That particular song has never sounded more appropriate.
@Sashi Peiris LITERALLY!
Love it when some times, things just ... "tune" together!
London's calling? If so, I agree.
my sentiments exactly
This exact lyrics at that exact moment to come out playing through this setup can not be a coincidence
THIS is why I present electronics classes to youngsters...it takes just ONE dad, or uncle, or teacher and ONE project and BAM! Future physicist!
@FREE WILL DEFENDER I never had someone like me in my life, and it sounds like you didn't either. That's why I'm there for them. I'll be that guy.
Don't forget ladybird!
Electronics lab was what I hated the most during my physics degree. Soldering was just not my thing I guess. This, however, looks fun.
@mokopa amen to that. Build minds my friend
Or a mother or an aunt :)
"It might involve quite a lot of swearing"
"Come on you...pig"
ploppers!
Best Unintentional Use of Green Day Ever
Legitimately got teary-eyed with that song and the photo montage.
Lol I got the same feeling, although I feel it was intended as a troll/joke. Green Day... I guess they’ll hit ya in the soft spots
Perfect "time of your life"
damn, been watching brady's stuff for pretty much 10 years or so now, it's really interesting to see how professor Moriarty has aged while still remaining as interesting and excited about science as always :D
edit: later while watching the video I noticed you put in some old pics of him too! great!
oh man, you made me emotional w/ the random montage
same :' )
Prof Moriarty always delivers quality content - going to do this with my kid once he is back from school!
You're going to steal a penny from him and give him a silicon piece instead?
That's dope.
@Harry Svensson N type or P type?
@Intermernet Both
Taking a risk on YouTube’s copyrighted music detection algorithm at the end there!
Not to worry, WMG claimed the video smh
omg <facepalm />
the plank of wood is probably where the term breadboard comes from, since people used literal bread cutting boards to build electronics
OR old pieces of bread
not probably - it is where the term came from
@Georg Plaz People still fight over whether rye or sourdough works better.
So happy to see Professor Moriarty back on the channel again, his genuine childlike obsession with physics makes the videos so engaging.
Too bad he isn't a ham radio operator...
@denelson83 Well he managed to get some rock from a penny 😉
I came for the science and I got the feels. Damn.
Easily one of the best and most organic outros I've ever seen, to an absolutely great video. Thanks!
Have to respect a researcher wearing a Thin Lizzy t-shirt.
I was looking for that comment... Thumbs up!!
Don't forget the Rush mug
Oh, it's been too long between Professor Moriarty videos.
Finally, the Mighty Moriarty!
Old enough to remember Happy Days
Young enough to have hope for the future because SCIENCE
Video was uploaded 6 minutes ago, and your comment was 21 minutes ago.
Explain please!
@Adit Vats LOL .. Spooky ..
Hey, that same book had also started me on a path to electronics hobby.
abhijit : me too!
@vikki adi : yes.
No lie, this was absolutely beautiful. Very funny how such a fitting song comes on at the end. Seeing Prof. Phil's excitement was priceless.
06:45 - I hope he's changed his password since this was filmed.
1)2(3*4&5^
I used to use that one for quite some time, it served me rather well. Although now I use right turns and jumping over keys as well;)
I can somehow imagine how Phil is jumping around as an adult
that ending got me right in the feels.
So happy to see Prof. Moriarty again. An amazing physicist and educator, I've missed his contributions very much.
This is the best cry Green Day has ever given me.
Always happy to see Professor Moriarty. You can't not admire his enthusiasm.
I was literally grinning through this whole video because it just exudes pure joy and excitement.
The ending was emotional. A fitting music too !
This teacher is an absolute blessing
Ahh the Green Day song at the end was Perfect!
I tried to make a crystal radio when I was a kid. I came to the part of connecting the “cat’s whisker”; I went to my father and asked if we could get a cat...
Did it work? Haha
I remember playing with my uncle's cat's whisker set. It had a tiny wire that you tweaked into contact with a tiny black crystal using a rod with a bakelite handle. Amazingly it worked.
Greg Hartwick That‘s adorable
Vinny Trevino My father was allergic to cats... hehe
@fburton8 I still have a genuine 1920's cat's whisker, with the Galena crystal in a holder, and the screw-mounted whisker wire, all inside a short glass tube with Bakelite and metal ends. It works really well.
This is all an elaborate plan to finally get rid of Sherlock Holmes.
Phil is just an amazing person. I love him.
Man Phil is such a gem <3 look at how his face lights up when Brady brings up his microscope
When the aliens eventually come to wipe us out, this is the kind of ingenuity that will save us.
Love seeing Professor Moriarty's consistent passion for physics. These are always interesting videos but this one made me especially happy with the fun experiment and trip down memory lane. Nice hair! The synchronicity of that song playing was pretty sweet. Cheers!
This video really brought up childhood memories. Loved listening to the AM radio with my crystal receiver. I did use a Germanium diode for greater sensitivity (Ge 0.2V vs Si 0.7V)
I remember reading they even old corroded razor blades instead of the penny during the war.
Great video as always from you guys.
mee too the Germanium Diode! and exactly the same piezo ear-phone
I cannot give this enough 👍
It was experiences exactly like this that led me to electrical engineering.
Yea, I still remember when I build my first crystal radio set (using electronic components, not pennies) and finally getting it to work and then spending hours listening to Radio Moscow (the transmitter in Kaliningrad was powerful enough to be picked up in Denmark and happened to be in the right frequency range).
I can still remember how puzzled I was of how poor the propaganda was, it was completely unbelievable even for a 15 years old kid (it was in the 80'ties)...
Love the t-shirt: "Tin Lizzy" (said in an Irish accent)
"London Calling" the best way to start a video 😍
This is just wonderful to watch!
I'm a scientist myself, I know the fascination first hand. It's so engrossing to watch Prof Moriarty!
I love his enthusiasm!
I'm happy to see you in another video, Dr Moriarty! I usually wait until the evening to watch things, but any new video with you is an instant watch.
Making me nostalgic for Phil's lectures!
My favorite professor at Sixty Symbols, others are awesome too though.
There couldn't have been a more suitable song. Absolutely amazing!
This is really fascinating, you guys should do a whole series on radio.
This is probably the most excited I've ever seen someone on YouTube, it's absolutely delightful
Absolutely great! We love you, Professor Moriarty!

That is not a small claim!

Part 2 is even more fascinating than part 1!!!!!!!
