[@ibrahimnoon]

Always a pleasure listening about Feynman especially from speakers such as Kip Thorne.

[@mikethareaper1789]

As i was listening to this i fell asleep and i dreamt i was with him and he was sort of teaching me things and seeing if i could solve certain things it was pretty cool it really was him!

[@DM-wm9rb]

I also had met richard Feynman and Walter Lewin together in my dream.

[@sustainabilityspeaking7817]

I was born in '66, and and and , I am now a 54 year old Environmental Tech student, Eh! peace , love your honor of Feynman. Cheers; Peace Wow! Richard Feynman.

[@rohitnair9304]

Feynman fascinates me and hearing so many anecdotes of him was quite an experience. I enjoyed it thoroughly. Thanks for sharing.

[@dancooper8551]

Absolutely love this!!

[@drbonesshow1]

His daughter is actually an adopted member of the Feynman family.

[@RealDukeOfEarl]

Renews my envy for all those who were fortunate enough to be taught by this amazing man.

[@navneetmishra3208]

Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful talk of legends.

[@smrd0110]

That was delightful. Thank-you.

[@ssjiv5610]

Thank you so much for sharing :)

[@logosera]

Thanks so much for uploading this. I’m trying to study physics as a beginner but keep getting distracted by Feynman and his stories!

[@ThePatsyMusic]

honestly, what kind of man can bring a room full of great, briliant, and proud people to such raw emotion? Im a smart fucker, but Im a total loser, a complete and utter fuckup, failure in every sense. But somehow if I stay close to feynman, life is worth it. being different, is easier. Being free, if i could be brave enough, is something worth aspiring for. Thank you Feynman, we all owe you a great debt, whether we have heard of you or not.

[@Bantombs]

I TOTALLY AGREE

[@bikerfirefarter7280]

What is/are your criteria for being a winner/successful/free?

[@ThePatsyMusic]

@@bikerfirefarter7280 looks like an emotional moment from my meth and alcohol days. The answer for ya - don’t take too many drugs and don’t drink too much alcohol.

[@bikerfirefarter7280]

@@ThePatsyMusic Hi Pats, How you doing? I never did meth etc, no appeal to me; a bit of weed decades ago, little drink these days. But you didn't answer my question, you just gave reasonable advice. So, what are your criteria? Peace.

[@ThePatsyMusic]

Well. I can’t really help too much. But I’ll try. I have been diagnosed with a terminal brain cancer called glioblastoma. I’m just waiting for the scans to tell me it’s coming back, which it will. So I’m spending what time I have left doing music which is my thing, with my partner, who broke her back in 2016 falling off a balcony. Search “bast n move - dancing on the sun”. The weird dude running around is me. I don’t know I have no books to sell but I can say, when this happens, you’re on the other side of the line that decides the living from the dead. I have had experiences that inform me it’s not the end, but that’s my personal experience, not something I try to make anyone else believe. Anyway - imagine you’re on the other side of that line like I am, to evolve and learn how to love, and that you’re trying to do something to leave behind of value - to others. I was told many years from something that was not a human, the meaning of life is to evolve and to learn how to love. I hope you are well, but if not, I hope I can in some way ameliorate your anomie. Peace!

Thank you 👏

To answer all the questions is this, we all lived so far a certain way by being an acknowledge of things and to explain maybe how one could be wiser then another being a brother even, but I based on how much of one's time is put into thought vs otherwise. I'd say it's one's experiences. So ur waiting to ride the Rollercoaster n in that time u talked n hung out like most others by you persay, but for example me, I thought on what I question had interest in n so much even unconsciencely cause I'd bring a minded attention to it as to acknowledge I am doing it as a memo to say wow, I even think of it during the day while I thought I wast n that question to how a thought of question gives an answer all the sudden without the awareness of thinking about it....

[@wavydaveyparker]

Hello Everyone, Sorry for arriving late to class! But, I have something to say and you’re not going to believe this... but, I actually stumbled across this idea all by myself! I made a video inspired by Feynman’s lecture and was working on a follow up explanation, where I’ve decided to actually use his audio to explain the misconception over tides... but, I could really do with some help here! Where can I get my hands on the ‘bongo’ drumming and class noise audio you used in your examples? Any help you could give me would be greatly appreciated, as I now want to complete this video, just as my very own tribute to Richard, to thank him for all the inspiration he’s provided over the years. Regards Wavy.

[@TrevorSchmahl]

Is there actual footage from the lectures in existence or available? Would love to watch them.

Feynman was the Ed Norton (The Honeymooners) of physics.

[@ufozencom]

Finally around 16 minutes there is something about Feynman.

