[@professorboltzmann5709]

[@darkemperor2286]

[@borisbryant.007]

A lot of sacrifice behind the scene for this guy to get a better life

[@DANGJOS]

[@chrisallen9509]

my name is Alex Rodriguez, I'm hispanic, and I'm also interested in pursuing physics (coincidences are a funny thing). Except I didn't apply to MIT because I'm not smart enough lol

[@elnorton7113]

interesting, i never heard casimir force before

[@kaushaltimilsina7727]

The casimir forces are indeed very interesting.

[@Rainbow7099]

I have a question is the MITES program hard to get into, with average grades, not horrible but not perfect.

[@curryeater259]

because Einstein was in Germany and he had gone to graduate school at the age of 17.

[@ebaychatter0]

Einstein didn't go to MIT

[@terry_tamali]

[@macmos1]

You are entitled to your opinion.

not saying physics is boring, its the opposite in fact, this way he presented (aka marketed) his life and of physics scared more people than inspired.

[@rintheviil2159]

🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@enigma9306]

Can you not just keep all the students in one group? Why are there segregated programmes between minorities and what I can only assume are white people/white males?

[@TheTruthCommonSense]

sry but he just made physics really boring, this video just stomped and slapped physics in the face
