As a teacher myself, I have to say that he is inspiring to watch and is teaching me a thing or two about how to hold my college classes. Such a great professor! RIP
superficial patronising git.
@@bikerfirefarter7280 a fine example of psychological projection.
@@Psy0psAgent The 'professor, Brett B or I? Or other?
I grew up with the professor! His impatience and nervousness always stressed me..... he was wonderful!!! He was a genius!!!
Really?
Realy
Really
Err....
Really
This man was so much a part of my young life. I was keen on science and just loved watching "Why is it so?". We watched it on the family's black and white Kriesler TV but even through the snow, ghosting, and occasional rolling screen this man's genius and ability to excite young minds was captivating. Thank you Professor Sumner Miller for all you taught us and to the ABC for bringing him to our screens.
This is the most CHARMING and PERSONAL moment that reveals the true beautiful of this totally rational scientist.... "Gregory with the freckles" . It was (and still is 40 years later) for me (a red-head with freckles) a priceless moment. He just won my heart totally. Thankyou dear man. Such a touching soul. Rest in Peace old friend.
Are you Gregory with the freckles??
are you gregory with the freckles?!?! we gotta know man!
We were very lucky as kids. I loved this guy when i was a kid. Too bad there aren't shows like him on free tv now for the kids.
Sumner Miller was always so passionate about sharing his knowledge with others. He was a brilliant man
A wonderful man. We need more like him now more than ever before.
Man had an unyielding grasp of the english language, he explains physics so that I can understand. A brilliant teacher.
Winton looks enthralled, bless him. Geoffrey looks bored sh!tless until he gets zapped, hahaha
I would have loved to have a teacher like him in highschool
3:50 Gregory, what composure!
Yea, I’d have been like MFer!
"Slap the Slab"!!! Something to every pubescent boy understands!!!
couldn't tell if it was biology or physics
Yea, or whippin Skippy
@@robertlangley258'Feeding the chooks'!!!
How can anyone thumbs down this. The man was a marvel.
For Gen X kids growing up in Australia and the USA, he was the man.
“Oh, now this is something… I’m getting nothing!” 😂
He used to be on the Steve Allen show. He inspired me to take physics in school. My teacher was nothing like this and the class was nothing like this.
"Hilarious House of Frightenstein" sent me here.
I tried to explain this to my nephew, but my version was to have him hold a spark plug wire to his tongue while I cranked the engine.
nasty, especially with electronic ignitions. we did something similar to keep pigeons/squirrels off crops, MOT/SCR/capacitors etc. You'd be amazed how high a squirrel can jump; or how fast a pigeon can get in 20-25ft, before smacking into a tree. Pigeons are so stupid they came back several times.
I got the original idea from accidentally getting across a 4,000v capacitor bank, not something I am in any rush to repeat.
Sparking a nose! I saw The Professor in action in the 80s. He himself (alitteration?) was a force of nature.
he should have stuck to this instead of that Columbo thing.
fuggn lol!
Those kids are in their 70s now lmao
03:26 joy by electricity
If he was my teacher, I would've definitely become a physicist, either experimental or theoretical
He looks like he could be Columbo's brother - the one who went to college.
I can hear the disc shock Gregorys nose the first time Professor Miller did it.
Loved this guy only time I enjoyed science
Awesome - any idea on the year? I'd take a guess and say late 60s?
diskuse diskuse the series ran from 1963 to 1986. This episode looks like it is mid to late 60’s. Some of these episodes were from his lecture laboratory at University of Sydney, but this one looks like it is shot at the ABC studios in Kings Cross.
If Rod Serling went into science instead of the Twilight Zone
Next week the professor's guess we'll be Marty McFly and the Professor will show him his time machine.
This would never fly today, if the guy submitted his script and told the network that he was going to have some young boys watch him slap the fur..........
I love this man and method😘😘😘
There are two kinds of backbenchers...
1st who doesnt behaves as if he is understanding everything,
2nd who behaves as if he is understanding everything...
And both of them can be seen in this video..
1st becomes scientist
2nd becomes politician
Man, this is cool. I grew up with Mr. Wizard, who seems young compared to this professor.
8:52 The kids look relieved class is out ..
