This is probably my favorite lecture so far. It's so cool to have the parents show up. Grossman is super entertaining and educational. Also, this one is full of material I've never learned before. Thanks.

I ve been wztching the 20 first Introduction to Solid state chemistry from Sadoway ... this man looks way nicer

[@D3vilman95]

Am i the only one who cant stand that he cant wipeclean the boards properly inbetween writings. Give the man some water

FIRST! I'd like to thank my parents, without them, I couldn't have had this achievement.

The cast iron elbow immersed in liquid nitrogen - I missed what was going on in that demonstration, and how it related to the frying pan. Anyone know?

Why does the direct exitation result in distinct lines? Aren''t the atoms in the anode sitting in a metal lattice, so that the electrons have a continuous band of energy levels to get excited to?

[@ahmedhassansaleh1995]

I did not understand what he meant by the other school story if some one could explain it please

[@urrdurr3714]

The "other school down the street" is Harvard, he's poking fun at Harvard students since parents from both schools will be meeting later

[@_Be_Still]

Wait!. The students brought their parents to the lecture? For real?
