MIT is purging Walter Lewin lectures magnet:?xt=urn:btih:22CAF77AD145C64

>>636477
Who is this and why should I care?

>>636481

Walter Lewin was perhaps the greatest physics lecturer at MIT. As part of the OCW program, his lectures were put online, showing his fun filled passion to the course, and his intuitive methods. Due to recent allegations, MIT has ceased contact with Lewin and is purging all the lectures to cut ties. It's important that these lectures survive somewhere, as they are such a valuable asset for anyone interested in higher level physics.

Wow thanks for posting.
I've seen his lectures a few times and they are amazing.

>>636482

what are the "allegations"?

>>636494
I am also curious.

>>636494
>>636495

>On December 8, 2014, MIT announced that it had determined that Lewin engaged in online sexual harassment of an online MITx learner in violation of MIT's policies.[1] As a consequence, MIT revoked Lewin's professor emeritus title[2] and indefinitely removed Lewin’s online lectures from online learning platforms.[3]

>>636498
That's a shame. Something like that should affect him, but not his works. His lectures are still good.

>>636498
>>636513

Yeah. If what MIT says they discovered was true, Lewin's an asshole, but that doesn't mean his lectures are wrong.

>>636513
>>636515
Of course, but MIT still can't publicly support the guy after that.

Anyway, I'm downloading and will seed double.

>>636477
This PC bullshit is essentially becoming a Fascist reality. Live our way or be expunged. Fucking freaks.

>>636477
Dear diary, today OP was actually a pretty cool guy, thanks man!

Someone going to seed this?

>>636587
>This PC bullshit is essentially becoming a Fascist reality.
I'm pretty sure avoiding being associated with sexual harassment is neither "political correctness" nor fascism.
Seriously.

>Sexual harassment
What did he do? Bully some disgusting trannie?

>>636587
Where is MIT infringing on Walter Lewin's right to free speech? Indeed, how _can_ MIT, a non-Government entity, infringe Walter Lewin's right to free speech?

MIT is not obliged to give Walter Lewin a platform to say anything at all, even if what he is saying with that platform is unrelated, completely, to the reason they are removing his words.

>>636817
Where did that anon mention the right to free speech?

>>636819
The part where they attributed it to a style of government.

He didn't even teach in person anymore, he was charged for "online" sexual harassment.

Seeding.

>>637169

He probably used some triggering term like "woman" instead of "womyn" or, god forbid, a word like fireman, instead of fireperson.

we must be constantly on guard against such sexism!

>>637400
>He was probably fired for some nonsense reason rather than the actual thing he was accused of.
Right, obviously.
I suppose you have some proof of that?

>>637492
The proof is left to the reader as an exercise.

It is not that it was removed because of accusations, it is because 3 female students made claims, MIT investigated and found they were right, and THEN flushed his stuff from the internet and stripped him of his shit. So MIT isnt just kneejerking without researching the issue

>>637217
and how would that look like?
actual response, pls, no faggotry

>>637976
Don't tell me you never heard of cybering?

Do you think harassment must be physical? No, words can be harassment as well, and surprise surprise, you can transmit words online!

why does this topic attract so many trolls?

>>638858
its not SJW if it is founded. It would be retarded if he would get purged on some claims that werent checked out. But they were. The only stupid part is that they not just kick him out but also remove his old lectures.

And aside from that MIT doesnt want to lose out on some daughters of big names. If one of those brats is extremely easily butthurt having a teacher like this might make them miss out.

i think in the future science education will be divided into two along the gender lines. Women can have their politically correct versions ala "classical mechanics 101: why men are pigs" while the statistically correct, possibly triggering courses where one must use their brain for other than a ruminating resentment will be reserved for the male population. I just dread the day when the transgender black president decides to select female engineers for any kind of building project.

>>638913
>why is this bridge collapsing, doesn't gravity know it is made by a proud womyn and destroying it triggered her imaginary childhood rape?

and the families of those who died in the collapse would be sued for rape.

I will seed this shit forever, lewin's lectures helped get me through AP physics

>>636477
Once I have it, I will seed it forever.
The courses are great;
Lewin shall never die.

Does this cover anything relevant to physical chemistry? Like newton physics and stuff?

