These lectures are great, they’re the physics class I wish I had in High School, lots of demonstrations, concentration on concepts, real world applications, and formulas are offered, but not required, if you are interested in the math. But I’m not sure I would take his nutritional or political advice, which he does offer.

In this episode he offers the most plausible explanation (or cover story) for what the Roswell crash was really about. It was a balloon carrying radar reflectors and microphone to a level where atomic explosions could be detected. There is an altitude where a cold air/warm air/cold air boundary creates a sound conducting channel. This allowed the US government a way to detect Soviet atomic explosions. It was a technique used only for four years, until it was supplanted by seismographic detection.

Physics 10: Physics for Future Presidents. Spring 2006. Professor Richard A. Muller. The most interesting and important topics in … all » physics, stressing conceptual understanding rather than math, with applications to current events.

One of his most well known proposals is the Nemesis hypothesis suggesting that the sun could have an as yet undetected companion star, whose perturbations of the Oort cloud and subsequent effects on the flux of comets entering the inner solar system could explain an apparent 26 million year periodicity in extinction events.

But what of the noble sacrifice of the elite dwarf microphone aligner corps lost in that crash. Few remain who witnessed those gray anoxias forms, broken on the desert floor. Who speaks for them. The truth is out there!