I do what I do today and the last 30 years because of this man :)
6:20 This part very much reminds me of the milkshake dialog at the end of "There Will Be Blood". Fortunately, it didn't end in a similar manner.
After the cameras turned off, he chased them and beat em with the plate.
I remember him being on when I was a kid, but I was too young to really pay attention. I had Legos to to play with.
He looks like the wizard gargamel from smurfs
After these lecture, both guys went to JPL as researchers
Makes me want to Watch Bullwinkle
WHAT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN IF THEY GAVE HIM MOOOREE TIMMMEEE ???!!
Why the Helll Am I smilling like a husky dog ?, This is better than Penn and the other one!-
This was ElectroBOOM's inspiration, probably.
Electroboom is a nutcase, and, 9nly an electrical engineer. Professor Julius Sumner miller was a physicist.
Similar thing u can observe in comb ..
I'd like to see him do an experiment that would require you to pull his finger.
'slap the slab'.....the prof is working blue with the kiddies.
back then boys wouldn't have inferred any misleading meaning, thanks to the internet age now a 7 years old boy knows more than what a 40 years old would have known those days
@@danish6192 Sadly ..... :(
What does slap the slab means in your sense ? :/
I kept waiting for the "prank" that was shown in the title. WHERE WAS THE PRANK?!?
Young Christian Bale !?!?
Right young men, let me show you what happens when I rub some things and I do some slapping. Did you get something young man did you feel it eh? Did you get something from my rubbing and slapping eh?
Do you see it’s rather sticky
The real prank was when he plugged the plate into the wall socket & shocked the kid .
Ohh they laughed at that one at his funeral
👎
Any books written by Genius Mr.Julius Sumner Miller?
Anyone can you suggest me,please...
Thanks
Read his book: 'The Days of My Life, An Autobiography'.
fur fur fur lul
Good ol' prof, from the Dr Strangelove school of eccentric European scientists who barely hide their accents! In this case, he was American born, but his parents were Lithuanian and Latvian. Which is good because I always confuse those two countries, so having both I can't go far wrong. It seems like there's a trace of their accents in there, he also sounds vaguely Yiddish in his speech. All great mad-scientist background! Good ol' prof, and there should be more like that. I bet he got plenty of viewers. There should be more like that, and not simplistic shite like excuses to blow stuff up for no good reason, or comedically electrocute people, or do stunts. It should all flow from the science.
There's an endless amount of stuff in science, much of it very interesting, and quite a bit would look good as a visual demonstration. There's no science stuff on TV at all that I can think of. Shame, and goes to show how far society has slumped.
Does anyone know who was the boy whose nose was touched, is he alive or something? Very cute little mouse. lol.
Does anyone know the Prajna Paramita? It’s like the scientific equivalent of Manjuseri pronouncing the perfection of wisdom - ‘Because I say that, all Dharmas abide in equality.’
w t f are you on?
Three of them are grandpas 🤦🏼♂️😂
Slapping the slab eh?
was Willy Wonka based off this guy?
The first kid looks like died 😂
Those young boys hv become papa by now ...maybe 40 50 years old??
@Jeremiah Bullfrog wow !! Thanks for the info mate !
Did not have PhD nor studied under Einstein.
SODs left the rim light on. 🤦🏻♂️
0:30 Gregory with the freckles..if a teacher said this today he would possibly be suspended pending a full enquiry
His freckle were cause by being roasted by electricity.
Never trust a teacher using static electricity to teach you a lesson. Also never trust camp leaders who connect an electric fence to your steel chair and give you 30 seconds to get all the shapes into a Fisher Price Shape-O toy. - just sayin.
2021: child abuse! How "far" we've come.
Is he still alive ?
1909-1987
Those kids look traumatized, these days the professor would not be regarded as child safe.
The boys faces are full of delight, the lad at the back can't stop grinning.
Doesn’t take much to traumatise kids these days. I’m sure these 2 grew up just fine even though he is a little scary & loud
😍🙏
A little creepy.
He would probably be accused of grooming kids these days.
Far too manic.
today it would be child abuse
Ahhh but why ?
the 'young men' look terified
school me kitna kia h ye chair pe baith k, any indian here
