#Monopoles
How many times did I rewind, rewatch/
off the top of my head, I remember that magnets have a north and a south pole. If you cut one in half, a new pole forms at both ends of the shorter magnets. Keep cutting, smaller and smaller. The poles keep appearing at both ends. How small can you keep this going - to the atomic level? Can you reduce a magnet to just one pole (monopole)? Now I have to rewatch to see what his answer was. It took me forever just to grasp the question.
I also (finally!) can remember piezo-electric, but only after learning the Greek, piezo, means to squeeze or compress. Squeeze a crystal, and a spark flares to life. Hence, ignitions to cars and gas stoves. This, I can grasp.
But this new video, hosted by Keating - oh man. There's a LOT to hear, process, internalize, try to remember!
But you don't have to remember, you won't be tested on it, you just have to have read it once. Twice if you really want to, as many times as you want to, but it still won't matter if you remember it all.
I zoned out when he got to the solution. Too distracted today! So much to do outside!!!!
Yes - too many distractions! The garden, the dog, the cat(s)... Freddy!
Oh, I know I don't have to memorize what I've learned.
It just frustrates me that I want to remember what I've read but find it so very difficult to retain anything in my porous brain. I have to read several times just to understand this math stuff. Several more times (plus taking notes, writing it out) to REMEMBER anything... even after writing pages of notes, I'll still forget.....
here's hoping I don't live long enough to get even worse (dementia)
