Feynman, who was so brilliant himself, paid proper homage to Paul Dirac who intuited the original equations (in other words, he wrote down what he thought the particle-antiparticle state should be; and later proved it!) It was a massive breakthrough in a problem which had defeated the earlier theoretic physicists and pure math guys. Together with Feynman's innovative invention of his famous 'Feynman diagrams', led ultimately to the best-tested theory in physics of QED (Quantum Electro-Dynamics). Just incredible really.

Indeed he was. My old boss had him for his physics proff at CalTech. My boss went to MIT undergrad and CalTech for his Phd in nuclear engineering. My old boss told me that he was essentially a straight A student at both universities. However, he earned a C in physics from Feynman. He was angry about it, and said that Feynman intentionally made the entire course an order of magnitude more difficult than what was required to learn the subject. He said that when Feynman would walk past students in the hallway, they would express awe at his brilliance by saying, there goes the "great man". They meant it with utmost respect, which I think angered my boss even more. LOLOLOL

thank you genius cameraman who wouldn't zoom in on the projector screen.

[@RWBHere]

Early 1980's VHS technology, coupled with a then affordable camera, probably resulted in a perfectly watchable original recording, in which the projection screen was legible. Major degradation of VHS recordings happens during copying of 'domestic' recordings, and presumably this is not from the original tape. That, along with degradation of the tape with time, wear and tear of the playback machine's heads and electronics, losses and noise in the digitisation process, and finally the compression caused during KZbin's processing of the uploaded video results in a very degraded video today, It might also be the case that this video is a copy of a previously uploaded video from another channel. It often happens on YT. If you have access to a VHS player, and a professionally-produced video, please take a look at the inferior quality of the video, in comparison to modern digital recordings. A VHS tape was designed to be played back on a TV which had a resolution of 525 lines, with around 512 lines being actual picture (625 and ~612, respectively, for PAL, in most of Europe). That picture was only ~512i (~612i), at 30 (25 elsewhere) frames per second. The total _broadcast_ TV signal, with video, sound, line and frame sync pulses, colour burst, monochrome data and colour data, etc, had a total bandwidth of less than 8 MHz in even the best of TV standards. The chroma signal usually had a bandwidth of little more than 1MHz, which is around 40 kilobits per frame. Uncompressed. Compare that with the video bandwidth of your computer, which will be at least 150 MHz on even a 1080p display, and you begin to appreciate the limitations of analogue television. But with a VHS recording, several further compromises were made, because the tape and heads had severe limitations, in order to keep costs down. Total available bandwidth was around 4MHz, even on the very best recorders, and it could easily be less than 2MHz. The result was that the lines in the picture were effectively halved in comparison to a broadcast signal, hence ~256i (~300i). When you think about it, this video could have a resolution of no better than ~240p, even without any further degradation of the source material.

😮 I have no foggiest clue what he talked about, but it sounded rather good fun 😄 This whole quantum theory is a reflection of the human mind stretching and spinning around itself, trying to make sense of itself. It’s quite a religious experience with particles instead of dervishly spinning cherubim. Can consistency of the Quantum Physics model be achieved? Yeah… after introduction of further maths. However, consistency of an argument doesn’t make it valid and doesn’t inform about reality (‘reality’ which, by the way, we should keep within the horizon of human relevance). Quantum Physics is not science because how could one apply the principle of falsification? What do you test it against? Forever shifting sand dunes? But it’s fun intellectual game, I grant it that. Has anyone tried different maths? Scrap the ‘zero’ and the ‘anti’ whatever (the ‘minus’), and see. The fact there is something rather than nothing should have raised questions about the validity of the matter-antimatter hypothesis long time ago. There cannot be antimatter as the logical shadow of the matter because they would have nullified each other. And you can’t have less antimatter because that’s kinda an illogical idea. From that perspective, the grand equation is awfully unbalanced and yet… here we are, trying to carry water with a sieve we keep poking holes into, to peek into The Divine. I ask you ‘What for?’ Remember the horizon of human relevance with its moral vectors.

Feynman's quantum field theory (QFT) of virtual particles and anti-particles, observable and verifiable (Cashmere effect) , is the universal fabric from which emanates, strings, particles, everything. This valuable lecture (although I found it difficult to follow, because of the blurring of the slides) explains spin 2 particles' (getting back to the original state) relation with universal field of Boson, if Feynman is explaining how they are related to the QF, there is a deeper significance, that I could not quite follow. However, this field is fine tuned at its fundamental level, Feynman claims we are 'lucky', while others call it an 'accident'. I call it 'intelligent design' of the 'universal consciousness', in line with physicist Dr John Hagelin, explaining creation of life and consciousness, with perfection and with probability one. We may not be able to explain how consciousness is simulated in empty space, QM can help us understand the process, by the double slit experiment, which shows how fields/waves turn into particles when measured/observed. The situation is similar to the big bang, verified by MBR, but remains unexplained how and what produced the singularity of infinite temperature. Human consciousness verifies simulation of 'universal consciousness'. The mechanism of heat production at the big bang does not follow anything we know about the mixture of 'source of oxygen' and 'source of explosives' demonstrated by chemists, in our world.

[@treyquattro]

and what created the intelligent designer? Ad absurdum.

[@naimulhaq9626]

How universal consciousness simulated intelligence is not known, just like without oxygen and without source of explosive, the big bang occurred. Universal consciousness is eternal property of the Feynman's quantum field.

[@treyquattro]

Feynman never said anything like that. He did say that God (i.e. intelligent design) was invented by man to explain the unexplainable, which is true. If consciousness is part of QFT then you'd need a consciouness field and a gauge boson to carry it. Neither of those has been postulated let alone found. Claiming "intelligent design" to explain away the unexplained is simply kicking the can down the road and invoking mysticism. Hardly scientific.

[@naimulhaq9626]

QFT is not only conscious and intelligent but also fine tuned. What made it conscious, intelligent and fine tuned is not known and we have no clue, like we have no clue how laws of mathematics and the rules of algorithm were present when we were not.The preexisting algorithm is also known as the mind of god, so physical reality have mathematical structure.
