Fun Physics

Every week when we are to post a blog I look through the technology news to find something I feel is interesting to talk about. This week I found a topic that I find to be very interesting. If you take a look at other departments on campus at Bloomsburg University, most professors do the traditional classroom lectures and don't really have variety from that. The only professors who like to challenge themselves and push limits of technology are those in the IT department. Well a Netherlands born professor at Cambrige developed a series of lectures that he puts online. His name is Walter Lewin and he is a physics professor. His lectures are interesting but complex for those of us who aren't so inclined in the physics field. Below you will find the link to the article. If you have some time take a look at the video that is on there as well. It's quite interesting... the one minor set back is he is doing a voice interview over his lecture so you can't hear everything, but none the less it's different!
