Now I wish I had him as my teacher, that is inspiring and unfair that Gov’t doesn’t pay enough to attract more such talent. pic.twitter.com/Uuj2KfeEL1

I hate physics but this guy reminds me of my physics professor who actually made the subject really fun. Bless the hearts of passionate and inspiring professors like them

That’s a damn good professor and he can run pretty fast for being in his 70s
