I had the privilege of being his student and he supervised my doctoral dissertation. His brilliance as a physicist was only matched by his extraordinary gifts as a teacher. He drew the best out of everyone of his students. He. Was funny and witty but kind and gracious. And there was that accent! Didn’t he realize that Nobel-Prize winners weren’t suppose to sound like Brooklyn Dodger fans? He was also an artist. Most of all he was an educator; he made minds grow. I’ll never be able to loose the phrase, “jiggling atoms” from my vocabulary. He died too young and we shall not see his like again.

I also knew him, but from continuing ed classes at Hughes Aircraft. I had quite a few chats with him, almost every week after class. "Jiggling" was definitely his favorite word. I still wonder if that had anything to do with his hanging out in strip clubs. I love listening to his famous Cornell lecture on QM and reflecting on the fact that he sounds just like the Ed Norton character from The Honeymooners. If you ever have a chance to see Alan Alda play him in QED, DO NOT MISS IT. It was just like another visit with him. He once crushed me in a philosophical argument over whether partons had any reality other than being a quantum number if, in principle, one cannot observe an isolated parton. All he said was "Prove to me [by direct observation] that a brick has an inside... Surely you don't mean to suggest that bricks don't "actually" have insides just because you can't see them." Later I read that EXACT SAME argument about something else in "Surely You're Joking". I got punked! Not only was he a great teacher, he was a great and humble learner [the only thing he may have been humble about :)]. He once picked my brains about some basics about feedback control theory, of which he was completely ignorant at the time. He needed to understand it for a project he was working on. A week later, he was an expert on the subject.

This man’s books, videos, and lectures always remind me why I choose to do this; because science is fun and beautiful and you have to remember that that’s why you do it, not for a paycheck or a piece of paper or a title, but because it’s this fun, wonderful thing to be explored.

When I was a kid going to high school (Pasadena High School), I was a member of the Calculus Club. Occasionally we had this quirky professor come over from Caltech and tutor us. (There were only about a dozen of us in the Calc Club.) Professor Richard didn't seem to be very interested in teaching us math or physics. He was more interested in getting us to think, be inquisitive, think outside the box, ask questions, don't follow conventional wisdom. (At the time there were new technologies being developed to look at the world differently. Mankind was beginning to explore space with satellites and probes. New instruments were being developed to examine the world around us - like the electron microscope). Professor Richard had a profound impact on the way I saw the world around me. I didn't know him as Dr. Richard Feynman, Nobel Prize winner; he was just Professor Richard........

Over the years, spurred on by my dad's enthusiasm I've plowed through reading Feynman's books and watching his lectures, somehow makes me feel closer to my dad...I'm pretty sure he inspired my dad to pick up the bongos...and why I have some too. *We were all lucky to live in a time that produced such an amazing mind.. gotta love it...the constant jiggling💕

You can see his brain chemistry getting flooded with dopamine and seratonin..etc and you can hear it in his voice as his throat muscles tighten of happiness talking about a coffee cup getting warmer. The reason he's achieved so much is because he doesnt get bored of thinking. if you get more happiness watching youtube over studying, then thats what youre going to be good at: watching videos. Now if you enjoy watching lectures then you are as lucky because you can learn and be amazing at anything you enjoy. -Note to self

Interviewer explains his easy question again and again and then when the interviewer says it's a reasonable question, the old guy actually snaps and cuts him off because he's already annoyed that A) he's being asked a question he doesn't know how to answer and B) the interviewer is looking at him saying it's a perfectly reasonable (aka: easy) question, which is what actually set him off because he knows he can't explain something the interviewer is suggesting is a simple question, which makes him seem and feel dumb, because he is. He then spends the next 7 minutes belittling the guy in one of the most passive-aggressive mansplaining instances the world has ever seen. And I hate the word mansplain. But all it culminated to was "they just do". Cool answer. ICP could've talked about magnets in greater detail. And if you think explaining that feeling of a ball between repelling magnets isn't easy, because that was the interviewer's actual question, then you can speak to my third grade teacher and get more insight ok?

@john templeplate Secret message at the end 🤫 1. You brought up doctors caring about the how and why. Your words: "If a doctor said "Science doesn't care WHY things happen, we care about HOW they happen?" 2. There is no allowing Feynman to do anything. He's been dead since 1988, and I'm not him. Not everyone we listen to is going to agree with us, which is why independent thinking is important. 3. You're picking at my wording because you don't have an actual defense. You didn't like how I didn't answer your questions, yet even when I did you found something wrong with them. You're doing everything you can to not answer the actual question. If you're not against the wording then you're speaking as if you know me. Or you'll ask an idiotic question. Or you'll call me dumb, that part was worn out the 2nd time around. 4. We're both bored, but you called out for attention to feel smart. I fed into it thinking you had something worth actual value, maybe knew something I didn't. I don't really know much about Feynman, so I was more than open to a different opinion about him. However you just wasted your time bickering like a child. 5. The game was fun but I'm bored of the back and forth, and you're still acting like a child. Yes, my name is "Dumb Mathematician", you got me. But if you're going to insult me at least make it a good one. I know a 6 year old who has more creativity than that. For anyone else who read this far, hey how ya doing.

