SEE IT: Columbia professor strips down to underwear...[to teach] quantum mechanics
NY Daily News ^ | February 18, 2013 | Tina Moore

This Columbia University professor’s approach to teaching quantum mechanics is a real eye-opener.

Prof. Emlyn Hughes gave students a bizarre performance Monday, stripping down to his underwear as images of 9/11 and the Holocaust showed on a screen behind him.

Hughes remained in the fetal position on the floor as two people dressed as ninjas blindfolded two stuffed animals and impaled one of them with a sword. The whole five-minute skit was posted on the website Bwog.

The students at first encouraged Hughes to dance to the music that was playing as he stripped, but then were dismayed when footage of the Twin Towers collapsing and wartime Nazi Germany began rolling, the video shows.

Either you didn’t watch the video, or you are a very bad man.

Come on dummy author, that was clearly Schrodinger’s cat...

{Schrödinger’s cat: a cat, a flask of poison, and a radioactive source are placed in a sealed box. If an internal monitor detects radioactivity (i.e. a single atom decaying), the flask is shattered, releasing the poison that kills the cat. The Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics implies that after a while, the cat is simultaneously alive and dead. Yet, when one looks in the box, one sees the cat either alive or dead, not both alive and dead. This poses the question of when exactly quantum superposition ends and reality collapses into one possibility or the other.}

I would have stood up, pointed and laughed. I may have used words like, "looser" and "fetish freak". The words "Pathetic poser trying desperately to be relevant and profound." or "Nasty dried up old hippy having an acid flashback and wasting my time and money." might have come out of my mouth.

I DID have a psych professor who insisted EVERYTHING every day, every where revolved around sex. He literally talked about Joe Camel, telephone poles, ice in Coca-Cola adverts, train tunnels... as if it was all porn. I challenged him often in class until one day he asked me to stay after. He asked me directly so I told him, I had heard he lived with his mother, and had a habit of crashing student events to hit on girls. I told him I felt he was sex obsessed and I doubted his capacity to teach the class. I was allowed a late class transfer, so that worked out cool.

Supposedly there is a parallel universe in which he didn’t strip. Why am I not in that one?

From a psych professor, that doesn’t surprise me at all.

Dennis Prager stated that the longer you go to higher “education” the more you have all Common Sense and morality BEAT out of you. It is intentional. These kids come out stupid and immoral.

They are out to destroy Virtue-—that which is necessary for Free Republics. (known since Socrates). They are forcing Vice and Sex on small children (Jerry Brown—anal sex to Kindergardeners-—to destroy the innocence of children and warp their normal sexual formation.

This is just their forcing Satanic/occultism/paganism onto our children. TV and movies and our toxic culture are destroying all “Good” and glorifying and normalizing evil to collapse our culture. Cultural Marxists figured out how to kill Christianity and destroy America from within in the 30’s. They have been marching through all our institutions to corrupt them.
