Einstein explains the photoelectric effect

A couple of years ago I was playing with CrazyTalk software (something that I like to do a lot) and had made the above video in which Einstein purportedly explains the photoelectric effect. I had Einstein speaking in German, but the German text was in fact a beer recipe that I had found online.The English subtitles, however, were a genuine explanation of the photoelectric effect taken from the Wikipedia article. It was all meant as an inside geeky joke, but as it often happens on YouTube it’s sometimes the most unexpected videos that make it to the top. The above clip has been viewed about 27,000 times so far, which is a respectable number. After all, it IS an educational video. šŸ™‚
