He cheated on his wife with Las Vegas showgirls while at Los Alamos. While she was dying of cancer. (see "You Must Be Joking, Mr. Feinman") He had access to radioactive material . Do the math.
This is funny. I watched this video two, maybe three years ago, and just now I wanted to find it again so I typed some keywords. You know what I found? Well beside this video, the top results were all sorts of people asking versions of this question: "Why was Feynman against brushing teeth?" It's funny, but hopefully people helped them out.
@@gfujigo I developed a passion for the truth. I left myths and stories behind. I opened my mind to wonder. Why are things as they are? He helped me to realize science has but one objective, the truth. I never turned back.
Same here… as a young physics student at MIT in 1968, his writings stood out from other scientists. He was a mean conga player, too. I eventually became a film composer, so always loved that about him…
Theres another great man, Bronowski (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacob_Bronowski), that believes science is the construction of a controlled vocabulary in order to understand the world. It is awesome to assume both are right in its own sense.
i have a terrible memory for names, introduce yourself, shake hands, already forgotten your name, i console myself with the excuse i won't forget your face, that i give more credence to who you are rather than the label, it's an excuse that keeps me at liberty.
@@devstuff2576 intelligence is intelligence. You can be intelligent and frustrated, intelligent and arrogant or humble. It doesn’t matter. I do get frustrated when some people don’t care about the why. Idk about Feynman :)
One of the most delightful and intelligent scientists during the last 100 years is Dr. Richard Feynman. His ways of communication, the way he delivers scientific and philosophical facts and hypothesis is the best I’ve ever seen.
Richard Feynman, the genius that he was, had the singular ability to realize that perspectives and points of view give us a window into all of the alternate possibilities that may exist. This is the definition of genius.
obliviously, history and science has taught us, the impossible is possible over and over again. We make it all up how we perceive, but feelings are still the greatest mystery.
Rene M some things are factually impossible. unless you can change gravity you will always fall. unless you move, you will be run over. not everything is possible. there are limitations
I disagree. Make science accessible, don't put it in the dark with all the nerds. We need interest in science from men and women to help build the world.
Ever time he speaks about his father, it intrigues me to no end. "What an amazing person he was", i would think. I would also wonder if could ever be a great father like him so, i too could make my son think like Feynman. As i could also walk side by side a great man and to say he is my son would be my greatest achievement.
Every kid invents the problem of the sum of the power of the integers - solves it and moves on to sex, drugs and rock and roll - Ricky was a late developer.
I agree with you 100%. Watching the video like others, you can't help but see how much of an influence Feynman's father had as his mentor. Had he grown up fatherless, perhaps he would have discovered his talents through poker games, or excelled in business rather than something that betters all of humanity. Its interesting to wonder the potential geniuses (even ourselves) walking the streets, with the right variables / guidance I'm sure it can be common.
“Has it ever struck you that life is all memory, except for the one present moment that goes by you so quick you hardly catch it going?”― Tennessee Williams.
If i would have the chance to talk to anyone who has ever lived, Feynman would propably be the one.. just the way he sees things from a different perspective is fascinating. And he never seemed to be tired of explaining his views.. and also one of the greatest explainers of science to the common people.
Richard Feynman is a magnificent orator when it comes to quantum mechanics; primarily using metaphors and analogies instead of physics jargon, so to masses can comprehend the ambiguity, uncertainty and unpredictability of the quantum world. I've been reading up a-lot on quantum entanglement, the complementarity principle and the theory of uncertainty. The schrodinger's cat experiment is an intriguing analogy to explain the superposition paradox between particles.
Absolutely not, not because he's not a great thinker, in the contrary, but because if we all would strive to think in a specific way, there would be a lack of diversity in the way problems are tackled, which would lead to less problems solved, because the problems "out there" sometimes require the thinking patterns of people deviating from the norm or what's generally considered "what humans should think like".
I had a very good physics teacher that would answer a question the same way. Never a direct answer to the question but a proposition for you to think more about the question. At first I thought my teacher was arrogant, but later I understood they were the complete opposite. My teacher had faith that I could come to a better understanding. My teacher is not here any more but has changed my world view and helped me to use physics as a tool that pays my bills.
