I’d highly recommend his autobiography “Surely you’re joking, mr Feynman!” to anybody who enjoys his personality. The writing style itself is oozing with charisma, and the anecdotes he tells still manage to bring a smile to my face.

@bozho123 2 года назад

its not autobiography he didn't write it

Feynman had a way of making people believe they could "do it" . He inspired me to take an interest in physics & mathematics , and eventually pursue a degree in electrical engineering.

@cynthiazhou5491 4 года назад

me too!!! i took great interest in physics and mathematics after i saw a documentary of Feynman. his passion and love for physics really touched me, or it's like kinda passed to me. i'm still in senior hight but i 've already decided to take electrical engineering as my major in the college.

I'm grateful to have existed during this time. People like Susskind, Feynman, available to me for free online. Thousands of hours of free education online, and no tuition. You can' t get a job after your RU-vid degree, but hey, most people can't get a job with a "real" degree either. It makes me genuinely happy (and sad) to hear Leonard talking about his dear friend and remembering him for who he was. We should all be so lucky to have a friend out live us like this.

True. I think someone like Feynman illustrates how important the "style" of a persons thinking is. I.Q. tests can tell us certain things about a person's potential for abstract thought, perhaps, but it's certainly no measure of how intellectually fruitful a person is or will be.

Feynman hypothesized that a good relationship with one's father was important to being a good physicist. He didn't have to go far to disprove that. Newton is arguably the greatest physicist and his father died before his birth.

So sad most people just try to honor him instead of honor what he wanted. I may not be even close to him but the simple thing of keeping things simple is what i stand for and every time I can't explain something to somebody who knows nothing about what I am talking about shows me I don't really know what I am talking about. And that is a very simple thing everyone should keep in mind. Important about this for me is I start to think about was I was talking again and again until I can explain it so it is understood. Right now I feel great since that sounds like something he could have said.

Excluding time dilation and the 2 harmonic commas responsible for gravity to keep it simple, and saying the atom's time scale is 24 hours we can (and should) see an oscillation cycle of 4 equal time phases on a 12 hour clock face where a 6 hour wait state exists at middle C or 12:00, and another at F# or 6:00. In other words as the hour hand moves it stops at the top (12:00) and bottom (6:00) for 6 hours each, and takes 6 hours to go up and back down each "side" showing 2 phases of movement.>
