potw.news.yahoo.com— MIT professor and Web star Walter Lewin swings from pendulums and faces down wrecking balls to show students the zany beauty of science.

This video is f**king stupid! Is this professor the only one who makes these types of experiments and demonstrations? NO! As an engineering major I had to take physics every single f**king year and every one of my professors did the SAME exact experiments. One physics professor is even 80 and still did these same exact things.
My physics professor stands there, reads slides, and talks in a monotone voice......Physics professors are usually the most boring, this guy is great though. *is jealous of MIT and their legit professors
Walter is brilliant!!!, I miss my lectures and just watch his... All universities should have at least one professor who brings physics to their students in this way!
The reason she was sitting on his lap is because the place was full and he could only get one seat. and u kinda hurt my feeling when you called me a jerk ;_ ;
he looks like a great teacher. He's doing things that gets students involved and motivated to go to class. Alot of students take classes because you have too with a lot of boring lectures, with more teachers like him people will actually learn and pay attention. I wish he was at my high school. Hey looks like he makes science fun, instead of boring.
With all due respect to you, your grasp of the basics seems be to very weak. Friction is NOT the reason why he didn't get hit with the wrecking ball. At least watch the lecture before you make an uninformed comment.

I was looking for a great punchline after the "..." in the title. How disappointing...my way.

More teachers like this, and the world would be a lot better off.

I had a high school physics teacher, Mr. Scrivner, who did great in-class experiments like the bowling ball on a chain too. Very cool.

The best professor I ever had was a physics professor who taught just this way. It was awesome and you never forgot the lessons you learned.