Trying to answer questions is a good thing. When I was younger (I must've been 10 or 11) I remember watching a documentary on rockets and space travel. Where they talked about how having to lug your propellant with you decreased your performance (the tyranny of the rocket equation). I didn't have much knowledge of physics at the time, but I remember trying to solve the problem by drawing a picture of a rocket which would use the very small amount of gas and dust that is present in space, and accelerate it using magnets out the other end. I then found out that this is the basis of a Bussard ramjet, a type of propulsion proposed in 1960. I was by no means particularly intelligent, I am considered fairly average in school, I just thought about the problem and tried to fit together the rest of my knowledge to make it work.
Jeff Vader I think my mind is a significantly dumbed down version of Feynman’s. Pretty sure I think the same way but with a crappier processor. Maybe you’re the same! There can probably be only a few ways the mind is wired to interact with the world. I think a good comedian’s mind has to be Feynmanesque too. Anyway...that dude was awesome.
Amazing how people truly do live with a computer in their heads, and anyone can recognize a problem, and develop a slightly different solution. everyone today has what Feinman would regard as an amazingly complex supercomputer in our pockets and can find any point of view and solutions, but introduces infinitely more questions and problems for us to solve. Sometimes I wonder what fun Feinman would have with google, but WE have the tools, and he’d want this generation to discover these questions for ourselves.
Feynman was such a treasure to humanity. The embodiment of the virtue of child-like curiousity and how it can change the world for the better if you only let it.
Watching Richard Feynman discuss almost anything reminds me of the late Robin Williams who also seemed to have a mind that operated at some quantum speed which ripped through the irrelevant in life to deliver the conclusion, or in his case, the clever punchline. Feynman was truly unique.
That New York accent is so catchey. I remember once telling my mother that it is possible to have negative integers as well as positive integers and tried to explain my idea,, this was our at the age of 11 or 12, she just laughed at me and said that was stupid, it wasn't until high school then I realised that's exactly what you can do.
Watching these sorts of interviews with Feynman when I was a boy greatly inspired me.I have taken his advice in my life, and guess what? Thinking for yourself doesn't make you very popular!
Apparently so - but I feel not; you put your power in it (assign power to it) by naming and have all the power you give it in the terms you set it. Thus modern humanity is (significantly) trapped in its own model - like a mind being trapped in its own thinking. We could laugh of course - but the experience of this has a tragic element. In ancient times the 'name' meant the 'nature' and to recognize the nature of a thing is to open or activate the resonance within your own nature - and in a true sense you are then the field of relation as the movement or focus of its revealing to your asking - which is not between separate 'things' but a relational expression of 'one thing'. To take a name in vain would be to take it out of its relational context to serve a private agenda (vanity). This is all about magic spelling. I feel better to willingly align in relational integrity and not seek power over anything - so as to no become subject to what goes around, coming around. There must be stories about recognizing home is where or who we were all along. The desire to gain power OVER life/self/reality embodies the belief in a lack of power. The belief that we have it is from the reinforcing feedback of our experience. When my Mac freezes, I can do what I will with the mouse but the illusion of power through the interface is no longer supported. So within the parameters of a certain practicality it can seem reasonable to say we gain power over something - but if we really look at what is actually going on, we find something much more complex relative to what SEEMS simply self-evident because we have learned to think and see this way as our adaptation to the human world/experience. The usefulness of a model is to recognize the limits of its applicability AS a model or shortcut reference to a complex intuitive recognition - that could never be explicated completely in 'longhand' of linear verbal mental concept. Nor would we want a life so long as to pause so long to try to do so. It is very difficult to realize that we are so adapted and acclimatised to relating through a model (named world) that it operates by habit as relating TO the model - without actually making the connection. Forgive me if I rambled out of turn. I also like to uncover other ways of seeing that then release me from tram-tracks I would otherwise follow unknowing.
Only enlightened mind I have seen on screen. Just no negativity, pouring bliss into each moment out of sheer joy for knowledge. Knowledge often suffers from arrogance, NDT is an example, but Feynman cut through that to the other side. He is contended with what he has done, free of need, becoming a visual manifestation of the true meaning of success and human experience. I wish more people learn from him and get inspired.
