Feynman is one of those man who I felt have really enjoyed their life.
He really loved his job, even when he was terminally ill with cancer, he was key member in Challenger disaster team.
Yeah.... It was sad that he finally got permission to enter Tuva the day after he died...
@@bubblezovlove7213 It was the sadness of audiences but not the sadness of him. He enjoyed his life till the last day.
Very True!👍
yes, me too. i am theoretical physicist.
So much excitement in his voice as he talks, amazing.
passion.

"I think nature's imagination is so much greater than mans, she's never gonna let us relax." - Feynman
This is true
We are the Mind of the World; person[ification]s of its own Nature.
@kuldeep It is ,"he who cause to become" you are describing. Jehovah is the alpha and the omega. The beginning and the end. Deuteronomy 10:14 Exodus 6:3
"The inconcievable nature of nature."
Those could be the words of someone who has just experienced a DMT trip.
It has crossed my mind after coming out of a DMT trip: “Did I just see consciousness at the subatomic level?”……. Probably not!
Happy Birthday Dr Feynman
In a way the remarkable thing is that he isn't just a super-smart genius, but this gives an impression of a different sort of mind, who *does* find a lot of it baffling and bizarre... which maybe is what contributes to his being so good at explaining, because he needs an explanation that satisfies *himself* as well
The best way to understand something is to break it down into the most simplest way of thinking or analogy. Its how I like to view the world. Its crazy how these supposed geniuses are just normal guys who just love what they do. We can all be geniuses. Its the will were missing.
It does take a lot of hard work, and willingness to accept that things are not as you initially perceive them. I guess that is imagination, which Feynman had in abundance. He also is very honest about what he understands and what he doesn't understand, which is a kind of scientific humility. He recognized where we are deluding ourselves about 'understanding' something. And so he knew what was a worthwhile question to ask or problem to solve.
Well he is a genius. He won a Pulitzer Prize. I think that’s you projecting onto him when he’s just acting humble. He’s trying to communicate here. If he wanted to he could break into nothing but jargon and big words.
I like to imagine there's a nine year old kid somewhere watching this who will fall in love with science, become a physicist and inspire his daughter to resolve cold fusion, saving mankind.
I really hope that happens. But for every smart person like that, there will be 100 idiots believing in Q-Anon and Trump Lies.
So it takes two whole generations even in your imagination? :=(
The thinking now is that it may be impossible. Atoms don't give up their energy willingly and so easily. czcams.com/video/FrUWoywZRt8/video.html

watched it 11 years ago , only became a physics teacher tho ...
"...but I really can't do a good job..ANY job of explaining ____________ in terms of something else that you're more familiar with because I don't understand it in terms of anything else that you're more familiar with."
Is an extremely important quote that has particular importance these days.
''so it's stored Sun, that's coming out when you burn it''
I think that this interview is stored Sun through Richard's life.
Can you feel the heat of passion for knowledge he's radiating? Such an amazing human he was!
Are you a real person
no thats his point everything is stored sun!!!!
Yeah, pretty much.
@@bimsaragamage5996 Is that a real question
How lucky are those who had him as dad, a teacher, a mate. He makes learning so exciting and full of enthusiasm and so easy and fun. In total awe and admiration 💖
“I think nature’s imagination is so much greater than man’s, that she’s never gonna let us relax.”
When he got passionate and smile, I see Robin Williams. Such a giant.
I once had my own Feynman moment as I was making tea and suddenly realized that the movement of the water boiling on the stove was the movement of water going through a dam and transferred over miles and miles through wires - blew my mind
Everytime he smiles, i smile :)
What a brilliant wonderful man! It's a delight listening to him.
Brilliant, I've always wanted to see the full version of this having seen little clips here and there, cheers for posting mate.
His movement when he explains something shows the amount of pleasure he get! There should be an emoji which can illustrate his smile, or an sticker should be there 😊
That bit about two human beings thinking about same thing but in different manners on the fundamental level, is, one of the most fascinating assertion I have heard in my entire life. And the reasoning was so well articulated even a kid from a high school could understand the underlaying assertion.
I love the way he thinks, and therefore the way he's able to explain the world around us. Brilliant.
