Physics is not only a tough but very boring subject, atleast for me! Visiting chemistry or biology lab was always fun for me as the experiments involved, be it titration or dissection of a cockroach, were colorful, interesting and adventurous. The case was exactly the opposite for Physics because looking at a moving pendulum for minutes wasn’t cool at all! Or maybe my inclination towards Biology and hatred towards Physics made me feel so.

But I’m sure if I had a Physics professor like Mr. David Wright, things would have been different, indeed! The 69-year-old taught at David Tidewater Community College in Virginia 45 years ago and has been going strong ever since, reports NBC.

But what makes him different from most other professors is his way of teaching. A student of his recently shared a compilation video that shows clips of David demonstrating interesting Physics experiments in his classroom. He is seen making ice cream out of liquid nitrogen and even tasting a spoonful of it in the class. The video also shows him making flames and deflating balloons in the class while teaching basic principles of Physics, reports GMA.

A video shared by his student, Erica Church has gone viral on social media. People from all over the world can’t stop gushing over professor Wright for his interesting demonstrations.

Erica also sent an email to her professor telling him that he has now gone viral for his experiments and he replied to her. Have a look:

I wish I had a professor like him during my college days! What are your thoughts on the video? Tell us!
