MinutePhysicsシーズン 2012

In MinutePhysics Henry Reich provides concise, easy to understand explanations of physics principles in every day language in about a minute. And to make the physics easier to understand he hand sketches diagrams so you can also see what he's talking about. Topics tend to previews or introductions to more in depth programs available through various online services.
