She reminds me so much of me. SO much passion with what shes talking about, the breathlessness and talking so fast. I was following the whole time. Tough crowd but I loved it.
same here
The excitement experience by everyone who touches the depths of physics
Only those Understand who study Physics
Seriously one of the fastest talkers out there.... and still easier to understand than physics
hahaha ever heard a polish (or what have you) person speak english?
Normal speed tbh
well bit faster than most, but i am used to watching YT on x2 speed to shorten the time i spend with each video so her normal speed was still not difficult to understand.... x2 was fine too though.....
Helen, you really love what you do, you love physics, and you showed it.
I wish the world had more people like you. Thank you for these 15' and for the work you are doing.
I usually only watch business based Ted talks but I am really starting to open up my mind to different talks like this. Very valuable info here!
I really appreciate this talk because it does make physics more accessible to people, and therefore interesting. You have
to applaud anyone who takes an esoteric subject, and distills it down to a level that a common person can grasp. However, it does upset me that so many people are dismissive of subjects, where they do not see an IMMEDIATE practical application. Many of our most consequential inventions had, as their foundation, ideas that were formulated long before these inventions existed - ideas which, at their time, were purely theoretical and abstract with no immediate practical use.
I read her book a couple of months ago, and I loved it! Her book " Storm in a teacup" is amazing
Alina Pace couple it with Gerald Pollack’s the fourth phase of water and 100 reasons water is not H2O
www.smashwords.com/books/view/930017
To find the air and water are the same element
This element looks like
Microtubules containing bubbles
More Microtubules than bubbles equals water
Max bubbles inside the microtubules equals air
Oxygen is compressed and dried air (now spongelike in its ability to absorb water from its surrounds when released from its container)
Liquid oxygen is compressed and dried air that reveals the microtubules as the air bubbles within are compressed
instablaster
her vibe is amazing right
So, at one point she mentions a "chapter in her book."
I was watching the video at work so please forgive me if I am mistaken, but there doesn't seem to be any reference to her book. If anyone was curious, it's called Storm in a Teacup and it is awesome.
Love you ❤️
What a tough crowd!
Filip Folkesson For real! I get a sense it is going over their head
Filip Folkesson RIGHTT? So stiff.
They were busy understand or something dude don't blame em. They surely appreciated it.
I love her idea that learning science is 'by playing with these fundamental little things in everyday life we gain the confident to ask the right questions'.
This is brilliant! Such passion and wisdom, I love the presentation and you can't escape the physics ^^
that's interesting but I felt so bad that her jokes didn't land. it was a bit akward DX
The audience wasn't miked here.
ohhhhhh XD wish they told me earlier! it was very hard to watch without knowing it
But i love it
I was dying, she's pretty funny and cute too
Not so sure about that. You hear them laugh at about 8:28....
Notice also that it is more difficult to get the raw egg start spinning. You rarely can get it spinning fast with the first and only go like the cooked egg. That is also due to conservation of angular momentum. The liquid egg inside needs to spin up.
Great talk. Too bad she remembered that she only had a few minutes left on her parking ticket at the very beginning of the talk. :)
Thank you, Helen! Wonderful talk - so much passion!
The passion and pure excitement are so contagious and endlessly endearing. What a lovely talk.
omg this speech was so good. so catchy for real. nothing but love to her. She's really showing that physic is fun and nothing but fun!
This is one of my favorite talks ever. She’s amazing.
love her energy!
It's comfortable to watch her presentation, because I don't have to do anything (like try to laugh and clap) but too see her energy and to gain more knowledge. Really admire this kind of people!
It's all about rotation, rotation, rotation. Push the toast off slowly to put some butter on the carpet. Push the toast off a bit quicker and the odds are even. Push the toast a bit harder on its corner giving it a horizontal rotation before it leaves the table and it will NEVER land butter side down.
I was watching it in normal speed, but I always was doubting if it was running in fast forward! Enjoyed the talk.
Her enthusiasm is contagious.
Great talk indeed. As a person studying physics, I think of how everything works in everyday lives. Everything works under physics law, principles, every movement we see works in a way that physics can explain. People think that physics is boring and difficult and number nerdy thing but actually, even at this moment we're typing something, our fingers are giving a certain amount of force to press the keyboards. I really hope children can open their minds and see the world in a little different perspective.
There is just something about a talk from someone that is passionate about their topic. Amazing.
Thanks, I really needed this video today. I'm in my sophomore year of college and learning physics for the first time. It has been...a difficult subject to love. I will try and look at it from new angles. Perhaps I can learn to love it too.
Jessica Lukancic that's the spirit! It's all about been curious, learn some tools and see how u can use it.. it's awesome
Agus T Green she did that for a project
Awesome. Simplicity in the complexness. She is so passionate
Love your passion !!!
Highly entertaining and educative talk, thanks!
I love her passion!
Love the passion!
This lesson is very very important to me.. and very motivational.
love this talk
Way to go Helen!
You are a brilliant communicator, Dr. Czerski!
Great speech mam! you are rewined fundamentals very nice thanks for that
Another great TED talk!
She's so Brilliant! 😍
Splendid talk! Thank you
Wow, I like her so much and she absolutely supports my idea. Inspiring !!,
Actually I am only watching this in order to prepare my IELTS exam - and find it extremely fun and exciting!
