I can't express enough my admiration to this guy. He has all the traits that I consider precious. Intelligence, innocence, playful, and communicative. He is obviously smarter than most of us, but I don't feel distant, but feel the charm of his intelligence and his humor toward physics and life. I think Einstein is also funny and witty, unfortunately I can't find any video Einstein taught. Mr. Feynman, you are a fine man.
#Covid is a strawman built on the 83 yr avg BabyBoomer Bust lifecycle. First wave of BabyBoomers is 75. Second wave of BabyBoomer deaths due to influenza pneumonia "Covid" will be 75 and 76. #ClimateChange is caused by the Milankovitch cycles not the co2 Strawman
Progressing towards real understanding in a given topic of interest can often be euphoric. Most of school/university tends to serve as exposure and accelerated practice for tools/established techniques. This can be very frustrating when one personally values and seeks out meaningful understanding over competency. Although time is limited during school, try to use it for what it is, exposure and skill building. Furthermore, time willing, use that exposure as jumping off points for exploration of your understanding. Though this takes time and can be arduous, I find that as meaningful understanding is developed, less and less direct "tool practice" is needed to effectively solve problems (depending on how heavily your teacher relates evaluates test/homework problems to their own personal style of understanding).
Armageddon yeah. It reminds me of the subtle manipulation involved with the kind of humor you get in a stand up routine. It's a wonderful way to introduce certain ideas in such a way that the idea will stick in the person's mind; their expectations of where he was going with that were for the most part thrown to the side. When something surprises you it always seems to be the thing that is better remembered.
It almost feels disingenuous to take the first shot at all. The ancients were pretty much correct... why did he feel the need to throw them under the bus?
I saw these in the late 70's or early 80's one summer in the Physics department at the University of Oklahoma. They were on 16mm. I spent a couple of days in a storage room just absorbed by this excellent series.
"Nature uses only the longer threads to weave her patterns, so that each small piece of her fabric, reveals the organization of the entire tapestry." RPF
The mathematical representation of the Kepler's laws of planetary motion becomes so easy after watching Feynman's lecture! Teachers like him are so rare to find nowadays!
Thanks RU-vid and up-loader, for all these rare lectures, amazing, I feel like I'm in the classroom.... and to listen to him is quite an experience....
Stone cold. I was compelled to recall the Fibonacci spiral and the fractal nature of existence as Dr Feynman said "Nature only uses the longest threads to weave her patterns so each small piece of her fabric reveals the entire organization of her tapestry".
At 50:50 he says : what does gravity look like on a small scale ? Well, we now understand it better with the discovery of this week with the observation of gravitational waves. Physic is awesome !
This goes along with his published lectures extremely well i wish these presentations were available for each chapter that would be too good to be true. It would be absolutely Mazin.
All the illustrations on the slides are exactly the ones used in the reading. If he could have jus done a video on the chapters going over electromagnetic radiation that wouldve been great.
@@wingracer1614 Then, again, he only adapted an existing algorithm and tested it against reality, so it was hardly an original theory of women libidodynamics in external fields of excitation by Feynman.
I've listened to this many times over the years. I listened to this wonderful lecture again today. Thank you for being a great teacher Mr. Feynman. The greatest of all time. The Ayrton Senna of physics. Because champion
me too. I've a question for you: Do you remember all the key parts of all those lectures? Because I don't and I hate not being able to remember all of it. And if you don't rember it either, then I can extent to all us human have shitty memory.
+Aastha Kapoor How much of what he said could you repeat after the lecture, and understand? Because I find him very difficult to listen to. Teaching is the most important thing in the world, and its done so badly across borders, across history. I think R.F is no exception. Education is the passing on of understanding. Popularity doesn't change that. Perhaps there is something wrong with me.
+cognosc surely teaching is like painting a canvas which could be made beautiful by a good teacher only if the student has the perfect canvas for absorbing the colors. It is the duty of student to prepare the clean and open mind which can be shaped by his master.
+rajesh kumar nayak i agree with you, i would just like to add a nuance. your comment seems to imply that the teacher and the student have equal responsibility in the learning process. i would say that perhaps the teacher should embrace a bigger part of the responsibility, say by teaching the student about this mindset and the importance of being the perfect canvas. now obviously a similar argument can be made for the student, but i think when you consider the conditions of our world right now, where most students have forgotten the real goals of education, it makes more sense to put the responsibility on the shoulders of the teacher, even if admittedly this isnt completely fair to them.
As an 8th grade student, I can honestly say that I understood everything he stated. The things that I didn't know, I figured out. Not with the internet but with the lecture, the way he describes things and how he uses them, i figured out. It's amazing how he speaks, it wasn't boring at all and it was easy to understand because of the way he spoke and how he keeps the class entertained as well as educated. You go Mr. Feynman
> As an 8th grade student, I can honestly say that I understood everything If you are still on this account I can give you some advice. Almost everyone who hears Ferynman *thinks* he understands everything. Then the next day he cannot get a few of the links between the ideas. Because Feynman doesn't show carefully the links. My advice to you is to not by discouraged. Everyone who listens to Feynman has this experience. Worlds of ideas are opened to you and then you have to rediscover some of the doors to it.
I have a BS in Physics and I'm about to start grad school. I think I'm enthused enough. I'm just tired of prepubescent people touting their age all over the place. The "like" generation needs to get over themselves a bit. Also, one of the largest articles about two weeks ago on Physicsforms.com was about how we're training too many, and most agreed. I don't think we are having a shortage.
I've been waiting for at least the #3 Lecture of the Six Easy Pieces for years. It's the one that's titled - Physics as it Relates to the other Sciences. There's been a popular excerpt taken out of it at the end of about 42 minutes, as he recites about a one minute piece of poetry that Feynman has written and titled - the whole universe is in a glass of wine.
“Nature uses only the longest threads to weave her patterns, so each small piece of her fabric reveals the organization of the entire tapestry.” Richard Faynman. (Love that.)
The mark of a good teacher is to inspire a sense of wonder in their student. Mr. Feynman makes me want to go out and explore the world for myself! So fascinating.
This is how you teach. You turn it into a story. Incredible teacher. Watch what he did to expose the fault of the Challenger disaster amongst the political BS, he used a simple example that everyone can understand that couldn't be argued with.
Feynman played the rôle best: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-LyqleIxXTpw.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-eqtuNXWT0mo.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-GNhlNSLQAFE.html Et cetera.
Fantastic, science is one of the most stimulating, intriguing and exciting areas of activity. Mankind needs more scientists, in almost all fields, so if you want to be one, start studying and keep studying.
Essentially when looking at nature on the basis of its own implied units then the answer to life the universe and everything is likely to involve the number 42 --- So it took me starting down a second degree path to realise that I could have sacked it all off, stayed at home and cheerfully read some Douglas Adams FML
Perhaps I've been spoiled by HD audio, but... This could use a pass through a noise filter. Other than that, this is an excellent lecture. Even the most boring subject will sound exciting when Feynman teaches it.
The carousel slide projector was patented in 1965, the same year as this lecture. Earlier forms of slide projections had been around for over 100 years at this point though. The first photographic lantern projector was made in 1848. Hand painted ones date back even more.
The acceleraton is 32ft/sec per second. When taking the distance traveled, you have to keep in mind, acceleration is change in speed, not in distance. The first second after dropping something, the object's speed was 0ft/sec at first, then 32ft/sec at the end of 1 sec. So the average is directly in the middle, or 32/2 = 16ft/sec, multiply by 1 second, 16 feet.
Even today for someone who is student of physics of not much clear concept of basics of gravity now understand well about it and appreciate sir Richard Feymann🛐