Much of my success in business can be traced to when I read his two non-technical books, and had my eyes opened as to how one should one's mind. Truly a great man, and deeply missed. Seems to me like America isn't producing enough of this kind of intellectual any more.
I found a weird and awesome equation when I was trying to understand thermodynamics. That was a while ago, turned out to be the doors of calculus, which I discovered by accident. wonderful feeling.
He was a truly unique human being with a unique and inspired point of view on anything and everything imaginable. To say he was a genius just doesn’t do it justice. From Mongolian throat singing to theoretical physics and beyond, he seems to be quaintly present in the ever-unfolding corners of my mind, and I’m sure countless others, too. That’s as close to immortality as a human being could get, at least for the time being.
He was rediscovering advanced mathematics at the age of 14 and we're here scratching our butts while watching Netflix... The difference in brain power is just insane
When I was expanding brackets I worked on a quick way to solve it. I discovered a formula and was a little dissapointed when I found out it was discovered it was the binomial formula. Now I'm not after watching this and I'm going back into studying maths and physics
"In 1973 Yorkshire public television made a short film of the Nobel laureate while he was there. The resulting film, Take the World From Another Point of View, was broadcast in America as part of the PBS Nova series. The documentary features a fascinating interview, but what sets it apart from other films on Feynman is the inclusion of a lively conversation he had with the eminent British astrophysicist Fred Hoyle."
You need to brush your teeth to clear off the bulk of the plaque bacteria. During your sleep, you don't produce any slime/mucus/etc (hence the dry mouth when you wake up). Your mucus kills bacteria and limits their growth. So any plaque-bacteria that are in your mouth when you go to sleep will have free reign to grow during the night. Brushing before going to bed will limit their numbers and thus limit the damage that can be done. It also removes scraps of food residue, robbing the remaining bacteria of their food. In the morning, your breakfast delivers a massive amount of sugars into your mouth, allowing all the bacteria that grew during the night to grow/expand/multiply massively. Brushing in the morning halts this by removing the night-grown bacteria and thus protecting your teeth for the day. Keep in mind that dentists recommend that you never brush more than 3 times a day, and not withing 30 minutes of a meal, to prevent damaging the teeth. Also limit your meals to 7 per day maximum. Your teeth need time to rest/recover from any wear-and-tear damage.
I wonder if mouth breathing is a factor in dry mouth? Did you know that xylitol (birch sap derived) prevents the particular bacteria associated with decay. So this can be rinsed or brushed. There's a lot more to living cellular teeth. Acidic environs ferment as well as dissolve and lack of K2 can mean calcium is not correctly directed or placed where needed - and can be taken from bones and teeth for cellular needs while many forms of calcium are not bio-available as was presumed. IE pasteurised milk. Dentists are not trained in cellular nutrition or bacterial symbiosis - but have a captive revenue stream of needs arising from a way of life that generates dysfunction and disease. Weston Price was an interesting dentist! I pay extra for a soft brush but it is often so that we learn too late in life to effect a regenerative way of life from the outset - and of course the young are not inclined to take negative synergies into account until they manifest as some sort of pain, loss or crisis of health.
ALEXANDER1318 You’re mostly correct with your description. Might I add that the mucus you speak of is saliva. The reason the bacteria grows is because of the absence of the flushing and rinsing away action of the saliva during the day.
@@joverstreet24 Bacteria is growing according to the ph and nutient conditions - so is a 'zoo' of potentialities depending on the terrain - which is of course influenced by many factors. The role of 'bacteria' in the human (or any other) organism is vital to the function, immunity, cognisance etc. One way of looking is electrical - ie: PH where Acidic conditions promote different species.
The cells in the body - including bone cells - are constantly and periodically renewed and constituents recycled according to need - and according to functional transport delivery. Calcium can be carried and positioned by Vit K2 which operates like a parking attendant to calcium. However electrical forces also operate - PH is an electrical attribute. The transfer of ionic material is part of electrical circuit or current flow in fluids and gases.
I have always felt connected with the way this great mind used his intellect to explain things. I'm almost tempted to say we have similar ways of looking at this wonderful universe, my iq may not be as high as his but I have been able to relate to many of his insights and perspectives of looking at the world, and many of his videos have helped me embark in my own personal mental journeys to understand the universe a little better. I am very thankful to be alive at this moment in history were our understanding of ourselves has surpassed expectations yet we have only scratched the surface of the grand scale of what the universe is.
