Ri please, give this man another chance to talk more about others subjects. This lecture was amazing.
@AMB-FM
I watch a lot of physics and cosmology lectures, and this is one of the best I've ever seen. David's enthusiasm and knowledge are brilliant.
@ishantishant8630
This man speaks with such an enthusiasm that he doesn't seem to be a theoretical physicist......he seems like the student whose mind is still wandering with questions and doubts on the concepts of physics ......the way he speaks is really amazing and the thing he did with the magnets in the middle of the lecture was something we all did in our childhood and he still has that energy and curiosity about something is really deeply hidden.
@rosemars8
I planned to only watch the first 10 min or so but got hooked throughout the end of the talk. What a nice a clear introduction of the topic by telling and combining all small, meaningful stories together. Just one of the best lectures I can think of......!!!!!!!

How I, a student of Persian literature living in Iran, was fascinated by this guy's lecture. I'm truly astonished that I actually understood most parts of this, and really, really enjoyed it. Lots of love from Iran. Thank you sir. You truly deserve Faraday's throne. ❤️
@iumiforgot
This has got to be the MOST concise explanation I have ever heard of such a convoluted subject
@vancouverterry9142
Ahhhhh, what a great teacher! Men like Professor Tong can lift up an age! And to have Royal Institution lectures by such brilliant individuals available free online is really the height of civilization.
@Jiminio21
The best 1 hour i had on YouTube. I studied mathematics and finance but my big love is physics. That session has broaden my horizons toward my big love. It made my whole understanding of the subject solid and explained a lot of issues that I had on my mind toward it. Physics is the past the present and the future. Thank you sir

13:01 "It doesn't matter how old you are, or how many degrees in physics you have, there's something magical about this." Great science requires a childlike curiosity.
@stephenh.litman2684
This is the first lecture to really turn my head around on physics. There have been many more since, but this is the one that started it all for me. So, of course, I completely recommend it. Thank you to David Tong, and to those at the Royal Institution and Youtube who make lectures like this available.
@brandonhargis4104
This is actually the best and most comprehensible for the laymen, explanation of physics, that I have ever seen, in 3 decades of trying to explain this to students and myself.
@android_gamer9692
Literally, this type of explanation is what I want from my lecturers, not being serious but enjoying every moment of teaching about Physics.
@ergbudster3333
This proves what I've always believed strongly since university: that a really smart person can explain things. A smart person who really understands things can explain things. And even the things that can't be explained can be made tantalizing and invite us to learn more. Wonderful lecture. Well, as so many are on the RI channel.
@w0mblemania
There is something magnificent, magical, haunting about seeing someone deliver a lecture at the same desk as Faraday. Between Faraday and now, there have been tens of millions of deaths in war, the Holocaust, untold suffering. But there is also an unbroken chain of scientific discovery.
@young1939
When I took physics as a senior in college in 1963 I became quite fascinated about quantum physics. I knew I didn't have the math skills to handle it. I blamed my 5th grade teacher in a one room school who had me try to solve a math problem in front of everyone, then ridiculed me when I failed. I stayed with the biological sciences instead. Although this lecture was outstanding, it made me realize I probably should thank that teacher. Quantum physics is still way beyond what I could hope to understand, but this lecture comes as close as I have ever been. 👍👍👍
@ola5025
I love all the energy and the enthusiasm that this professor engages in explaining in such a charming way some of the most difficult concepts of physics. Brilliant! I wish that there were more professionals like him, with all his pasion for knowledge and his desire to share his knowledge with other people! A big, big THANK YOU for this excellent lesson! Best of luck!
@tomclark6854
This is about as clear an explanation of the subject matter as one could hope for a non-scientist like myself. Thank you David Tong.
@IngVasiu
Personally, I'm going to consider this video as the best lecture I've ever seen.
@balashish
This is by far the most simple yet information packed lecture I have seen till date. ESPECIALLY, the similarities between EM and other fields - despite being interested in this for long, the simple analogy made me understand so much more. Thank you. And please keep up the good work!