The amount of passion he speaks is unbelievable! I finished the whole video with an inexplicable smile on my face :)
Me too
The 1 hour didn't felt anything. Just drowned in his smile and words. Wish if he would be my teacher...
I had never heard of Richard Feynman when I read his book."Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman!"
And yet from the very outset, I felt like I was walking through the mind of a consummate genius.
This man explain you things and teach you how to explain them to other people.
Authentic genius.
Thank you very much for sharing this wonderful interview with one of the best physicists of the 21st century 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼. Excellent quality 👌🏼
He's talking/explaining 'magic' with 'non-magic' in the most interesting and mysterious ways all the meanwhile being so enthusiastic about it, makes you wonder about the charges in this man trying to 'smooth' out to us, to 'cancel' out, to find an outlet and propagate, his 'jiggling' making us 'jiggle' ;) He was not trying to obscure, he was simply trying to enlighten.
This man was full of light that still propagates among us to this time.
Wow! Fantastic, I want to share it with every curious mind.
This honestly feels like such a safe place. I love this man what an icon.
THIS!
What a treat to watch Feynman! Thanks you for posting this wonderful series!
Thank you, Christopher. Always sharing for the betterment of us all your wonderful work. ❤️
You are a champion for putting this up. Thank you so much. This is Feynman at his best.
Great post Chris, we are lucky to have a full production of this brilliant man speaking
thank you for posting it! love from germany
Thank you for this...
this guy 3 years later will use his explanation of how rubber loses elasticity in cold to introduce in the challenger explosion investigation.
He really pissed off a lot of higher ups at NASA, but he was telling the dirty truth
I noticed this phenomenon while figuring out why/how my hot tub was leaking. It leaked less when the temperature rose, because the source of the leak was around a rubber gasket. At least that makes sense to me.
@@tommitchell4570 Yeah they didn't see as they should be critised at all and the little poeple should be blamed. Feynman said Not a chance ! If you want my name on this investigation I will put reality in the driving seat and nothing else. All else is just madness and is a big part of what caused this. (Or similar words to that effect anyway)
@@tommitchell4570 the higher ups at NASA were morons at the time.
Finally！Great videos. Thanks a lot.
Genius, you have the ability to explain complicated things in a simple entertaining way. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us.
55:04 "...I was an ordinary person who studied hard". I love the way he says this.
Wow man, fantastic -- thanks for the upload! Feynman has a way of presenting science for everyone to enjoy. You can see it in his face. This guy is authentic as they come and second to none. I love you, man!
Literally mind blowing!
Just amazing and really fun to watch ! Thanks
Thanks for posting this..
Feynman's observations of how individuals must mentally form unique images for understanding, requiring translations to facilitate conversation was profound. I think this is what let's some people deal with great complexities as if they were trivial. I wish I could have met this great man.
NICE, been looking forward to this
His ability to translate such complex yet fundamental properties into examples and definitions that are understandable to the everyday person is so special, which I feel is a missing part of science; the idea that although great things and ideas are there or are known they are still not common knowledge or common belief due to the fact that they cannot be understood by most
i think this is at least the 10th time i am watching this doc, with Feynman it is so much fun imagining. love it.
this guy is amazing
Thank's for this.
Yooo, man you’re golden for posting this!!
If only we can all grow up without letting go of the childlike passion and curiosity. Richard Feynman was truly one of a kind.
Thanks for sharing
The quality is amazing
A joy to listen to his passion😍
The greatest teacher I never had
Thanks for the upload - Quality is fine, man!
lmfao, i think no one is getting it loool
Thanks for the good quality upload.
Seen it before a few times but in very pixelated bad quality vids.
Many thanks.
Best educator, _ever._
Thank you.
55:55 best thing I have ever heard about subjective thought and our internal ways of dealing and grasping the world around us
Thank you the translator
the worlds needs more people & teachers like him
What blows me away is how good mathematics is at describing how things interact with each other. Things, that are so tiny they can't be seen, can be subjected to a force, and their response accurately predicted. QED for example.