Ok you made a statement - but what about accepting that you made that statement as a persistence of a pattern, and that you can choose to take that statement and open it to another point of view? Then without changing anything you allow fresh information about your self and your relationship to your world. In a sense I am saying you could resonate in a like frequency rather than polarising a comparison and accepting it as a conclusion. You have your own talents, interests and joys. He was encouraged to challenge and be curious and so he was more able to follow what he found interesting. Society does not often teach us this, because we associate it with getting into trouble.
@@DannyPhantumm Oh, the irony... He spoke like a normal person who is trying to communicate an idea. You, on the other hand, sounded like what you claim him to be. Both the way you started your comment and the way you ended your comment are idiotic. Just giving you something to think about, A
@@DannyPhantumm You are indeed assuming - and your assumptions are your own cast and scripting. What I suggest you mean is that you would regard yourself in such a way if you were to behave as you judge me to be acting. If I had your background - perhaps I would write as you do. I have no desire to speak new wine into the old paradigm - and yet the phrasing of my written discourse is not my design so much as my attempt to clothe felt meanings in consciously accepted terms. I have no interest in changing anyone's viewpoint - so much as waking the nature of a viewpoint as a choice. In your awareness of your own choice are you free to choose anew or differently - but while defending or attacking a viewpoint you are in effect 'locked in'. Intelligence is to my appreciation innate - and everyone is embodying it as their current expression. Blocks to intelligence are in effect learned or acquired - not least of which is the self inflation of self-specialness set over and against others. If you see me setting my person over or others under - then point it out. I regard much casual language as corrupted by such insinuation and so I don't run it. If you can make a point without attacking or undermining another - why would you not? Perhaps because you will 'lose impact' and become irrelevant to the addiction to drama. I extend the ideas - as best I can - as an invitation to be considered as willingness and resonance move you. You are free to engage in them or use them to whatever purpose you are currently 'alive in' or accepting as true of you. Unlike a physical meeting, I set out in my preferred framework and terms. If we met I would listen and tune into a shared willingness and as a mutual resonance may then find a rich communication. I cant recall what the points were - as I am responding in a side box. But that you extend a communication to me is a touch of some resonant and some dissonant qualities. Like interference patterns in a vessica pisces. But we are each tuned somewhat differently - however - hello ;-)

When my Mac freezes, I can do what I will with the mouse but the illusion of power through the interface is no longer supported. So within the parameters of a certain practicality it can seem reasonable to say we gain power over something - but if we really look at what is actually going on, we find something much more complex relative to what SEEMS simply self-evident because we have learned to think and see this way as our adaptation to the human world/experience.
The usefulness of a model is to recognize the limits of its applicability AS a model or shortcut reference to a complex intuitive recognition - that could never be explicated completely in 'longhand' of linear verbal mental concept. Nor would we want a life so long as to pause so long to try to do so. It is very difficult to realize that we are so adapted and acclimatised to relating through a model (named world) that it operates by habit as relating TO the model - without actually making the connection.
Forgive me if I rambled out of turn. I also like to uncover other ways of seeing that then release me from tram-tracks I would otherwise follow unknowing.
Only enlightened mind I have seen on screen. Just no negativity, pouring bliss into each moment out of sheer joy for knowledge. Knowledge often suffers from arrogance, NDT is an example, but Feynman cut through that to the other side. He is contended with what he has done, free of need, becoming a visual manifestation of the true meaning of success and human experience. I wish more people learn from him and get inspired.
How is NDT arrogant are you sure you are not projecting?
The way he portrays his enthusiasm for just simple.stiff is amazing
i miss him, and i did not even "know" him
Thanks for the upload.
Thank you for sharing this, aaron.
What a beautiful discourse.
Much of my success in business can be traced to when I read his two non-technical books, and had my eyes opened as to how one should one's mind. Truly a great man, and deeply missed. Seems to me like America isn't producing enough of this kind of intellectual any more.
thanks to public schools, these types of people will become even rarer by the generation
what 2 books were those?
this intellect is made in the womb
Feynman is amazing!
