    0:15 This is a bit more complicated. In the beginning, the ball may yet be above / right on the surface, and we already apply a large force to it. Yet the buoyant force is still zero, because there is no submerged volume.

    Very well explained. However, I didn't quite get the final conclusion. If the equation applies to circles, ellipses, parabolas and hyperbolas, why are the planets orbiting in ellipses? He mentioned the angular speed, but can someone explain it further? I think I didn't get the "that's why earth is orbiting in ellipses".

    Surprisingly, this was in our exam back then. I was the only one able to answer correctly, means I have 1 point higher than everyone else in the room making me the top scorer. It's about density, mass, volume and water displacement. Not the expanding of the gaps of the atoms when liquified. Also, the sea is composed of salt not freshwater.

    To make the change of variables u = iv rigorous, I think one has to consider contour integrals. As an alternative, I recently solved a similar integral (int sqrt(x^2 + 1)) using the identity sinh^2 + 1 = cosh^2. Please note that T(x) should point "in the same direction as" T(x + dx). In total, you managed with only one mistake, which makes this frankly the best physics video I ever watched, including many by distinguished professors.

    Thanks Elliot, for explaining the Principle of Least Action by using Quantum Mechanics, that last part of the video was so important for visualising all the math you did before. I’m actually mind blown. Now I have a better understanding how the epsilon proof before manifests in actual physics, because before all I could see is formulas and kinda had to accept it to be true. But you actually did it. HUGE thanks, subbed today!

    Until today I thought F=ma (though as F=dp/dt) was the most fundamental thing in physics, and was very concerned that quantum mechanics' blurriness seemed like it would be in violation. Interesting to learn how it can be derived from the Principle of Least Action which shows up in all the theories.

    Thanks for your interesting video. Area under a curve is often equivalent to energy. Buckling of an otherwise flat field shows a very rapid growth of this area to a point. If my model applies, it may show how the universe’s energy naturally developed from the inherent behavior of fields. Your subscribers might want to see this 1:29 minutes video showing under the right conditions, the quantization of a field is easily produced. The ground state energy is induced via Euler’s contain column analysis. Containing the column must come in to play before over buckling, or the effect will not work. The sheet of elastic material “system”response in a quantized manor when force is applied in the perpendicular direction. Bonding at the points of highest probabilities and maximum duration( ie peeks and troughs) of the fields “sheet” produced a stable structure when the undulations are bonded to a flat sheet that is placed above and below the core material. Some say this model is no different than plucking guitar strings. You can not make structures with vibrating guitar strings or harmonic oscillators. ruclips.net/video/wrBsqiE0vG4/видео.htmlsi=waT8lY2iX-wJdjO3 At this time in my research, I have been trying to describe the “U” shape formed that is produced before phase change. In the model, “U” shape waves are produced as the loading increases and just before the wave-like function shifts to the next higher energy level. Over-lapping all frequencies together using Fournier Transforms, can produce a “U” shape or square wave form. Wondering if Feynman Path Integrals for all possible wave functions could be applicable here too? If this model has merit, seeing the sawtooth load verse deflection graph produced could give some real insight in what happened during the quantum jumps between energy levels. The mechanical description and white paper that goes with the video can be found on my LinkedIn and RUclips pages. You can reproduce my results using a sheet of Mylar* ( the clear plastic found in some school essay folders. Seeing it first hand is worth the effort!

    Thank you!!! I was just thinking about this kind of tutorial!! I learned that Uranus was discovered through mathematics before it was located visually and I wondered how. How did the math look? There’s others too. For example, Kepler realized the orbits were elliptical… how? How, by only looking trough a telescope were they able to figure out the precession of Mercury? I was thinking if I had enough money someday I would pay a physics instructor to make a tutorial about those things. This is a step in the right direction. Thanks for this!
