  You can tell he&apos;s serious because he doesn&apos;t shock himself in this video.

  &quot;I couldn&apos;t be happier to be wrong and learn something new.&quot; -an important moral fiber rare these days.

  Always express you thaughts. Just &nbsp;because he wrote 15 science books doesn&apos;t mean he Is right, or that he Is smarter than you.

  Bad probing is almost always the number one source of error in electronics experiments. Kudos Mehdi

  And this is why science is based not on authority, but on peer review.

  If you don&apos;t understand anything, it&apos;s fine. He is not explaining it you, he is explaining it to Walter Lewin XD

  I am surprised that Dr. Lewin did not consider the mutual coupling of the coils with each other in his experiments. In his test moving the probing wires around should change his results. I could not find anything wrong with your analysis. Dr. Lewin seems to verify his hypothesis through the demonstrated experiment which appears to be flawed in how it is setup and yields an incorrect result. First step would be to correct the setup before we even discuss the issue at hand.

  Hi, I&apos;m a theoretical physicist. I don&apos;t think Prof. Lewin was completely wrong, but I don&apos;t think your reasoning is wrong either. I agree with your calculations, but I think you are not applying Kirchhoff&apos;s law as is usually understood from the physicist&apos;s point of view. One may argue that Prof. Lewin is also wrong for the same matter when he says that Kirchhoff&apos;s law is sometimes wrong. It is never wrong: it&apos;s just that it does not apply on certain systems. In the end the problem, as I perceive it, is a semantic and not a physics one.<br><br>What I am certain, though, is that Lewin proved himself to act rude and arrogant in that comment box. Your objection was completely legit and he had no right to call you an uneducated.
