Lecture 8 of Leonard Susskind's Modern Physics course concentrating on Classical Mechanics. Recorded December 17, 2007 at Stanford University.

This Stanford Continuing Studies course is the first of a six-quarter sequence of classes exploring the essential theoretical foundations of modern physics. The topics covered in this course focus on classical mechanics. Leonard Susskind is the Felix Bloch Professor of Physics at Stanford University.

    You could go through a dozen books and still not get a good as grounding in modern physics as that you can get from Prof. Susskind. All we need from Stanford is a series of lectures on field theory and string theory. If any one can explain these Susskind can,

    @fermista:

    I could be wrong here but as I see it the two gauges are two extremes between a continuous set of homotopic gauges. So... one can always be shifted into another in such a way that both are always true. The non-conserved equations also both 'exist' but they don't define any useful motion as such.

    So using the magnetic vector potential gauge where the x-component of the momentum is conserved and the gauge where the y-component of momentum is conserved, we get the x and y components of the momentum of the origin of the particle's rotation respectively. Right, got that.

    What I'm wondering is what is the physical significance of the non-conserved components of momentum for these gauges? Or are they just discarded as irrelevant somehow?