>>638978
8.01 covers Newtonian mechanics
8.02 covers Electricity and Magnetism
8.03 covers Vibrations and Waves

>>638979
does 8.01 derive the laws from with formulae? I find that the hardest.

>>638981
It doesn't derive F=ma if that's what you're asking,
most equations are a given since this is a freshman course but several are derived from the postulated equations Newton worked with.

>>638983
Im freshman too but in my physical chemistry course they derive speed and acceleration from displacement and such. The formulation and the limits they put on the integrals dont make sense to me.

>>638984
Those should not be hard things to derive and are exactly the kind of things you will encounter in the first few lectures of 8.01.
I suggest you take it if you feel in need of assistance, Lewin is a great teacher and he explains to you what you should remember and what you should learn to derive on your own.

>>638984
That being said I don't know much about physical chemistry but it seems to be closer to quantum mechanics than classical mechanics. Either way you will need to learn the basic concepts of classical mechanics such as conservation laws in order to do anything related to physics so this course would in any case not be useless and you could just skip through the parts which aren't useful to you.

I don't think I can be of much more help than this, given that I have never taken a course in physical chemistry. I wish you luck in your studies mate. Hope that helps

>>638987
There is a seperate course for quantum mechanics. Physical chemistry is about newtonian physics and how chemicals reaction with eachother under those laws. It mostly consists of the professor whipping out his dick and slapping me across the face with math and shit. And lets just say math isnt my forte

>>638995
Not the guy you were talking with, but they have you take physical chem as a freshman? Where I'm at they have it in 3rd year.

>>636481
He's walter Lewin. He sexes bitches and doesn't affraid of anything

>>638999
Yes, quantum chemistry at 2nd year. Both are subjects many people fail.

Anyone still seeding this now? I don't see many others doing so.

>>639437
Never bothered to seed to begin with.

>>638995
Physics were prerequs for my pchem courses. 1 covered thermodynamics (q, w, U, H, S), thermochemistry, chemical equilibrium and phase behavior, ionic solutions, electrochemistry, and stat mech. Pchem 2 is kinetics and everything quantum a chemist should care about.

MIT could have left the lectures up.

>>636817

>>639437

I'm staying til 10x seeded.

any chance that we could get access to the other materials on the OCW website for these classes? Like the tests/assignments/rubrics/answers?

>>639504

maybe recruit /sci/fags and make our own?

Hey fags,

if you're interested, a guy called exscape made some decent notes in latex for 8.01 and 8.02 when those courses were on edx. Since it's a great refresher when you don;t use this stuff daily, I like to keep them around to browse when I've got some free time.

https://www.scribd.com/serenity3290 - here they are in pdf. You can also find 8.01 source (latex) on github (google exscape), but no 8.02 source sadly.

>>639515

Sweet. thx Anon

Are there any other notable lectures such as Lewin's that anyone has that they're torrenting?

where are the details of the allegations? was this even a fair investigation? "online communication"
wtf i bet they got friendly and start chatting casually, one day it gets flirty and he probably sent her a pic of his dick. oh no lives need to be destroyed instead of just telling him to take a fucking step back.

>>640818
And after it happens three times, we'll just tell him really emphatically to step back. That will teach him! He'll never do it again! That will show women how we treat sexual harassment!

>>640819
cant stand up for myself well enough to deal with a 79 year old man
time to destroy institutions of learning because id rather have others deal with my problems for me. i cant be bothered to learn how to be strong i have an online community for that.
both man and woman are in a crisis of sacrificing decision making to inept systems so they can cower because we are being taught that showing strength means losing your grace. there are no heros anymore, our only heros are victims who survive.

>>636498
Might be true, might not be, but just because the guy's a terrible person doesn't mean you should just remove his shit.

>>636498
The lectures are going to be put back up somewhere. They were just removed from MIT's openCourseware and EDx sites because MIT wants to distance itself from Lewin.

The only things I don't think will be coming back anywhere are the EDx lectures since that was part of a whole "online classroom environment" with user/user and user/teacher interaction and probably also had tutorials and other materials (at least that's how other EDx courses are, I never took one of Lewin's courses on there).

