Technical Dave 3 – The Bare Basics

Analyzing the course load of a one year art course. It’s as lame as you’d expect.

In this lecture, Professor Leonard Susskind of the Stanford University Physic’s Department discusses dark energy, the tendency of it to tear atoms apart, and…

Oh my god,? gouache. x__x That medium is pain.
“Some? of these poses took FOREVEEEEE-!” XD Had me rollin’!
I must watch all your videos before I go to art college,? these are the best.
uggh 3D desgin. We have that crap at OCAD. Its? called Form and Structure. Its from Hell
oh god its so sad. i LAUGHED so hard at this stuff, but its sad because my school’s art program was like this for at least 2 of the years. its TERRIBLE. i had? to switch around the program and add an animation minor just to get useful skills. -__-
It’s reassuring? to know other people’s experiences and expectations of Art School were as lame as mine.
That? ending.
As a mechanical engineer that Industrial? design brought back bad memories from board drafting
I’m in art fundamentals right now and it’s scary how? close this is. Fucking 2D Design gouache bull shit, atleast my teacher lets me do it in phoboshop sometimes but holy crap. Lol didn’t have the same experience meeting people you did though, this is my second college experience so I just bit the bullet and walked up to random people I thought looked nice and asked about their interests until I met someone who I thought was cool.
I studied industrial design and that last part with? those diagrams had me dying….goddamned ellipses!
o goosh is this what is waiting for me if? i go to art school urgalaljasldka
Well.. the “draw what you see in your head with the music” thing isn’t so bad, I’ve done that? a few times on my own time.
0:21 that thing is? a t-square. You do it for technical drawing. I used to do technical drawing at school. Basically, awesome for making horizontal straight lines.You also use it to guide your set squares, which means you can do vertical lines! Well that and some isometric drawings or whatever…
I learned all of this in our art classes back on highschool… Pretty weird o_o
But I can agree that some of these stuff were pretty annoying… You just want to make art! But I? envy you, atm I have zero inspiration to make any art.
Yes.? That last one sounds about right.
This is almost exactly my college experience in Fine Arts. Right there. You’re brilliant?
oh man T-Squares.?
Fuck? you I love gouache haha
oh how o love? to watch this
Wow, here in Brazil all kids use guache? on their paintings
God Imagining Systems looks fun what the hell is wrong with? me.
“I will know if you use a photo reference”. I heard that one more than once. LOL?
Jeez, I got the same lecture from my teachers about black (funny thing I am starting to incorporate “black” in my work after studying the old masters). I wish I? had the money to go to an atelier instead of a stupid JR. art college. It was a waste of time and money. I learned much more on my own.
I never understood why the forced us to use gouache eithe (even back in 99)…in design class all my stuff looked like a Priester Matches ad from the turn of the 20th century…For some strange reason I liked it initially but the? crap dried too fast and you couldn’t blend with it…it did force me to mix my colors beforehand.
It was like painting with nail polish. Never used it after leaving school and yes, they should have known we would never use it professionally or otherwise.
ROTFLMAO!! I just? got some flashbacks of my art school days.
These guys are inventing irrational forces(dark? energy, dark matter, irrational army of subatomic particles,black holes etc and they also bend space-time too, from two hundred years.
in simple they have complicated their own explanations with these lies and charlatanism.
That’s how you get un? Stupid, stupid.
peh-pendiculah?
To be onest he is real good teacher. Turning complex things to real? simple (making it dumb) is high skill. Explaining something complex in a complex way is easy. What hard is turning complex things into a “cosmological constant” dumb level,requires high amount of experience and capeability.
Btw : the students having problem with perpendicular A is the mistake that the both examples are different and the perpendicular A is example specific. there are two different A not equal 🙂
No such? thing as a stupid question, etc.
Big rip…ps!?
You can actually learn from these videos if you have the mathematical background…sometimes easier than just through books alone …ideally both…but he is a? great teacher…it’s nice to see someone of this knowledge and intellect is human though ..gives hope for the rest of us
To say that the “father” of string theory (read: modern particle physics) knows nothing about dark energy is quite a statement.. However, from what he’s? saying the expansion is increasing, as the repulsive force grows with distance.
You’re supposed to follow this lecture together with 2-inch thick books on the side. You? think Bachelor’s or Master’s degrees at universities is just a matter of watching some youtube clips?
This isn’t meant to teach anyone on Youtube, it’s meant to entice people into becoming interested in the subject. Once, you select these subjects seriously, you’ll learn everything in-between.
You might wanna? look up on the difference between in-depth and introductory learning.
The target audience is the students sitting in the room. If it goes? too fast, then nobody will remember squat. Pretty standard in school.
aah, the first? 15 minutes are not part of the lecture series.
Maybe flag that in the comments?
I’m a little confused as to how this follows on from lecture 1.
Is it just “that was Newton & Gauss, now here is an implication of Einstein,? but i’m not showing you where it comes from, just look at this”?
Exactly!?
what is the target audience of this lecture? I don’t mean to be a dick but the lecture could be a little faster. ?
For all of you who? say these students ask stupid questions:
“We must know. We will know.” – David Hilbert
Asking questions is never stupid. Not asking questions for fear of sounding stupid. Now, that’s really stupid.
Here we see a Cal student who? got rejected by Stanford and is still somewhat upset.
Haha I felt like pointing that out too. Thumbs up for? you.
I checked this movie since I got honestly worried about the economy and had no clue how to cope. Moolah? does not always mean anything any longer. Therefore I thought I would conduct some analysis and found Goldiverse. I’m certainly so lucky, I can change my money from cash to all the major currencies, to any precious metal any moment I like. The state can go and take a jump for all I care. Just Yahoo and bing it Goldiverse.
which is funny, because only a few minutes after? calling dark energy a particle he says it is not a particle.
Dark energy is not only important across ‘the entire universe’ this is so wrong i don’t even know where to start… but lets start with the fact that we? can measure the expansion between other galaxies that are relatively close to us and nowhere near the ‘entire universe’ in distance away.
We don’t know if dark? energy is a particle or a property of the fabric of the universe. Conflating it with being a ‘particle’ is intellectually dishonest.
I hate to say this about a physics professor but he knows absolutely nothing about how dark energy works. Calling it the ‘cosmological constant’ is wrong. Conflating the New York Times with peer reviewed journals is absurd. And he hasn’t given any reasons why either the big rip wouldn’t work, and we? don’t even know what dark energy is yet nor if it plays nice with the speed of light. We KNOW that the expansion has increased; we simply don’t know enough to make these assertions yet.
Your mother is so fat that? the escape velocity at her surface exceeds 3*10^8 m/s.
