[@skyze747]

probably one of the most clear and well explained video I've seen through my physics degree

[@pkdudejunction2542]

right

[@anirudhrai1248]

Phenomenal explanation. This is how physics should be taught. Really awesome!

[@PhysicsHigh]

Thankyou for the compliment.

[@tonytor5346]

Beautiful! As a doctoral level scientist I compliment you on your very clear model. I wish when in School,and undergraduate someone would have taught me that way! It was mostly throwing concepts in very poorly planned lectures & the students were very frequently told " you'll eventually will figure it out"

[@craigfitzsimmons8412]

This is very useful for NSW HSC students in particular. The similation in the second half of the video is particularly good, and helps clarifiy some of the abstract concepts associated with band theory. Bravo!

[@stanbillington814]

Maybe the best educational YT video I've seen. Also, a great voice you have.

[@justinfoto]

@5:55 cracks open a soda can really enjoyed this video. especially that marble analogy at the end. great video!

[@PhysicsHigh]

+Justin Huang haha - a slight microphone distortion, but yes, sounds like a soda can!

[@debojyotiroy39]

Justin Ha ha

[@VaughnCamacho]

cracking a cold one with the boys

[@Rajesh_Antil]

lmao u made my day!

[@michaelivanhaileka9694]

Justin Hunag hahahah you never let anything slide pass you

[@daysiannekessymendesisidor7311]

The best explication that I ever had about the topic! Congrats! Great👏🏼👏🏼

[@BaldurKhr]

Most elegant explanation, using the marbles ! Thank you sir.

[@sebastianvbb]

great general explenation. I'm going over Bloch's theorem now and find this very useful to develop a more visual concept!

[@johnnyroy9830]

*Such simple, intuitive and creative explanation ! Thank you very much...!!!*

[@brandynskulina7074]

In my last semester of college studying mechanical engineering and this still helped tremendously, thanks!

[@Baderbq]

The best explanation for the band theory I've ever seen. The metal sheet analogy is a very well thought way to explain the theory. Thank you

[@PhysicsHigh]

Thanks for the positive feedback.

[@qingyanggu4650]

What a great way to illustrate band theory. Thank you so much!

[@shammaheric8743]

Great explanation ! watching it the night before my chemistry final exam and its given me a much better understanding! Thank you !

[@manriqueorellanarios6986]

Wow you really have a gift to teach physics, I have been struggling so much with this Band Theory and this video helped me so much!!! Muchas gracias!!

[@surrinderkumar1635]

I am from India and I like his video . You are right. Actually i study in 12th class ,ya there is some hard English word but I understood all.

[@liamexter]

Great video! The marble analogy was a nice touch.

[@jonathanstevens9770]

Great video ! definitely helps to understand the band theory better!

[@aryanbhattarai6188]

I have been searching for this kinda explanation. Amazing job

[@kasthuritragu7784]

helped me understand this band theory very clearly. Thank you!

[@naomibarretto6325]

You explained this so beautifully. Thank you so much.

[@TheAhmedMAhmed]

great tutorial, clear and well-explained!

[@klmoves]

great explanation. grateful for this video!

[@aryaabhishek9535]

Sir, awesome example..... Very new and innovative

[@mohitbhangale2755]

this video cleared all the cocepts related to band theory..thanks sir

[@orangekangrufrmdnmrk]

Thank you very much you don’t realize how much you just helped me right now

[@indhujag5920]

Amazing explanation sir , thank you so much🙏🏻 . Need a teacher like for all subjects 😊🤩

[@aspektn.5066]

Seen once. Shall be seen again. Great vid.

[@fawadfaisal3650]

fabulous job brother.... u made it soo easy for anyone to understand.

[@PhysicsHigh]

Thanks, please share ;-)

[@vishank7]

Great work! The analogy is really helpful. 😄

[@ashiyamohra3403]

thank you so much sir.........it helped a lot!! excellent explanation

[@madmess6867]

One of the best explanation , I hope people will find this explanation

[@noormuhsin4399]

This was a phenomenal and unrealistically good explanation Bravo sir!!

[@Cube2deth]

Sir, this was an amazing explanation thank you so much

[@alyaaazmi7847]

Think you so much sir!! I’m taking my A-levels now and we’re currently doing Quantum Physics so this video helped me a lot!!! I understand Band Theory better now so thank you very very much!!

[@tanviprincess2175]

Me too! I'm currently doing this chapter. It's very interesting.

[@Kasadilla1]

Wow this helps so much. Reading the textbook made it so much more confusing. Im more of a visual learner, so that helped a lot.

[@senbonsakura2353]

Awesome explanation. Liked your video and effort!

[@mock805]

Fucking wow moment I just had. I am a junior in college and I was reluctant to click on the video because it said HS but this has helped me so much

[@vaishnavisharma7767]

Sir I don,t really comment on videos based on some teaching topics but your work is too amazing that it's worth appreciation. Thank you.

[@PhysicsHigh]

Thankyou. That’s a nice compliment.

[@sussyuchiha5780]
