She started making science videos while working as a mobile app developer at General Electric. [11] She started her channel Physics Girl on October 21, 2011. [12] In an interview with Grant Sanderson, she said that some of the earlier videos were later deleted from the channel. [9] Cowern has also participated in various events as a speaker.
Walter Hendrik Gustav Lewin (born January 29, 1936) is a Dutch astrophysicist and retired professor of physics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.Lewin earned his doctorate in nuclear physics in 1965 at the Delft University of Technology and was a member of MIT's physics faculty for 43 years beginning in 1966 until his retirement in 2009.
Produced starting in 1982, the videos make heavy use of historical dramatizations and visual aids to explain physics concepts. The latter were state of the art at the time, incorporating almost eight hours of computer animation created by computer graphics pioneer Jim Blinn along with assistants Sylvie Rueff [3] and Tom Brown at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
Fourteen alumni of the department and nine current or former faculty members (two of whom were also students at MIT) have won the Nobel Prize in Physics.The Department of Physics was born when MIT founder William Barton Rogers proposed in 1865 to bring their Mens et Manus philosophy to life by creating a new laboratory of physics and mechanics ...
YouTube was founded as a video sharing platform in 2005 and is now the most visited website in the US as of 2019. [1] Almost immediately after the site's launch, educational institutions, such as MIT OpenCourseWare and TED, were using it for the distribution of their content.
MinutePhysics is an educational YouTube channel created by Henry Reich in 2011. The channel's videos use whiteboard animation to explain physics-related topics. Early videos on the channel were approximately one minute long. [2] As of March 2024, the channel has over 5.7 million subscribers.
