Especially the last few seconds in what could be described as a slight tongue and cheek referring to inconceivable nature as if all things are explainable, if we think and MAYBE not just believe in magic so to speak . I thought it was brilliant!

I am not too embarrassed to admit my colon makes me cry tears of joy when it functions properly. I also lift entirely off the ground (barley) when farting due to intense hydraulic pressure released out of the anal crypt as intuitive jet propulsion.
I love how even though he worked at the forefront of quantum field theory for years and developed some of the most important equations we have today, he can still come down to explain things at a level that almost anybody can understand. What a wonderful man.
@ Lewis Jones: It's actually the other way around: The deeper the knowledge, the greater the ability to explain the topic to all audiences at different levels, including elementary ones, but always effectively and never in a misleading manner. There are two categories of bad teachers: Those who could but just don't want to be bothered with teaching (this group may include otherwise great scientists), and those who might want to teach, in fact, but alas don't deeply understand the subject matter they are teaching (this is the overwhelming majority of bad teachers). For the latter, the less they understand it themselves, the more complicated what they teach will sound. When you mix deep understanding and pleasure to teach, you get a Feynman.
@@fd7231 Spot on! You are right about bad teachers. When they do not understand the subject but have to teach it, they tend to overcomplicate everything in order to hide their lack of understanding. Unfortunately there are very few teachers like Feynman these days.
Is anyone else on this sudden Richard Feynman-videos spree?? I cant stop watching these short little videos of him explaining. I have never before heard him speak, this man is absolutely fascinating and has an unmatched way of captivating me as a listener from the very first word that comes out of his mouth. God bless this genius.
I love this man so much. How he sees the nature. A true physicist. Curious mind and a sweet man. He married his first wife knowing she was dying of cancer. 💕
My favorite aspect of Feynman videos is that here we have a legendary, brilliant physicist who speaks with the accent of a character on the Honeymooners. I love it.
Student teachers should be made to watch videos from people like Richard Feynman. Then maybe they wouldn't just turn into the drone teachers we see in many schools, and maybe more kids would retain an interest in some of the more complex subjects they often struggle with. A lot of kids learn enough to pass a basic high school exam but never develop a love or inquisitiveness for the subject that guys like this can help instill into them. So many fine minds are lost to these fields due to mundane teachers. And before anyone comments that teachers are governed by curriculum and set class lesson plans just remember that none of those things prevent a teacher from delivering subject matter with insight, passion or joy
it would only be suggestive . his level of passion for knowledge and the sharing of that knowledge could never be taught . i wish that I had been lucky enough to have teachers like him when I was young .
Maybe its the way a very intelligent mind thinks and finds beauty and grandiosity in everything that is there but hidden from most of us. Most of us are just not able to think in such a way on our own. Thats admiration and envy i feel. Greatfulness that such a mind exists and in the same time sadness for my shortcomings. And again gratefulness that i get to see the world throug such mind for a brief second and again sadness not being able to do it on my own. I think thats where the sadness in part comes from for me.
Although I already knew all this about "light" and much more, I was still riveted to the end. I learned nothing new but I never really looked it at that way before. What a guy!
@@antonystringfellow5152 Agreed. He made me look at things in a new way. Taking his pool analogy further I imagine dark energy and matter to be the subsurface.
I never get bored listening to Feyman. It's like having a narrator telling you the secret of universe. He will go on and on and on explaining all the details of something seems common around us in a such mesmerizing way.
@Elliot knowledge is universal, Quran mentions about how you should think about the universe, and some of this knowledge was passed down from some muslims in golden ages till it was learned by westerner and now it’s leaned again by easterners. And what is halal or haram knowledge you pressume?
I've read 4 biographies about him, but this is the first time I've heard him speak. I suppose the written word can only convey so much. What a treasure he was.
