The Physics behind four amazing demonstrations

The Physics behind four amazing demonstrations

Wow I would definitely love having a professor like this guy. When he says “get your attention he really means GET YOUR ATTENTION.” Seriously, I have a weak tolerance for looking at these sorts of crazy /painful looking “demonstrations” how much better can it get to show a physics demonstration by actually acting it out yourself. I mean just looking at the little pictures on the right makes me cringe, but since he knew exactly what he was doing then by all means more power to him haha. Everything that was demonstrated really reminded me of something you see on Ripley’s believe it or not or Guinness book of world records.

The walking on broken glass is a simple act of demonstrating weight distribution. Obviously he did his research and clearly knew what he was doing. The Nails on the bed were like what those guys do in India I figured if those magicians knew how to do it then what more a physicist. All Ii could say is it definitely got my attention.
