[@Olibaby12]

[@fd7231]

@ 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.

[@beldiman5870]

@@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.

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

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! :)

Im so happy we have these Feynman videos that will live forever. I think he would have had a special appreciation for his new digital existence.

[@CurlBro15]

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 :)

[@cajones9330]

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 ?

the incredible fine tuning of the calculations for limitations

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.

@@kimwilson7150 Maxwell's equations imply relativity. They show that the speed of light is always the same, which is a relativistic assumption.

He was simply on a different level to most of us. A different wavelength you might say.

I just love watching how excited he gets just simply, thinking.

He was one of my dad's professors at Caltech. My dad said he was a character. Then he had me read all his books. He was a character.

This is verbal beauty.

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.....

A little kid.....unable to understand the whole concept but the part I understand is because of his interesting way of explanation..... Thank you to this Legend 🙏

Have you tried looking around in the places you've been? Though honestly that seldom works for finding something I've lost.

[@Johny40Se7en]

What a bloody lovely way to explain focus, perception and interpretation 😊🥰