What a great personality and a great teacher. It's hard to believe that this guy was a math nerd when he was a kid.
optional Chinese subtitles... far out Man... you think of everything Mr Sykes... thanks
謝謝🙏平安✌️
it's very difficult to learn the technical words in conversational exchange between people... unless you are talking to someone about it... somehow quarks and muons just don't come up very often in most conversations...
夸克
but I asked Ms Google... the ancient Chinese word for quark... pronounced... kuaké
✌️
ok... I would like to make a couple comments... along the way... this is probably the 4th or 5th viewing of this conversation with Dr Feynman... a good teacher gets us to think about the subject.. and... I've been thinking.. and working in my little lab here in the Sierra Estrella in Arizona..
jiggling atoms and heat spreading from hot to cold... like pressure.. moves from higher pressure to lower pressure... a la Max Planck circa 1900... in the German education system, college bound students and the hoi polloi who are expected to go to work are separated after the first 6 years... most kids learn a trade and go to work.. Max Planck and his cohorts in Gymnasio did not weld.. solder... or brase... physicists... even my dad.. who taught me how to solder plumbing and wire... failed to recognize the implications.. metals follow heat... move towards the heat, rather than away from it.. so.. here in the MountainSmith workshop and laboratory.. I figured out how to isolate platinum and palladium from volcanic ash by heating a low melting point metal in various flavors of volcanic ash.. with a flux of borax.. the platinum requires more heat.. palladium is done with a small propane torch like we use to solder plumbing.. platinum I have to get out the big guns... a plasma cutter from Amazon.. 135 dollars of heavy infrastructure to create the most useful metals in the World.. from volcanic ash... there are layers of it all over the Planet hundreds of meters deep... so it's not rare or hard to find.. unless you think it's all moving away from the heat... it isn't..
this is what happens when you have to pay for everything yourself
ok.. back to the good Dr Feynman
Somehow this makes me smile :D
When he asked about magnets 🧲 and said that it’s a perfectly reasonable question. Then instantaneously Feynmen replied, ofc it’s a perfectly reasonable question, it’s an excellent question.
An excellent question which, after some awkward epistemological dissembling, he finally admits he has no answer to.
He answered how magnets work many times throughout the whole interview. In this instance, the question was “why do magnets feel like...” and he tangentially went on to explain how the philosophy of “why” is such a difficult question.
@@michaelwells6075 He certainly has an answer, but he can't explain quantum field theory in 2 seconds to someone who isn't a physics phd
He mannaged to answer a question of ''why'', to then explain the ''how'', while answering that the ''why's'' don't help to understand Physics, Life and the Universe when you are not versed on things that requires deep and strong basic knowledge to even start to make a question about.
@@michaelwells6075 he knew perfectly well how to answer that basic question...he was using it as an example to dig into the ultimate " why to everything " and explain that they're connected in a chain block ..pealing it layer by layer..you end up on bottom of one particular definition which happens to be the top layer of another one...I am sorry but you made it sound like one of the greatest minds was trying to steer out of a very basic question..
Thank god for the chinese subtitles
True scientist and educator at work,, he talks like poetry,,,
He literally radiates energy like how
British guy will NEVER ask about magnets again..lol 🤣
The amazing Mr. Faynman
i love this!
everything i do needs to fulfill the fun factor.
when its fun, i love to do it!
I wish I could understand the world better so I could have such enthusiasm for just thinking about that world like RF did. A thousand years of knowledge turning on a dime.
Physics and ultimate causation is important- but in most cases a simple story is sufficient. I am saying this while listening to to the great Mr. Feynman. So- even if we can know more and more and more- ultimate cause and effect will Not ever be known- maybe in the realm of philosophy but not even then. If such was “known”, there would be no field of study anymore and people could just go to sleep knowing everything is solved and there are no more questions. To me- it’s these constant questions which gets me going! We search for answers but also hope the questions never end.
Sir Feynman is so curious
I like him a lot😀😀😀😀
THIS is what understanding looks like
For me the excitement and genuine pleasure he finds in knowing how things really are is a yardstick by which our children should be thought how to think, too often memorising answers is the way our children are thought how to think and that to me robs the child and us of so much pleasure ,we name sake the bird in every language but know fuckall about the bird himself, such a true statement, I wish I was thought how to think like that when I was young I probably wouldn't have the depression now
Amazing
"The world is a dynamic mess of jiggling things." Wow. He was so good at explaining.
i figured out how to switch between "voice in head" counting and visual counting.
my default was voice. i started to visualise those numbers like feynman described and then i changed the sound i made in my head for each number so that it was just one word. then i reduced it to some noise like hum and from that i faded it completely so i was left with just an image in my head without any "sound".
pretty interesting. i really could talk while imagining it.
yum, bookmarking this for later!