@Johannes Schmitz When someone asks me what rain is and I say it is water that falls from the clouds is that an explanation or a description? That the rain falls from the sky might be a description but the cloud part of it? Do you know what I mean? How we usually explaine (describe?) the difference seems to focus on perceived "obviousness". Maybe that the rain comes from the clouds seems obvious to me. It is simply something I perceive as given. When Newton said that a bodys movement is fully determined by the forces acting on it, is that an explanation? Or is the concept of forces so obvious that it was actually just a describtion?

@Peter Schmidts when you describe things you generally point out things as you perceive them without necessarily understanding it. when you explain something you have an understanding about something (be it right or not) that you want to convey to a person. In day to day language describe and explain are used interchangeably sometimes, though.

I believe it would be practically impossible to ever experience a dull moment with this intriguing gentleman, one could never go hungry for food for thought while engaged in conversation with this brilliant man, I’m in a state of deep thought just listening to him. I can imagine sitting down with him over coffee or a bite to eat and when the time came to say goodbye, I know I’d walk away with a mind full of questions, curiosity, and a craving to learn more and more, sitting at a table with this man, and or others who hunger for knowledge and desire to share what knowledge they hold, would be no less then awesome, you would never see anyone immersed in distraction by their cellphones at the table, I know I’d be far too interested in what was being said to even notice my phone, Id be so immersed I may not even notice if my hair was on fire🤔🔥

10:01 People used think that photosynthesis takes the carbon oxide and strips away the oxygen and combines the carbon with water to produces sugars for years. But then some scientists started to wonder and made special water with radioactive oxygen and tested what really happens and behold, the oxygen released by the plant was radioactive. So they realised that it is not the carbon-oxygen bond that is broken but the hydrogen-oxygen bond in the water. Feynman died before this was known so no shame to him. So this implies that water molecules are broken down all the time by sunlight in photosynthesis. New ones are created in cellular respiration where corbohydrades are burned down with oxygen. So if someone tells you that you are drinking ancient pee you can tell them that that water probably does not exist anymore.

I had the privilege of being his student and he supervised my doctoral dissertation. His brilliance as a physicist was only matched by his extraordinary gifts as a teacher. He drew the best out of everyone of his students. He. Was funny and witty but kind and gracious. And there was that accent! Didn’t he realize that Nobel-Prize winners weren’t suppose to sound like Brooklyn Dodger fans? He was also an artist. Most of all he was an educator; he made minds grow. I’ll never be able to loose the phrase, “jiggling atoms” from my vocabulary. He died too young and we shall not see his like again.

I also knew him, but from continuing ed classes at Hughes Aircraft. I had quite a few chats with him, almost every week after class. "Jiggling" was definitely his favorite word. I still wonder if that had anything to do with his hanging out in strip clubs. I love listening to his famous Cornell lecture on QM and reflecting on the fact that he sounds just like the Ed Norton character from The Honeymooners. If you ever have a chance to see Alan Alda play him in QED, DO NOT MISS IT. It was just like another visit with him. He once crushed me in a philosophical argument over whether partons had any reality other than being a quantum number if, in principle, one cannot observe an isolated parton. All he said was "Prove to me [by direct observation] that a brick has an inside... Surely you don't mean to suggest that bricks don't "actually" have insides just because you can't see them." Later I read that EXACT SAME argument about something else in "Surely You're Joking". I got punked! Not only was he a great teacher, he was a great and humble learner [the only thing he may have been humble about :)]. He once picked my brains about some basics about feedback control theory, of which he was completely ignorant at the time. He needed to understand it for a project he was working on. A week later, he was an expert on the subject.

When I was a kid going to high school (Pasadena High School), I was a member of the Calculus Club. Occasionally we had this quirky professor come over from Caltech and tutor us. (There were only about a dozen of us in the Calc Club.) Professor Richard didn't seem to be very interested in teaching us math or physics. He was more interested in getting us to think, be inquisitive, think outside the box, ask questions, don't follow conventional wisdom. (At the time there were new technologies being developed to look at the world differently. Mankind was beginning to explore space with satellites and probes. New instruments were being developed to examine the world around us - like the electron microscope). Professor Richard had a profound impact on the way I saw the world around me. I didn't know him as Dr. Richard Feynman, Nobel Prize winner; he was just Professor Richard........

