Also, when I was 10 I asked my older brother to teach me to skateboard. The first thing he tried to teach me was to start moving from a stationary position. He had me stand on the back of the board with one foot so it tilted upwards, and then slam my other foot down at the front of the board and apparently that was meant to make it move forward. So on my first try I slammed my foot down too hard, the board slid out from under me as I was propelled forward and my face hit the hard pavement. I never skated again.

One of the best explanations of the Schrödinger equation I've seen.

Why I fail socially: "Hi, Im Gary, nice to meet you! So the Schrödinger equation..."

Having just finished my degree in Mathematics just under a year ago, I'm finding it really therapeutic to come back and learn about topics (I struggled with) without the pressure of having to learn them for my exams/dissertations etc. It means I can enjoy the basic ideas and theories without getting to bogged down in the really hard maths.

Great video, thank you!

Been teaching advanced high school Chemistry & Physics for 20+ years - the BEST 10-minute explanation I have found! My students absolutely love this explanation. THANKS for posting! Fantastic work here!!!

"So here's the derivation if you don't believe me"
Oh trust me, I believe you

7:48 the most beautiful and relatable animation I have ever witnessed.

Me:- Lets understand schrondinger equation
Schrondinger:- I didn't get it how will you ?

This video was better than my entire semester of quantum physics. Thank you.

Lost me five minutes in. I am improving.

[deepakmecheri]

Can't say I'm not ashamed of the fact that I learned more from this 10min video than an entire semester. You are awesome.

Once you showed that Schrödinger Equation is equivalent to E = KE + PE, I suddenly got it all clear... Thank you a lot ☺

[adilsanadi]

This is how our professors must make subject interesting so that everyone can understand and see the beauty of physics❤

6:17 "Here's the derivation..." Thank you for posting that. I could have paused, and looked it up, but you showed your work, so we didn't have to. That's a helpful touch.

[GraemePayneMarine]

Yes, I understand I "better" now. BUT, I really wish you had been teaching when I was in university ... about 50 years ago! I didn't _really_ learn a lot until I was well immersed into my eventual career in electronics - when I had to do quick mind-refreshes in order to do the work.
Thank you for this series!

I love how excited you get about all this. It's wonderful to see people who get so excited about what they know. We need teachers with this level of excitement.

Finally graduating with my physics degree and I love how for the first time ever I can watch a youtube physics video and actually know everything, even the derivations and solutions. Fellsgoodman

Thank you so much for including the "here's the calculation if you don't believe me" part! It's something my solid state physics' teacher didn't tell us and it was never pointed out that clearly. Now it's crystal clear!

[Nossairito]

Man your explaination is just sooo convenient to get an intuition about a topic and make it click in my head. Sure it doesn't have the technical nitty-gritty but getting a gut feeling and a logical comprehension of a subject is the best gateway to wanting to check out the details. Thank you so much for all the info, you are doing such a wonderful service to so many people
