Early life and education Institutions MIT
Lewin was born to Walter Simon Lewin and Pieternella Johanna van der Tang in 1936 in The Hague, Netherlands. He
was a child when Nazi Germany occupied The Netherlands during World War II. [4] His paternal grandparents Gustav
and Emma Lewin, who were Jewish, were killed in Auschwitz in 1942. [5] To protect the family, Lewin's father simply
left one day without telling anyone, leaving his mother to raise the children. [4][6]
Academic career
Walter Lewin taught Physics in High School while studying for his PhD, then he went to Massachusetts Institute of
Technology in January 1966 as a postdoctoral associate, and was appointed an Assistant Professor. He was
promoted to Associate Professor of Physics in 1968 and to full Professor in 1974. [7]
At MIT, Lewin joined the Xray astronomy group and conducted allsky balloon surveys with George W. Clark.
Through the late seventies, there were about twenty successful balloon flights. These balloon surveys led to the
discovery of five new Xray sources, whose spectra were very different from the Xray sources discovered during rocket
observations. The Xray flux of these sources were variable. Among them was GX 1+4 whose Xray flux appeared to be
periodic with a period of about 2.4 minutes. This was the first discovery of a slowly rotating neutron star. [8]
In October 1967 when Scorpius X1 was observed, an Xray flare was detected. The flux went up by a factor of about 4
in ten minutes after which it declined again. This was the first detection of Xray variability observed during the
observations. The rockets used by other researchers could not have discovered that the Xray sources varied on such
short time scales because they were only up for several minutes, whereas the balloons could be in the air for many
hours. [9]
Lewin was coinvestigator on the Small Astronomy Satellite 3 (SAS3) project. He directed the burst observations and
discovered several Xray bursters, among them was the Rapid Burster (http://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/docs/objects/bin
aries/rapid_burster_lc.html) which can produce thousands of Xray bursts in one day. His group also discovered that
the Rapid Burster produces two types of bursts and established a classification of bursts as type I (thermonuclear
flashes) and type II (accretion flow instabilities). [10]
Lewin was CoPrincipal Investigator on High Energy Astronomy Observatory 1 HEAO1 (A4), which has yielded the
first all sky catalog at highenergy X rays. With H. Pedersen and J. van Paradijs, Lewin made extensive studies of
optical bursts which are associated with Xray bursts; for Xray detections they used SAS3 and the Japanese
Observatory "Hakucho". Their combined burst observations demonstrated that the optical bursts are a few seconds
delayed relative to the Xray bursts. This established the size of the accretion disc surrounding the accreting neutron
stars.
In his search for millisecond Xray pulsations from lowmass Xray binaries, in 1984–85 Lewin made guest
observations with the European Observatory EXOSAT in collaboration with colleagues from Amsterdam and
Garching, Germany. This led to the unexpected discovery of intensitydependent Quasiperiodic oscillations (QPO) in
the Xray flux of GX 51. During 1989 to 1992, using the Japanese Observatory "Ginga", Lewin and his coworkers
studied the relation between the Xray spectral state and the radio brightness of several bright lowmass Xray
binaries. [11]
Lewin was closely involved in ROSAT observations of the nearby galaxies M31 and Messier 81. Lewin and his graduate
student Eugene Magnier have made deep optical chargecoupled device observations of M31 in four colors; they have
published a catalogue of 500,000 objects. Lewin and his graduate student David Pooley initiated the successful Xray
observations within six days of the appearance of supernova SN 1993J in M81.
Lewin collaborated with his close friend Jan van Paradijs of the University of Amsterdam from 1978 until van
Paradijs' death. They coauthored 150 papers. [12]
He became a corresponding member of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1993[13] and a fellow of
the American Physical Society in 1993. [14]
Lewin and graduate student Jeffrey Kommers have worked on data from the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory
(GRO). This was a collaboration with the BATSE Group (https://web.archive.org/web/20130215053749/http://www.
batse.msfc.nasa.gov/batse/instrument/) in Huntsville, AL. In early December 1995, with coworkers Chryssa
Kouveliotou and Van Paradijs, they discovered a new type of Xray burst source: (GRO J174428) the Bursting Pulsar,
and received a NASA Achievement Award for this discovery.
In 1996–1998, Lewin's collaboration with Michiel van der Klis in Amsterdam led to the discovery of kHz oscillations
in many Xray binaries.
Using the Chandra Xray Observatory, Lewin and his graduate student David Pooley made extensive studies of
supernovae and faint Xray sources in globular clusters. This research was done in collaboration with scientists from
the University of Washington, IAS in Princeton, UC Berkeley, the University of Amsterdam and Utrecht in The
Netherlands, and the Naval Research Laboratory in Washington, DC. The research on supernovae produced the first
Xray spectrum with unprecedented energy resolution of SN 1989S. The research on Globular Clusters demonstrated
that Xray binary stars are cooked in the cores of the clusters where the stellar density is very high.