Such a great teacher.
I found a weird and awesome equation when I was trying to understand thermodynamics. That was a while ago, turned out to be the doors of calculus, which I discovered by accident. wonderful feeling.
the greatest thing about this man is that he reveals everything he sees with his own eyes which many by the way refuse to do.
He was a truly unique human being with a unique and inspired point of view on anything and everything imaginable. To say he was a genius just doesn’t do it justice. From Mongolian throat singing to theoretical physics and beyond, he seems to be quaintly present in the ever-unfolding corners of my mind, and I’m sure countless others, too. That’s as close to immortality as a human being could get, at least for the time being.
He was rediscovering advanced mathematics at the age of 14 and we're here scratching our butts while watching Netflix... The difference in brain power is just insane
Thanks so much for posting these. There aren't too many people that can be called 'great', but Richard Feynman was a great man.
LOL! the jethro tull is perfect for that intro...
I love the opening titles with music from Jethro Tull... :)
The opening of this video alone should be essential viewing for all school systems.
excellent, thanks for uploading!
When I was expanding brackets I worked on a quick way to solve it. I discovered a formula and was a little dissapointed when I found out it was discovered it was the binomial formula. Now I'm not after watching this and I'm going back into studying maths and physics
Feynman was a fineman !!!!
My obeisance to the great Physicist.
Womanizer.
@@udhiw.4663 yeah but approached even that Scientifically!

You're butthurt
"In 1973 Yorkshire public television made a short film of the Nobel laureate while he was there. The resulting film, Take the World From Another Point of View, was broadcast in America as part of the PBS Nova series. The documentary features a fascinating interview, but what sets it apart from other films on Feynman is the inclusion of a lively conversation he had with the eminent British astrophysicist Fred Hoyle."
Thank you for sharing ,
Feynman bored at 14
Creates problem which leads to rediscovery of Bernoulli numbers
Lmao
Actually, Oliver Heavyside invented operator calculus. He was called crazy, because he could not prove it.
Indeed! He solved many of the problems of alternating currents and transmission lines. We owe much to Oliver!
I love the intro, it's like a 70s sitcom featuring a brilliant scientist
I love his personality, his accents extraordinary interesting.
You need to brush your teeth to clear off the bulk of the plaque bacteria. During your sleep, you don't produce any slime/mucus/etc (hence the dry mouth when you wake up). Your mucus kills bacteria and limits their growth. So any plaque-bacteria that are in your mouth when you go to sleep will have free reign to grow during the night. Brushing before going to bed will limit their numbers and thus limit the damage that can be done. It also removes scraps of food residue, robbing the remaining bacteria of their food.
In the morning, your breakfast delivers a massive amount of sugars into your mouth, allowing all the bacteria that grew during the night to grow/expand/multiply massively. Brushing in the morning halts this by removing the night-grown bacteria and thus protecting your teeth for the day.
Keep in mind that dentists recommend that you never brush more than 3 times a day, and not withing 30 minutes of a meal, to prevent damaging the teeth. Also limit your meals to 7 per day maximum. Your teeth need time to rest/recover from any wear-and-tear damage.
I wonder if mouth breathing is a factor in dry mouth? Did you know that xylitol (birch sap derived) prevents the particular bacteria associated with decay. So this can be rinsed or brushed. There's a lot more to living cellular teeth. Acidic environs ferment as well as dissolve and lack of K2 can mean calcium is not correctly directed or placed where needed - and can be taken from bones and teeth for cellular needs while many forms of calcium are not bio-available as was presumed. IE pasteurised milk.
Dentists are not trained in cellular nutrition or bacterial symbiosis - but have a captive revenue stream of needs arising from a way of life that generates dysfunction and disease. Weston Price was an interesting dentist!
I pay extra for a soft brush but it is often so that we learn too late in life to effect a regenerative way of life from the outset - and of course the young are not inclined to take negative synergies into account until they manifest as some sort of pain, loss or crisis of health.
ALEXANDER1318 You’re mostly correct with your description. Might I add that the mucus you speak of is saliva. The reason the bacteria grows is because of the absence of the flushing and rinsing away action of the saliva during the day.