He's not talking about light. He's talking about the fact that enormous amount of information, all from disparate sources, is present at every point around us and available to us by simply looking at how a the electric/magnetic fields at that point are changing. Light is a small fraction of the range. He also mentions the radio waves, and infrared, and cosmic background waves, and others. What he's pointing out is truly amazing! All this information from different sources are present and they don't interfere with each other! The only time you lose information is if the waves are coming at the same frequency from the same direction! I had wondered about this once when I was sitting next to the ocean and watching waves coming from different directions causing all sorts of standing patterns (square,argyle, etc.) on the surface and that with the right instrument I could tell where the source of the different excitations leading to that pattern were! So I'm kind of proud of myself right now seeing a genius like Feynman is talking about the same observation! :)
All the more important that we always emphasize schools to keep working on making science education up-to-date, fun, and impressionable for public students schools from day 1.
Richard Feynman once talked about some of his students being able to pass classes without understanding the material. And that's when it dawned on me...because I am one of those people who managed to pass difficult classes with higher grades than most people and yet I don't understand some of the basic principles like calculus. Good thing I'm only an engineer.

Yeah, when I got to this part in his Lectures, there was no turning back. I was floored by every sentence, every concept, then floored again by his understanding of the phenomena- the intimacy he must have had with it to be able to relate it like he did, floored by his imagination, floored by his logic, floored by the simple beauty of reality. This dude is dropping truth like it's going out of style. Blew my mind to bits.
This video is exactly why I love Feynman / Sagan / Tyson etc so much, it's a great example of his enthusiasm towards understanding, a testament to the great pleasures of exploring mysterious things and eventually uncovering answers to light the dark places in your understanding. His excitement is so contagious.
Richard Feynman was such a curious and knowledgeable person, it blows my mind. Probably the best teacher there ever was. I never tire of watching his videos.
Feynman was truly an extraordinary individual - a gem of a human. He was by any and all standards a genius - but it didn't stop there - he was also funny and passionate - he was also engaging and a great lecturer - he was humble and he was cool (an expert at cracking safes) - he was also such a great person. I have nothing but the utmost respect and admiration for this legend.
noooot quite. he used to mack on undergrads, which would get you run right out the college today. einstein did the same and while he was married. don't put your idols on too high a moral pedestal.
@@dr3754 lmao admiring another person's genius and multi-dimensional personality isn't idolatry. Also, please just stop judging people from a drastically different era by today's standards. Your own ancestors would fail miserably on such a litmus test. I'm old enough to vividly remember the 90s and even as early as that decade, American culture has changed dramatically. Many of the acceptable social norms of today would appear bizzare and alien in the 90s.
The sparkle in his eyes! “… the incredible complexity; the inconceivable nature of nature!” Was it Einstein who said, ‘if you can’t explain what you know in simple terms you don’t yet fully understand it’? Brilliant analogy and explanation of the electro-magnetic spectrum that every school science teacher could use. Thanks for posting this 🤗
He was a great scientist and human being. A rare breed who didn't let his ego take the front seat like so many others before and after him. A genius who still had the humility to accept that he too, could only comprehend some things about the reality of the universe, physics and life. He told a student that physics was great, but love was more important! What a great man.
I love how he and I think about the same things sometimes. I recently made an observation about pond waves and their pattern in the water and I almost shat a brick when he started talking about the same thing but in terms of a pool. What an intuitive man.
So I was reviewing some old ideas from electrodynamics when I was taking a course in GR a year back, and you are usually taught in any first year E&M class that light travels in straight lines. The way that Maxwells equations justify this is essentially that you can do a Fourier decomposition of the E and B fields and thus show that monochromatic light does in fact travel in a straight line in vacuum. However upon further thought I realized though that “technically speaking” essentially any field satisfying maxwells equations, satisfying the appropriate boundary conditions of course, would constitute light! I was so shocked by this idea because it’s just as Feynman says, when you really think about it, the complexity of the general situation seems inconceivable but it’s really there! Now by this time I hadn’t seen this video of Feynman speaking about this and I honestly thought something was wrong with my thought process. So I shared it with two of my grad student colleagues and they both determined that I was wrong in the way that I was thinking about light and electromagnetic disturbances. But the math for me checked out and I honestly just felt bummed out... then I watched this video on Feynman speaking about light and it lined up perfectly with what I was thinking! The best part is that he too marveled at the complexity of light!! It was such a satisfying feeling being verified by Feynman himself :)
CurlBro15 what do you think about when he describes our eyes as two little black holes ? Is he referring to how light enters our eyes and never comes out ? So like in a black hole information isnt lost , when light enters our eye the information isnt lost its just processed by our brain ?