With graduate student Jon Miller, Lewin made extensive studies of blackhole Xray binaries in our galaxy. Evidence
was found for spectral distortions of the iron line (in Xrays) indicative of the influence of general relativity on the iron
line emission in the vicinity of the "event horizon" of the black holes. This research on blackhole binaries is continuing
using all available observatories in orbit among them: Chandra, the Rossi Xray Timing Explorer (RXTE), and the
European observatories XMMNewton, Integral and NuSTAR.
Lewin has published about 450 scientific articles as of 2014. [14]

On April 3, 2012, Lewin was ranked by the Princeton Review among "The Best 300". He was the only MIT faculty
member (albeit, retired) to make it to that list. [16][17]
Lectures
For about 15 years (starting in 1982) Lewin was on MIT Cable TV, with every week a different 1hour program. They
were aired 24 hours per day helping freshmen with their weekly homework assignments (they were called "Help
Sessions"). Walter Lewin's 1992 lectures on Newtonian Mechanics (colectured with Bob Ledoux) and Lewin's "Help
Sessions" have been shown for over six years (starting in 1995) on UWTV in Seattle, WA, reaching an audience of about
four million people. Years later, Bill Gates wrote Lewin that he watched him very frequently on UWTV. Lewin
personally responded to thousands of email requests that he received per year from UWTV viewers. Videos of Lewin's
94 lectures on Newtonian Mechanics (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLUdYlQf0_sSsb2tNcA3gtgOt8LGH6
tJbr) (1999), Electricity and Magnetism (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLUdYlQf0_sSsfcNOPSNPQKHDh
SjTJATPu) (2002) and the Physics of Vibrations and Waves (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLUdYlQf0_sS
sdOhQ_8jfrAGzbGbJ7MXGe) (2004), among others, could be viewed on the MIT OpenCourseWare web site until MIT
removed them after finding that Lewin had sexually harassed a student in the online course. [3] The videos can also be
viewed on YouTube, iTunes and Earth Academic.
Several of Lewin's lectures have been viewed more than a million times. As of July 2018 his 2011 farewell lecture "For
the Love of Physics" has been viewed more than 6 million times on the YouTube channel "For the Allure of Physics. [18]
Many of his lectures can be viewed online on his personal YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCi
EHVhv0SBMpP75JbzJShqw). In 2007, The New York Times featured Lewin on the front page, talking about his
massive influence on online education. [19]
Two of Lewin's courses were converted into edX courses, 8.01x (classical mechanics) and 8.02x (electricity and
magnetism). People who pass "x" courses receive a certificate from MIT. Lewin's course on Electricity and Magnetism
went online in February 2013, Newtonian Mechanics is online as of September 2013. As of May 2014, there were yet no
plans to convert 8.03 "Vibrations and Waves" into an edX course. [20]
Videos of Lewin’s lectures on Videos on Teaching Excellence at MIT, YouTube and iTunes U have been viewed more
than 12 million times by people all over the world — including Bill Gates, who has confessed to repeated
viewings. [21][22]
In the summer of 2012, Lewin returned from his retirement to deliver a lecture series[23] initiated and funded by the
Japanese Broadcasting Corporation (NHK). Each lecture features a selection of physics demonstrations that Lewin
has used in his more than 43 years of teaching Physics at MIT. The lectures consist of 8 TV programs that were
broadcast in Japanese on NHK in Japan in 2013. As of 2015, a region 2 DVD box set of this series is available in
Japanese, with an optional partial English audio track and English subtitles. [24]
In early December, 2014, MIT announced that it had determined that Lewin engaged in online sexual harassment of
an online MITx learner in violation of MIT's policies. [1] Inside Higher Ed reported that this learner was one of many
(at least 10) female students to whom Lewin had sent inappropriate messages. [25] The alleged victim, who said that
she was a 32yearold woman living in France and that she came forward to ensure the case is not forgotten, asserted
that Lewin pushed her to participate in sexual roleplaying. [25] As a consequence of its internal investigation, MIT
revoked Lewin's professor emeritus title[2] and indefinitely removed his lectures from the institute's online learning
platforms. [26] However, Lewin's lectures are readily available on several websites. In 2017, his lectures on the 2 leading
YouTube Channels, [18] & his personal YouTube channel, average approximately 700 thousand views per month.
Personal life
Lewin is an art enthusiast and collector. He has lectured on the subject at MIT. [27] In the 1970s and 1980s, he
collaborated with the artists Otto Piene (born in Germany), who was one of the founders of the ZERO movement and
the director of MIT's Center for Advanced Visual Studies, [28] and Peter Struycken (Dutch), who is a computer artist. [5]
