Making the news today is MIT taking down all Walter Lewin videos (most now, some at the end of the term) as a result of their investigation into sexual harassment allegations. This seems like a gross and unprecedented overreaction (a rough equivalent of removing all Bill Cosby videos), so I would estimate that this decision will be partially or fully reversed within 1 year, with probability of 75%.
Noooooooooooooo!!!!
I don't care if Walter Lewin is actually Stalin in disguise, those videos are awesome.
Does, um, anybody know if someone is linking to a backup somewhere (cough)gwern(cough)?
You can watch them on Youtube, e.g on this channel. If you would like to have a backup copy on your own computer, you can download them using, e.g. this Firefox addon.
oh, they are online various places elsewhere, since the license allows copying.