An incredible science teacher.
I thought It might be boring honestly ,but It's hasn't. ..great talk,with great advise about science and how we have to look to all around us..because we will find every time and every where science
Everything is science
Memorised
I love her!!
The best ted on physics I’ve ever watched.
There is a professor at U.C. Berkeley named, Richard Muller. He had a simillar revelation about physics and everyday people so he created a course titled, "Physics for Future Presidents" . The lecture seried teaches some of the most interesting and important topics in physics, stressing conceptual understanding rather than math, with applications to current events.
The series has approximately 26 lectures, they are hosted on YT by Berkeley, and there are DL links in each lecture's description panel.
Helen is a stunner!
Storm in a teacup. Fascinating.
Thank you for your talk 😍👏👏 I feel passionate about physics again because of you 💐☺️
Air-sea interaction. This is why her name sounded familiar to me! I'm pretty sure we worked with the same people.
PS. I now realized she cited a paper I coauthored 😁
SUCH AMAZING
We had Ted Talks at our school one time so it was my first time, so I thought this is how it would go. Skinny tall man says ""Hi, um.... I'm Chuk from TedTalks and today we will be umm... (reads script) talking about the 21st century techni tehnik - tehcnicloloigigcal - technological advancements! "
Great! more power:)
Ok, your specialty is bubbles, so I have a bubble question. There’s a RUclips video of bubbles freezing at -35C. The ice crystals that form have 4 points, not 6 like a snowflake. Can you explain why this happens? Thank you!
Super fascinating and yes I tried and yes toes lands butter-side down! 😁😍
I really agree with her talk,I wish she could have given more examples of the gap she mentioned
Wow!
Great!!
I'm pretty sure Curie appreciated her image, and would cringe from todays image
She'd go into teaching in South Korea (E-Learning). High Passioned Educators're treated like Superstars there.
I would with pleasure marry somebody like her. Thanks for letting me know that your kind exists. Such a positive energy...loved it!
Very interesting.
Her stage presence is really good
My boyfriend is a physicist and I love to learn more about it now 😀
Helen is amazing, I wish I had 1/100th of her skills.
same
She's a very good narrator, a wonderfully talented logician.
I like cooking and F1... Lots of physics there. ;)
Too bad most teachers don't know how to relate science to everyday life. But this Talk is amazing!
damn. I tried to search her name in my podcast app for an interview or a panel discussion and nothing came up.
Genius!
I LOVE HER
Nice video 👌👌 really it was amazing
I appreciate this talk because she makes us understand physics easily.
People who take an esoteric subject have to applaud and distill it down to a level that person can grasp.
However, ignoring the subject of too many people not seeing practical applications makes me pitiful.
Very enthusiastic. Hope they are using her for recruiting as well.
Her biceps and triceps are bigger than mine 👌👌😍 a nice talk btw
Raisins in lemonade....will try that next time I'm at a boring party
She was trying to get everything in that she wanted to say...
If she had cut some of it and slowed down a bit, it would have been even better.
I think she's a wonderful ambassador for physics and science in general.
We need to de-mystify all the sciences and make it more accessible to regular folks.
she gave the answer to the way how to push toast off a table without it landiung butter side down in her speech......
SPOILER:
keyword: conservation of angular momentum.
push the toast in a way so that it spins in the plane of the table so that when it leaves the table its angular momentum will prevent it from turning over and the butter side keeps on pointing away from the ground!
captain out! #flies away#
I refrigerate my boiled eggs, and other foods such as grapes, because I prefer my food cold. I've also been told recently that cold food burns more calories because your body has to warm it up.
Physics ;)
Paul Smyers it doesn’t actually the difference is negligible 😂 like 0.00001 of a calorie lol you’re doing yourself no favors
I just watched boxing channel, does boxer being knocked out has anything to do with angular momentum :)
Super intelligent and interesting
that bring to my mind my old phisic's teacher
a man who explain me the atomic size with eggs and box of eggs
then i thought that he was mad after seen this i know that he isn't
Here because I wanna get the motivation to study for my uni exam.
Physics or not I believe she had too many coffee before the speech! :D
Great talk. Even as a child, I wondered why adults misrepresented physics to kids in cartoons. It seems like such a disservice.
See her on telly and she's calm and convincing. In this she seemed stressed and nervous. HC is a good communicator but it seemed to me this didn't work.
Geoff Buck I think she's speaking the more faster that she can.
I put my boiled eggs in the fridge because I like my boiled eggs like I like my ice, cold.
:p
Wow what an adorable, insanely smart and personable woman...
Wow. Tough crowd
Nice lady makes complex things seem simple. Must do more coffee than I do.
I have her book i think
3:00 no problem whatsoever with that pose
4:40
Physics will make your life beautiful
This is exactly how Salarian TED Talk would look like.
She has a lot of great engaging energy. She could host a science program. Or since she's a brit, a "science programme". :)
I liked how this person talked fast in a long video, which did not make it seem 15 minutes
That area in between that she talks about that's what engineers tackle on a daily basis
Was that a bunch of zombies in the room or what??? They're tougher than Chuck Norris.
These physicists are making a real difference in this world.
@Jzps
Yea I think those middle aged men had something on their mind other than physics haha. Beautiful physicists are like rare gems
