Statistical Mechanics Lecture 10

(June 3, 2013) Professor Susskind continues the discussion of phase transitions beginning with a review of the Ising model and then introduces the physics of the liquid-gas phase transition.

Originally presented in the Stanford Continuing Studies Program.

I really wish there were more videos! The quality of these lectures is much better than my professor's and I'm quite envious of the people who were able to finish out their semester with Susskind. I wish my professor were as enthusiastic about teaching as him.

Thank you Stanford University and Prof. Susskind for providing these teachings of immense value. They help make the world a better place.

[MonikaSanoriamonu]

I find these lectures really helpful. Thank for this.
but the sound of this video is not clear and the noise disturb a lot.

[georgemorris]

Absolutely enjoyed these and all the other series of the Susskind lectures. Magnificent! Thank you.

[tasosfitsialos]

Great thanks to Leonard Susskind and Stanford University for this really great series of lectures. Leonard Susskind is indeed great scientist, researcher and instructor!

[samudra_dasgupta]

I don't have the audacity to praise Leonard but I will still say he is brilliant not just in research but also in teaching! Who knew one could understand ising models and phase transitions so simply ...

i really would be helped if there were english subtitles just to be sure if I were listening correct.

[SalvatoreIndelicato]

in this lesson we are missing subtitles. You can insert them? Thank you

[vitorbarbosa]

And that is what great didactics looks like!

[pedroakjr]

The part about submarines hits hard everytime.

[petergreen]

❤Thank you very much Professor and class.

why energy is twice for each bond breakage? like a flip is costing 2 times of J

[Spectacurl]

I loved all this ten lectures. I expected they were with a highest level but Susskind experience adds a lot. Sadly the audio in this one is terrible. I understand English pretty well but this one is challenging for a non naive speaker D:

10:39 Did some guy said "Bullshit"?

[marcinkufel]

8:35 since energy is describer in representation within distant i j why not to trade energy of the "point" as a representation of distant between its sides or edges of field or something, since energy apparently carry by photons (ad least according to wiki) it sort of point, and it came just like that, wow

[georgemorris]

It occurs to me that if it were the submarines, in the analogy, that could nucleate submarines, rather than the fluid, and if they produced a certain number per unit time that were to some degrees similar to the originating submarine, then one could perhaps imagine an evolutionary process that would gradually home to the neutral buoyancy value.

I thought that the 8 links aré. Because e drawn 8 vectors min. 10

[yoxnod]

I have watched this video before million of views

[Deoxippus]

If only he knew brilliant minds in later centuries would still be saying things like "We've done our duty to Boltzmann." Really sad story.