@@joverstreet24 Right. Saliva. Thanks. I had completely lost the word.
@@joverstreet24 Bacteria is growing according to the ph and nutient conditions - so is a 'zoo' of potentialities depending on the terrain - which is of course influenced by many factors. The role of 'bacteria' in the human (or any other) organism is vital to the function, immunity, cognisance etc. One way of looking is electrical - ie: PH where Acidic conditions promote different species.
The cells in the body - including bone cells - are constantly and periodically renewed and constituents recycled according to need - and according to functional transport delivery. Calcium can be carried and positioned by Vit K2 which operates like a parking attendant to calcium. However electrical forces also operate - PH is an electrical attribute. The transfer of ionic material is part of electrical circuit or current flow in fluids and gases.
I have always felt connected with the way this great mind used his intellect to explain things. I'm almost tempted to say we have similar ways of looking at this wonderful universe, my iq may not be as high as his but I have been able to relate to many of his insights and perspectives of looking at the world, and many of his videos have helped me embark in my own personal mental journeys to understand the universe a little better. I am very thankful to be alive at this moment in history were our understanding of ourselves has surpassed expectations yet we have only scratched the surface of the grand scale of what the universe is.
the music of this documentary is beautiful
Jethro Tull???
Just got to love this guy - what a mind! And what a sense of humor.
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
He found out things discovered in 1739 when he was only 14. I could live 100 years and I wouldn't find out things discovered before Christ.
Ok you made a statement - but what about accepting that you made that statement as a persistence of a pattern, and that you can choose to take that statement and open it to another point of view?
Then without changing anything you allow fresh information about your self and your relationship to your world.
In a sense I am saying you could resonate in a like frequency rather than polarising a comparison and accepting it as a conclusion. You have your own talents, interests and joys. He was encouraged to challenge and be curious and so he was more able to follow what he found interesting. Society does not often teach us this, because we associate it with getting into trouble.
Gaudio Wind hhhhhhhhh....buddy...u v got a humour beyond time..no worries
@@DannyPhantumm Oh, the irony... He spoke like a normal person who is trying to communicate an idea. You, on the other hand, sounded like what you claim him to be. Both the way you started your comment and the way you ended your comment are idiotic.
Just giving you something to think about,
A
@@DannyPhantumm I have discord but I see no need for it regarding the kind of discussion we are having.
@@DannyPhantumm You are indeed assuming - and your assumptions are your own cast and scripting. What I suggest you mean is that you would regard yourself in such a way if you were to behave as you judge me to be acting. If I had your background - perhaps I would write as you do.
I have no desire to speak new wine into the old paradigm - and yet the phrasing of my written discourse is not my design so much as my attempt to clothe felt meanings in consciously accepted terms.
I have no interest in changing anyone's viewpoint - so much as waking the nature of a viewpoint as a choice. In your awareness of your own choice are you free to choose anew or differently - but while defending or attacking a viewpoint you are in effect 'locked in'.
Intelligence is to my appreciation innate - and everyone is embodying it as their current expression. Blocks to intelligence are in effect learned or acquired - not least of which is the self inflation of self-specialness set over and against others. If you see me setting my person over or others under - then point it out. I regard much casual language as corrupted by such insinuation and so I don't run it.
If you can make a point without attacking or undermining another - why would you not? Perhaps because you will 'lose impact' and become irrelevant to the addiction to drama.
I extend the ideas - as best I can - as an invitation to be considered as willingness and resonance move you. You are free to engage in them or use them to whatever purpose you are currently 'alive in' or accepting as true of you.
Unlike a physical meeting, I set out in my preferred framework and terms. If we met I would listen and tune into a shared willingness and as a mutual resonance may then find a rich communication.
I cant recall what the points were - as I am responding in a side box. But that you extend a communication to me is a touch of some resonant and some dissonant qualities. Like interference patterns in a vessica pisces. But we are each tuned somewhat differently - however - hello ;-)
I've seen this many times and every time I see it I get pleasantly surprised by "Living In The Past". :))
Fascinating man. His accent and cadence just reminds me of Art Carney playing Ralph Kramden.
He is child like. His passion and curiosity for everything is amazing.
I like Feynman and Jethro Tull ;-)
So you're also Think As A Brick aye
