Walter Lewin did a lot more than just that.

- aston 18y agoAs entertaining as his lectures were, it was still pretty easy to leave with barely any more knowledge than you had going in. Especially as the topics got more complex. I had him for my Waves class, and kids found it to be incredibly hard (and to require lots of on-your-own learning) even while Lewin was jumping around the room and making cool things happen with light and sound.
