacher.
He is a humble teacher, not a genius. (At least because of that) He might be a genius though.
For me, humility is a part of being a genius.
You don't get to have an opinion on a word. That's like saying: for me, humility is a part of being racist. lmao
ОК, ютуб, я посмотрел ролик, который ты мне так навязчиво рекомендовал. Доволен?
I would learn very much from this teacher cause it's more interesting that he shows it while explaining than teachers that just explains
Вот так нужно преподавать физику!!!
“The dutch accent is feared even by the dutch”
Wish I had this teacher back then, I would of done better in life.👍
The 'would of' really adds to it.
Seeing this video in 2024 OMG 😳
they study this in university but in india we study everything in jee in 11 and 12
Yeah and you come here to do further studies and job. So, jokes on you
@@bluemass3834 jokes not on them. that's why they are so smart....
in france in the 70's, if you wanted to go to the university to study literature, you had to understand how to calculate air resistance via integration for a falling object, among other things they did, in order to prepare for the Bac (their SAT).
these days there is a general tendency in the west to easy up the way through school for the students...
I would very much like to ask Walter Levin, if he could explain the MECHANISM behind this efect. I get angluar momentum and torque...but what generates it? I mean, is it a counter efect to air or gravity? Or both maybe? Or is it the energy per shape thing?
all MIT courses are online for free.

So, we should translate everything into maths? How about you give me your opinion how this works, without maths!

Luckly, the world does not consist of science only. The issue (for me) is that the world is slowly falling into "science". I just think alot of people, that could give science a meaning, are left behind...
