Prof Julius Sumner Miller

2 comments
It's been my pleasure of late that I'm getting opened to a very necessary scientific outlook, i.e, in the form of "seeing" physics in action everywhere. In this context I ran into several of the blogs of scientists{ students and Profs included} who have poured out their cynicism about the sorry state of science in India and teaching in particular, read and saw more about Feynman. Nevertheless, what I noticed in all, is their enthusiasm to do something "off the track" like us. Something not for the sake of it but for the love towards it.

To this end, I would like to draw your attention to this one of a kind Professor by name Prof Julius Sumner Miller. I don't know how many of you already know him but i ran into him only this day and thought that you ought to know him for his infectious love towards Physics. He has featured in cadbury Dairy Milk chocolate ads {which by the way, I -- guess that even you--would not have seen it}. I accidentally happen to watch his demonstration of Bernoulli's principle and went Eureka!! {not the Archimedes way!!!} So, I would request you all to watch his demonstration of Bernoulli's principle part 1 and 2 -- and a lot more--for the fun of it-- and to know how things work. You can find one of his cadbury ad here.
