UW your site looks truly awesome for people searching for basic knowledge in physics. Very didactic and easy to follow. I'm impressed.

Please stop promoting your utterly bad physics site, it's more misleading that tutoring!

Thank you for drawing attention to my utterly bad physics site. (Actually, it's more philosophy than physics, but the 'utterly bad' can stay.)

Np, if you were serious about tutoring the world, then it should be better and in animations, but I know you can't do it alone, you simply don't have the skills for it, you need someone with high rationality.
