Profsor Tim Gay was a speaker at this year's Nifty Fifty program for the USA Science & Engeerg Ftival. Gay is a very challengg yet rewardg urse. He ially me off as timidatg to me but quickly beme my favore physics GrarGiv good feedbackRpectedThe lectur themselv were very sightful, and he explaed everythg a fairly clear way, however the tts were near impossible and more than half the class dropped after the first Gay might be the most knowledgeable profsor the physics partment at UNL, but om a teachg standpot he is jt awful.
Gay's 211 sectn is by far the harst. Gay do not know how to teach. Good guyProfsor Gay is great.
The homework problems are really difficult, but Profsor Gay has lots of office hours and lov beg asked qutns. Also, the tts aren't nearly as hard as the homework, so that's Gay is the bt Physics profsor on mp. Physics self is hard, but Gay do as good a job as possible to help his of the reviews seem to be more reactns to takg Physics general than actually to Prof Gay, so let me make this clear: Physics is hard.
NEBRASKA PROFSOR TIMOTHY GAY SPEAKS ABOUT THE PHYSICS OF FOOTBALL
Timothy Gay is a profsor the Physics partment at Universy of Nebraska-Lln - see what their stunts are sayg about them or leave a ratg yourself. * timothy gay physics *
Prof Gay's office hours are extremely helpful and his monstratns actually make the class good to see that other ppl on this se agree that this teacher is jt terrible.
Feel ee to ignore Mr Gay Gay is smart but he has no ia how to teach. The Gay Group is posed of a fantastic llectn of mds who nduct the credible rearch beg done the lab. Tim Gay.
Timothy Gay was born Ashtabula, Oh on 23 March, 1953. An only child, his parents (both now ceased) were William Gay, a pastor the Uned Church of Christ, and Annabeth McClelland Gay, a church mician. Gay attend Phillips Amy Andover, Massachsets, graduatg 1971.
TIPPG POT: AFTER 20 YEARS, GAY SOLV NUNDM OF FOOTBALL PHYSICS
Webse for Dr. Tim Gay's rearch group at the Department of Physics and Astronomy of the Universy of Nebraska-Lln * timothy gay physics *
Gay got a B. Upon graduatg om Caltech, Gay matriculated at the Universy of Chigo, where he earned his Ph. Gay's rearch terts center on the stterg of electrons by atomic and molecular targets and elementary particle physics.
Durg his reer, Gay has been the prciple vtigator on more than $7 ln of grants, and has published more than 100 articl the refereed scientific lerature, cludg two books.
GAY REARCH GROUP
Consirg me om a Nobel lreate physics, the qutn seemed straightforward enough: When a quarterback lnch a 50-yard bomb downfield, why do the ont nose of the football — which pots upward when leav the quarterback’s hand — tilt downward by the time lands the hands of a receiver? But Nebraska's Tim Gay, the gu of football physics, was at a * timothy gay physics *
Gay married Anna Christe Nothste of St. Bis beg a rabid Cornhkers fan, Gay's hobbi are Civil War history and rock-and-roll mic.
PHYSICS COLLOQUIUM: TIMOTHY GAY, "THE PHYSICS OF FOOTBALL"
Timothy Gay is the thor of The Physics of Football (3.39 avg ratg, 54 ratgs, 7 reviews, published 2005) and Football Physics (3.43 avg ratg, 44 r... * timothy gay physics *
Gay’s atomic, molecular, and optil physics rearch group as a postdoctoral rearch fellow. Gay’s rearch group ntug the work he started as a postdoc: signg and nstctg an optil polarimeter pable of measurg the polarizatn state of light to unprecented accuraci. Tim Gay’s enuragement, William joed his rearch group and currently works on creatg a fast bright sp-polarized source of electrons which is both tertg and satisfyg.
Now, the Gay Group, he is. Gay and learned that AMO physics terted them more. Kaley began rearch high-energy physics before swchg to the Gay Group to be more personally volved table-top experiments.
For 90 mut Thursday, Timothy Gay, thor and physics profsor at the Universy of Nebraska - Lln, livered a prentatn entled "The Physics of Football" to an dience of a few hundred, cludg two dozen Old Domn football players. Delivered as part of the ODU Prents lecture seri, Gay's talk vered his time "teachg" the world's largt physics class - via a seri of short vios that played to more than 80, 000 fans on the vio board durg Nebraska gam. Nebraska’s Tim Gay wrote the book on the physics of football.

Kev Maxen, an associate strength ach wh the Jacksonville Jaguars, has bee the first male ach a major U.S.-based profsnal league to e out as gay. * timothy gay physics *
Gay knows so much about that he once beme a Hkervisn star by explag to sell-out crowds that filled Memorial Stadium, his talkg head fillg jumbotron screens for mute-long segments durg Hker timeouts. Word of the segments got out, eventually landg Gay that most diehard of sports media outlets, The Wall Street Journal. A iend — Bill Phillips, who also happens to be a Nobel lreate physics — saw the story and ved Gay to give a lecture on the topic at an annual gatherg Maryland.
JAGUARS ACH OUT AS GAY A FIRST FOR U.S.-BASED PRO LEAGU
For Nebraska’s Tim Gay and his fellow physicists, the Wter Olympics are a masterclass classroom physics applied on ice and snow. Gay recently helped Nebraska Today unrstand how the slow sp of a figure skater n accelerate to a dizzyg blur. * timothy gay physics *
Gay agreed. “Bill is an extremely iendly guy, ” said Gay, Willa Cather Profsor of physics and astronomy at the Universy Nebraska–Lln.

I don’t know, ’” Gay said.
Wh the help of two theoretil physicists — his olst llege buddy, Willie Moss of the Lawrence Livermore Natnal Laboratory, and Richard Price of MIT — Gay fally has his answer. If a football were thrown a vacuum, whout any air to fluence s flight, the phenomenon that so fascated Gay wouldn’t exist. When teachg the ncept class, Gay illtrat angular momentum by curlg the fgers of his right hand while stickg out his thumb.
“The reason don’t happen is based on the ncept of gyrospic stabilizatn, and that’s where gets difficult, ” Gay said.
THURSDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL WH TIM GAY
For Nebraska’s Tim Gay and his fellow physicists, the Wter Olympics are a masterclass classroom physics applied on ice and snow. Gay recently helped Nebraska Today unrstand the answer to a ceptively difficult qutn: What exactly mak ice so slippery? * timothy gay physics *
A gyrospe is a tried-and-te go-to for stctors, cludg Gay, who want to monstrate jt how weird Newtonian physics n get. Well, I’m no longer supportg this end, so ’s jt gog to fall down and wiggle back and forth like a pendulum, ” Gay said.
Gay, Moss and Price knew that a well-thrown football, like the high-RPM gyrospe, posss plenty of angular momentum. Torque generated by the angle between onshg air and the football’s axis — the same torque that would seemgly send the ball to a reverse somerslt — actually teracts wh the ball’s angular momentum and gravy to produce the precsn, Gay said.