History and experience has taught us time and time again: Guys will do a lot of stupid shit for their dicks.

I was a teacher at a small college in a pretty big city. (Living elsewhere now for unrelated reasons) Me and some other teachers in our department decided to have a end-of-semester party with some students. As things were dying down, we got pretty drunk and one of the girls suggested a drinking game that basically involved a lof of intimate contact while clothed.

Predictably, it boiled down to me making out with this student and she reassured me that she was "going to transfer to another school and you're not my teacher anymore."

It felt great and fun in the moment since this was a certifiably Grade A 100% hottie-hot-hot who also got perfect grades. Felt like a total shit who betrayed everything he was about after I sobered up.

And guess who was still in my department and still in my class when school came back to session (and please before you start, I know she wasn't lying about her intention as she'd talked about it openly for weeks before).

Fortunately, this has a happy ending in that I never even remotely alluded to what happened that day, the witnesses kept their mouths shut, and the girl pulled legitimate work to get a good grade and never asked me for any "favors." For the rest of my time in this college, I decided to not tempt fate again, even when I had another student, who was NOT in my department but certainly thought attractive, actively chase me.

Moral of the story: Guys do stupid shit they know they shouldn't do for their dicks.

It sucks that Lewin's ideas have been thrown out along with his name, but if I'd been fired from my job, I know that I would merit much the same reason because ethics violations are ethics violations and an institution should not fuck around with it. One violation like mine would be bad enough news. Three Reported? Your done.

Pic related insofar as it was a hot busty Asian exchange student.

>>636498
I was nearly charged with sexual harassment because I was in a Skype call with a friend while he sent extremely abusive Facebook messages to a girl he didn't like (as a "joke" of course) and I suggest he call her an "autist".

I don't believe anything I read anymore, there's always a million things going on behind the scenes that we just don't know aboutl

>>639911
They are already throwing one of their best lecturers and one of the smartest people on the planet under the bus for trivial reasons.

Our society used to believe that it was women and not men who were the ones not in control of their sex drives up until live 100 years ago. Nowadays the official line is that this is a ridiculous steriotype. Yet at the same time no one thinks time about turning about and saying men aren't in control of their sexual desires so whenever we hear a story of a man sexually harrasing a woman or a man taking advantage of his position to bang a girl we assume that it probably true.

Allegedly the school was provided with proof. As there has been no actual trial of any sort, there will be no "discovery" and as such, any "proof" of any "crimes" will never be displayed.

* Be useful

Who's saying that letting his previous works continue existing is letting him "get away" with sexual harrassment?

By all means, fire the guy for what he did, but erasing actually educational material which had nothing to do with what he did is dumb as hell.

They're not trying to erase or censor the material though. They're just not hosting it because they don't want to be associated with what he did.

Yes, it is. Surprisingly, the college doesn't want to promote the work of a harasser. They value the monetary contributions of their female students, and not having to pay overtime for their lawyers, more than they appreciate Random Professor #561943 and his poor judgement.

Yeah. Then we'll punish him by taking his title away. Then we'll punish the whole goddamn world by taking probably the best physics lectures in the world offline. That would be totally proportion to what he's done, especially that last bit.

It seems like whenever shit like this happens people somehow find it impossible to separate the person from their work.

anon is implying you need to actually be present to sexually attack anyone, which is true. If I posted a picture of me and my 10" hard dick and you called the cops to say I've 'sexually harassed' you, they'd probably laugh at you (assuming you're a guy). If I did that and you physically saw it, then I'd probably have a problem with the law.

That said, I'm a dude and if Albert Einstein wanted me to suck his dick I'm not sure if I could turn him down. Maybe the only way he could conceptualize the theory of relativity was if he had an 8 year old around his pecker? Lewin is a fucking genius and if he wants you to play with his balls, you'd better let him.

>Did they send the Gestapo around to collect up every copy of the videos in existence
The legal ones, at least. And some of the illegal ones as well.

>Because they have no responsibility to give the guy free hosting
They weren't giving him free hosting any more than the producers of the new Terminator movie were giving Ahnold free hosting.

>especially when it damages their own reputation.
I think you'll find that what they've done is damaging their reputation far more than keeping them up would ever have done.