Exciting
Curiosity never gets old!
fantastico!
The way he talks is very unpretentious, he totally achieved his goal of making science more accessible and I think a big part of that was his personal affect/ way of talking about things.
I love the part where he talks about why questions. It really shows his genius.
That is his worst response, ever. He totally messed that up.
@@schmetterling4477 how did he mess that up i thought it was great?
@Sand niggardly I think it is the other way around...
Awesome. Can you imagine inviting him to tea and feeding him wine. What an experience that would be?
Jam Mogwai while listening to this... nice treat. Mogwai - Young Team
Should be played in all schools.
Now I know where did Sheldon Cooper got his laughing expression from :))) Awesome video. Thanks for uploading.
I think what we absorb from our environment effects how we visualize and understand different concepts. In my opinion that is why mythology is important because you can begin to understand personality and how that person perceives the world. Then you can understand how to teach in a way their brain can grasp and visualize the subject. It would be easier if everyone was on the same wavelength but different ways of perceiving whatever your studying can lead to innovation that others might overlook.
It’s like training for imagination. It’s kinda fun.
A wonderful human
大師的表面張力想像，讓我聯想到萬頭竄動的難民潮的最外圍難民始終擠不進去賑災核心的窘迫。
I saw this when it first aired in the 80s... been referring back through the decades... and I STILL want to know...
"... It's so enormous, that if I was all electrons... well, the numbers are too big..." I wanna know where he was going with it!!!
Never seen this guy but because of this video I literally now understand
Check out his Tannu Tuva story... Hilarious
vincent anguoni I’m gonna jump on that right now
Thanks
Blitz Gordon mesmerising for sure
Any recommendations with talkers as enthusiastic as Feynman ?
@@King-balloon Feynman was in a league of his own so I've really not found anything like it. I really recommend his books on physics and stories from his life. And his lectures on QED and the lectures on Physics from Cornell Uni. Other Physics stuff that is fun is Brady Harans´s channel here on CZcams Sixty Symbols
Blitz Gordon cheers I’ll defo check them out.
Bit gutted there isn’t any more feymans though
Wow !! 😳I’ve probably watched this same video 10/20 times ? But I’ve finally realised the meaning of why ?at least I think so🤔?
I adore him
I love this interview. Does anyone know similiar interviews of "great minds"? Maybe in psychology?
I love when this guy laughs.
36min. sure is good explanation if the wheels on a train are solidly connected on the axle. I think as the wheels are not driven, the wheels are allowed to freewheel on the ends of the axles and are able to spin at independent speeds on curves in the track. Not sure what happens with the driven wheels in the engines-I imagine some sort of differential? like cars have differentials on the driven wheels but the non driven wheels are free to spin independently.
From my personal experience, it's way more hard to find an interested person with the will and strength to really deeply follow the lesson, (no matter how much gifted, wise, excited the teacher is), than to find a person with the will and strength to give the lesson. (no need to be really gifted and wise, but simply capable of teaching what just learned).
What kind of hater nonsense is this? 😂
Be honest. Did you apply for a position in education and not get the job, or did a teacher accidentally run over your dog during their commute to work one morning?
I'm just curious, that's all.
P.S. - RIP Sparky 🐾
@@poppyallgood6918 What kind of hater nonsense is your reply?
Be honest. Did you try to understand my above post, or did you even try to read it to the end?
I'm just curious, that's all.
If yes, then try again but slowly this time.
P.S. Almost 70% of people globally, don't understand what they read. 😏
I’m guessing you never went to college? Lol. Yes it’s like that in high school when you take science lessons with future auto mechanics and Panda Express managers.
@@smkxodnwbwkdns8369 LOL ...so many arrogant kids nowadays.... What is worst, they don't even understand what they read.
