(January 11, 2010) Leonard Susskind, discusses the origin of covalent bonds, Coulomb’s Law, and the names and properties of particles. This course is a continuation of the Fall quarter on particle physics. The material will focus on the Standard Model of particle physics, especially quantum chromodynamics (the theory of quarks) and the electroweak theory based on the existence of the Higgs boson. We will also explore the inadequacies of the Standard Model and why theorists are led to go beyond it. This course was originally presented in Stanford’s Continuing Studies program.

@whothehellgivesadamn You seriously need to get laid/go outside/get therapy.

@PercyMcQueen11 I TYPE IN CAPS BECAUSE MY CONCEPTS ARE BRILLIANT AND I’M A FULL BLOWN GENIUS YOU STUPID CUNT, AND I DON’T NEED ANY ANALYSIS FROM A LAME SACK OF SHIT LIKE YOU, TAKE A HIKE STUPID TROLL CUNT…

@whothehellgivesadamn You’re a douche

@whothehellgivesadamn WHY ARE YOU CAPITALIZING EVERY WORD????

@clemonsx90 IF YOU WILL A LITTLE BRIGHTER YOU WOULD HAVE NOTICED THAT I QUALIFIED MY STATEMENT AND WENT ON TO THE NEXT LECTURE NUMBER2 WHERE HE COVERED IT….THE PROBLEM IS THAT HE’S NOT AS BRIGHT AS HE THINK’S HE IS, HIS LECTURES ARE SLOPPY…I’VE ALSO NOTICED THAT HE’S ANOTHER STRING THEORY SCHMUCK…..THE IDEA THERE DUMBASS IS A LITTLE THING CALLED SCIENTIFIC METHODOLOGY AND OBJECTIVITY…BUT OF COURSE CLOWN THIS IS GETTING WAY THE FUCK BEYOND YOUR PAY GRADE.

@whothehellgivesadamn He did gluons in a previous lecture. Don’t be so quick to post criticisms.

@whothehellgivesadamn Susskind is possibly the greatest living physicist in America.

THERE ARE CURRENTLY 60 OBSERVED PARTICLES IN THE STANDARD MODEL…HE DIDN’T EVEN COVER GLUONS OF WHICH THERE ARE 8….
THIS IS REALLY GREAT THAT THESE LECTURES ARE WINDING UP ON YOUTUBE…THE TEACHER SEEMS PRETTY KNOWLEDGEABLE BUT I WOULD GRADE HIS PERFORMANCE AS A C….NO DOUBT HE HAS A LOT OF KNOWLEDGE BUT IN AN HOUR HE COULD HAVE GIVEN A BETTER PERSPECTIVE, FOR ALL I KNOW HE MAY BE COVERING GLUONS IN ANOTHER LECTURE…ANYWAY, ITS GREAT TO SEE SUBSTANTIVE SCIENTIFIC PRESENTATIONS ON YOUTUBE

At 35:00 mister Susskind starts to name the particles

@Xwowplaya Justin Bieber gets hundreds of milions of views, and this vid gets 17k… Perfectly normal.

You know, 1911 mode just doesn’t seem to get the point through with this video.

@whactya I wouldn’t say so. That’d mean there was more ways of arranging the system so that the electron was shared between the two protons than not, and I’m not sure that makes sense. At any rate, entropy only really becomes useful when you’re talking about the aggregate behaviour of a huge number of things – you wouldn’t really use it to analyse the behaviour of three particles. Watch his statistical mechanics lectures if you’re interested in entropy. They’re crystal clear, as always…

At 22:00, the effective force describing the origin of covalent bond as a sharing of an electron between the two protons thru tunneling – can this state of sharing be thought of as a higher entropy state (the lower energy allowing the balance of energy to go any where else).

He describes it effortlessly

This man is the best! And, whoever dis-likes particles physics: no one is forcing you to watch it!

@system0system0 you wouldn’t memorize all historic facts while memorizing all the formulas of quantum mechanics.

Whoever the 1 guy who dislike this video must be an anti-science freak

@system0system0 He is one of the founders of string theory, of course he understands this subject more than others

There is a limitation of time, but also of capacity. The human mind has quite limited capabilities.

@Xwowplaya it went up to 11,000 now

@RJMooreII limited capaity for learning not correct dude,
i would say limited time for learning.
i need more time to understand it all
[Translate]
why is this man so smart . Is he some alien?

@Xwowplaya Well, it’s pretty practical for most people to not know particle physics. What would they do with it? People have a limited capacity for learning, even if we were all geniuses. Specialization and simple interest prevents everyone from being a kickboxing physicist historian stunt writer. If we tried, we’d just suck at everything.