Your words: "If a doctor said "Science doesn't care WHY things happen, we care about HOW they happen?" 2. There is no allowing Feynman to do anything. He's been dead since 1988, and I'm not him. Not everyone we listen to is going to agree with us, which is why independent thinking is important. 3. You're picking at my wording because you don't have an actual defense. You didn't like how I didn't answer your questions, yet even when I did you found something wrong with them. You're doing everything you can to not answer the actual question. If you're not against the wording then you're speaking as if you know me. Or you'll ask an idiotic question. Or you'll call me dumb, that part was worn out the 2nd time around. 4. We're both bored, but you called out for attention to feel smart. I fed into it thinking you had something worth actual value, maybe knew something I didn't. I don't really know much about Feynman, so I was more than open to a different opinion about him. However you just wasted your time bickering like a child. 5. The game was fun but I'm bored of the back and forth, and you're still acting like a child. Yes, my name is "Dumb Mathematician", you got me. But if you're going to insult me at least make it a good one. I know a 6 year old who has more creativity than that. For anyone else who read this far, hey how ya doing.

Same when you burn coal except the tree did the storing a few million years ago.

What a great guy. I've known of him for a while but this is the first time I've seen him and heard him speak and I suddenly feel such affection for him. Lol. What a lovely man. I was a bit of a physics and chemistry dunce. I always wondered why our strange teacher {and he was strange) kept making models with sticks attached to coloured ping pong balls. I used to stare at him and think, why is this strange man doing that? I think Mr Feynman could have explained it.

The guy asks him an impossible "Why?" question and Feynman, gentleman that he was, super intellect that he was, fashions an answer that amounts to a masterful essay on the very nature of asking why.

Seeing someone having so much fun while doing something is certainly contagious. Great scientist like him always have genuinely childish curiosity which makes listening and watching them share their knowlegde so interesting for us.

It is amazing how exited he gets :). At moments you can see he has to clam himself down because he realizes he is too exited. That is real passion.

@Johannes Schmitz The use is me having fun to think about it :). But i think its also interesting in the context of epistemology. When do we know or understand something? When we can describe it? Or explain it?

@Johannes Schmitz When someone asks me what rain is and I say it is water that falls from the clouds is that an explanation or a description? That the rain falls from the sky might be a description but the cloud part of it? Do you know what I mean? How we usually explaine (describe?) the difference seems to focus on perceived "obviousness". Maybe that the rain comes from the clouds seems obvious to me. It is simply something I perceive as given. When Newton said that a bodys movement is fully determined by the forces acting on it, is that an explanation? Or is the concept of forces so obvious that it was actually just a describtion?
Vor 8 MonateJohannes Schmitz
@Peter Schmidts when you describe things you generally point out things as you perceive them without necessarily understanding it. when you explain something you have an understanding about something (be it right or not) that you want to convey to a person. In day to day language describe and explain are used interchangeably sometimes, though.

Can he be my new best friend!!! I believe it would be practically impossible to ever experience a dull moment with this intriguing gentleman, one could never go hungry for food for thought while engaged in conversation with this brilliant man, I’m in a state of deep thought just listening to him. I can imagine sitting down with him over coffee or a bite to eat and when the time came to say goodbye, I know I’d walk away with a mind full of questions, curiosity, and a craving to learn more and more, sitting at a table with this man, and or others who hunger for knowledge and desire to share what knowledge they hold, would be no less then awesome, you would never see anyone immersed in distraction by their cellphones at the table, I know I’d be far too interested in what was being said to even notice my phone, Id be so immersed I may not even notice if my hair was on fire🤔🔥

I think if adults explained the world to kids in a fashion like Feynman, there would be a massive improvement in future generations. Instead we tell kids that about fairy tales and anything to euthanize their interest. Feynman was the uncle we all deserved.

10:01 People used think that photosynthesis takes the carbon oxide and strips away the oxygen and combines the carbon with water to produces sugars for years. But then some scientists started to wonder and made special water with radioactive oxygen and tested what really happens and behold, the oxygen released by the plant was radioactive. So they realised that it is not the carbon-oxygen bond that is broken but the hydrogen-oxygen bond in the water. Feynman died before this was known so no shame to him. So this implies that water molecules are broken down all the time by sunlight in photosynthesis. New ones are created in cellular respiration where corbohydrades are burned down with oxygen. So if someone tells you that you are drinking ancient pee you can tell them that that water probably does not exist anymore.

He's amazing. The way he simplifies things so much that even a person uneducated in his field of study can understand. He's gone and still teaching people. Hes an amazing person. We fail at appreciating the people that have something to offer when they are here...we only notice what we had when it's gone. And yet we don't change our ways..we continue to waste intelligence.