[@david-joeklotz9558]

The whole video is about Prof Feynman. These are his students and their stories tell you so much about him

I couldn't hear 1:01:41 , could someone write it down? :)

TO Ralph Leighton: Please use the artist from Cosmos-2 presented by Neil deGrasse Tyson. Art is beautiful in there.

I just emailed the address listed after the lecture. I sure hope they finished those.

Innerduce It’s funny, this guy probably has a PhD and me, a 12th grade graduate, is commenting on his mispronunciation of the word introduce.

[@joelentrup6658]

Very inspiring man, he only had an IQ of 125. That didn't stop him from becoming one of the greatest physicists of all time. So you don't need to have a stellar IQ to get far in the field of Physics.

[@svtrader]

Wrong

[@sverkere]

Was 225 not 125. Cheers! Dick

[@svtrader]

@@sverkere Still wrong.

[@joelentrup6658]

@@sverkere Hey, no swearing at me. It was reported even by Feynman himself that his IQ was 125. Next time you swear at me, I’ll report you for harassment.

Yes. He helped build the bom with Him

_Not too many females_ in the original audiences.

[@MsMesem]

I was impressed as to the fact that there were a number of female physics students. It really isn't a very popular subject choice for women. I love it but don't have a good enough maths background.

[@MsMesem]

"Wax eloquent", "It was very fun" How is your English so poor if you enjoy reading so much?

[@MsMesem]

Thanks for your support. No one seems to take any notice. The saddest thing is that most English schools in Europe teach American English and listening to American speakers will often lead learners astray. I hate American spelling and have noticed that many comments made by Americans show poor ability to differenciate between homonymes eg bare and bear, their and they're. Spelling of color and tire really annoy me, it's all so lazy...

[@SuperMaDBrothers]

@@MsMesem this is physics, we dont care about stupid things like grammar

[@mikegunner1253]

@@MsMesem I too much prefer UK spelling because that's what I grew up with. I think you are wrong to tar all Americans with linguistic inabilities, they are after all from the land of Steinbeck, Maya Angelou, Vonnegut, Ray Bradbury, Harper Lee, Sylvia Plath, to name a few. And differentiate is surely spelled with a t not a Spanish-flavoured c. However I wish that my favourite newspaper, the Guardian, would desist from pandering to its American readership and stick to our original English spelling. It is almost as if American readers have to not be offended by finding a u in colour, favourite, etc. I don't care really, I still understand maneuver, defense and so on.

[@martinzitter4551]

Feynman figured things out from first principles. That's also what Elon Musk does.

[@martinzitter4551]

Yes, mathematics, physics, chemistry. Evidence, solid facts and strong theoretical stuff that can be observed, measured, calculated, challenged, falsified. Ya' know, science.

[@ThePatsyMusic]

Elon Musk is not a fucking pimple on feynmans ass. he would say so himself, I guarantee it.

[@furdfelmer4359]

Patsy M- 100% correct, Musk is not even in the universe of Feynman's intellect. Musk's IQ, would be smaller than "plank space", in comparison to Feynman's. The only thing these two men , might have in common is ...ego, but even then, Feynman could back up his ego by being, "the smartest one in the room"...Musk, will never achieve that reality.

[@ThePatsyMusic]

Geez ford, cut elon some slack, even I am the smartest man in the room - so long as im the only one in it.

[@furdfelmer4359]

It's 'furd", not "ford"...no big...and, no, I cut no slack for musk. My personal opinion , is he a con, and a self promoting, narcissistic, megalomaniac. It's my option, and I don't care who agrees, or disagree's with it. I'm not into "hero worship" or 'gurus", or 'cults"...all of which musk has built around him, of young, bright, diluted "techno nerds". His obsession for the spotlight combined with his dismal business decisions at tesla, prove, he is not the "genius", or 'visionary", his cult followers 'worship" him as. He said at a news conference , after a space x flight, " Races are fun..." in reference to the space race, between him and another narcissistic .,megalomaniac CON...bezos. Fun? I guess when you are subsidized by nasa (us taxpayers), by signing multi billion dollar contracts, as well the "partnership" agreements with the US Air Force (us taxpayer), worth more billions....of course, it''s fun...it's NOT his money at risk...and only profit to GAIN. Question, if we taxpayer are subsidizing a majority share of investment, and risk...where is our 'return on investment"...our share of the "profit" ? Musk's self centered "fun" comment, showed me, he thinks this all a game...it;s not. So, excuse me for jumping on the "musk love train", in my view he is an egotistical, idiot...other than talking good "'hype', conning many people out of money. At that, he is "brilliant".

[@qualquan]

Discuss ideas rather than personalities pictures, voices and laughs. Too much idolatry and "cultish-ness" here. Murray Gell-Mann warned Feynman was a publicity hound.