Maxwell's equations don't assume relativity which came later. BC and assumptions are what we work with focused on some aspect so the big picture is mind boggling.
I have always thought it interesting that a point of light in space seems like it is just for you, coming towards just your eyeball. Then I imagine that the point of light is actually a never expanding sphere in all directions, it just so happens that your eye catches that one ray to make it seem like a point. So interesting how Feynman talks about turning your eye "ball" , I never thought of it like that.....
This man had an amazing brain. To be able to reach out to someone and explain the fundamentals of light in less than six minutes is more than amazing and someone mysterious. He grabs the attention and takes you on a vision quest with him and helps you understand it. He either wants to not have to explain it twice and/or doesn't want to fail at teaching something because he values knowledge and respects it so. An amazing brain!
Similar to sound. Composite waves of sound arrive at our ears when we listen to a band, yet we can pick out the distinct notes from a bass guitar, lead, sax, vocals etc.
Not the same thing at all. Sound is the vibration of existing molecules in the air. Our ear is really good at distinguishing between different vibration fronts. Light is itself a particle and moves through space, even in vacuum, with different wavelengths having vastly different properties
Graham Lyons are making a comparison between the eye and the ear, Nahush Bhat. It is not the same thing - but you can make a comparison of the complexity of those two senses.
I love how giddy Feynman gets when he explains something. It's as if he was letting us in on a dirty little secret.
It is such a pleasure listening to him explain things.

Have you tried looking around in the places you've been? Though honestly that seldom works for finding something I've lost.
I have always thought it interesting that a point of light in space seems like it is just for you, coming towards just your eyeball. Then I imagine that the point of light is actually a never expanding sphere in all directions, it just so happens that your eye catches that one ray to make it seem like a point. So interesting how Feynman talks about turning your eye "ball" , I never thought of it like that.....
@@GlennC789 BTW Elon is a arrogant fool. Why is the slowest Tesla very fast? Ego....
Incredible. Sublime. It clicks. Bingo. Thanks Mr. Feynman!!
Look at the pure pleasure he gets while explaining... such a great man ！
This man had an amazing brain. To be able to reach out to someone and explain the fundamentals of light in less than six minutes is more than amazing and someone mysterious. He grabs the attention and takes you on a vision quest with him and helps you understand it. He either wants to not have to explain it twice and/or doesn't want to fail at teaching something because he values knowledge and respects it so. An amazing brain!
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
Physics needs more artists.
One of my all time heroes.
I love his enthusiasm!!!
This is nice. Comfort food.
His gift is converting abstractions into an understanding for the layman
Mind. Blown. Wow how have I never seen this.. His description is so unique but flawless.
WOW! Brilliant.
imagine if we all used our intelligence like this man. We'd be on another planet by now.
In another universe, Feynman is a gangster called Tommy ''The Knuckes' Malone.
LMAO
I guarantee we would be friends. That's the type of crap I write everywhere on the web. Cheers.
Because of his accent?
That's called stereotype - programming! Italian/American = 'tough guy'. . .

What a bloody lovely way to explain focus, perception and interpretation 😊🥰
Love his enthusiasm
Similar to sound. Composite waves of sound arrive at our ears when we listen to a band, yet we can pick out the distinct notes from a bass guitar, lead, sax, vocals etc.
Great point!
Not the same thing at all. Sound is the vibration of existing molecules in the air. Our ear is really good at distinguishing between different vibration fronts. Light is itself a particle and moves through space, even in vacuum, with different wavelengths having vastly different properties
Graham Lyons are making a comparison between the eye and the ear, Nahush Bhat.
It is not the same thing - but you can make a comparison of the complexity of those two senses.
Do light waves cancel each other if 180 out of phase like water waves?
Yes, check out yang's experiment.
Or see the “double slit experiment”
What do you mean by "cancel" 😁
Where is your observation point?
Yes. It's called 'interference'.
I love this man.
The pure joy of learning and understanding the universe. I feel it too.
One of the greatest scientists of all time.
