The complete FUN TO IMAGINE with Richard Feynman 

I'm jealous.

I also knew him, but from continuing ed classes at Hughes Aircraft. I had quite a few chats with him, almost every week after class. "Jiggling" was definitely his favorite word. I still wonder if that had anything to do with his hanging out in strip clubs. I love listening to his famous Cornell lecture on QM and reflecting on the fact that he sounds just like the Ed Norton character from The Honeymooners. If you ever have a chance to see Alan Alda play him in QED, DO NOT MISS IT. It was just like another visit with him. He once crushed me in a philosophical argument over whether partons had any reality other than being a quantum number if, in principle, one cannot observe an isolated parton. All he said was "Prove to me [by direct observation] that a brick has an inside... Surely you don't mean to suggest that bricks don't "actually" have insides just because you can't see them." Later I read that EXACT SAME argument about something else in "Surely You're Joking". I got punked! Not only was he a great teacher, he was a great and humble learner [the only thing he may have been humble about :)]. He once picked my brains about some basics about feedback control theory, of which he was completely ignorant at the time. He needed to understand it for a project he was working on. A week later, he was an expert on the subject.

You’re so lucky

Whoa! That's cooler than having Ned Stark as your dad

@@VajraSutra Oh wow, he taught English too?? I had no idea!

Oh how I wish I had a teacher like this when I was in school. I would have fallen in love with physics.

The blue eyed boy from the Manhattan project who pointed out we have no theory of gravity except for the mathematical ones.

@@GoatTrucking His brilliance is his original thinking and questioning everything. I think the consensus that views gravity as the ruling force in the cosmos will one day be seen as being as delusional as we view flat earthers today. We have lost a 100 years down a rabbit hole of abstract mathematical circular logic bolstered by CGI which helps perpetuate the fantasy of a gravity centered cosmos.

Wish I could find this comments more than 1 thumbs up...

Deserves 2 thumbs up

Edgy .. don't give up. World need more good physicists .Physics is everything and we still needed it forever and ever. Good luck!

I’m 16 and i want to be a theoretical physicist too. I’m doing my GCSE’s now and its quite hard but i hope one day I’ll get a PhD too!!

@@babyyoda9943 tell me how it goes cos I did mine last year

So lucky!! If I had teachers like him I wouldn't have quit school.

You're so lucky to have a first hand dose of his enthusiasm. I thought I read you were a member of the Cactus Club when I first skimmed your comment. ??? LOL

That is so cool!

So fantastic. I love his take on question asking. The why and what that means. My pet peeve when teaching students of all ages.

@@things_leftunsaid, as he stated that would result in a different imagery for multiple recipients of said information.

@@rathartscience Dt

I agree 💫🔥❤️

That person was, in fact, Christopher Sykes, and I'm really pleased his film-making is available here.

lol, you made me think of Peter Pan and the oldschool theme song from Toys R Us, "I don't wanna grow up, I'ma Toys R Us Kid."

While working on the Manhattan project, as a practical joke, Richo would trick his coworkers into thinking that an enemy spy had made off with research / classified information. So yes he was definitely a child at heart

@@user-vt5io2il8p lol the story goes deeper than that! Breaking into safes by guessing combinations, breaking into safes via mathematical schemes & pin sounds, writing notes to fuck with the safe owners, Teller (Or Wheeler?) guessing that Feynman had broken into their desk without even looking... the list goes on. Or how about the fact that one of the more influential scientists (Karl Franz? Fusch? I can't remember at the moment lol) WAS ACTUALLY A SPY. wild times in los alamos, no doubt; Feynman knew how to have fun

@2 Clicks - He’s a legend and an inspiration 😋

He couldn't even take dying seriously! 😂♥️

yes, i agree too. i think it's the most important thing there is. And I know that there is such a big problem with religions in the world and past, but even Jesus says you have to be like a child to receive heaven on earth, you just said it even better tho. thanks for sharing that

@@xmseocontentnow3242 Thanks for the compliment. The paraphrasing of Jesus, though, was in a different context. He meant that, to have faith, one must relieve oneself of an adult's critical thinking skills and, instead, be innocent like a child. This means accepting Jesus by faith alone. This is exactly the opposite of what I was stating.

Thats your interpretation of what he said and to me it sounds the same as yours. a child's curiosity about the world can only be born from innocence. Critical thinking is what led me to know God is real, so there again I state a difference of opinion, and in the way and context of his parables in the setting of this one in paticular I would have to say that your interpretation can not be valid. He would not tell his disciples to stop their critical thinking while giving them riddles all the time. Plus it wasnt speaking about faith, he was talking about the Kingdom of heaven, which he always said would be built here. As a matter of fact he said dont pray for god knows whats in our hearts, just go shut ourselves in our closets and say the lords prayer, "thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven. The Goal was always to show God that he can come down here, but he is also all around us already, and that if we were nice to each other like children and love each other it would be his kingdom and just realizing how peaceful and serene that could be would be paradise if everyone would be that way. @@lazurm

@@xmseocontentnow3242 I was a little confused by your last post here as you seemed to be contradicting yourself at times. But, in the interest of learning and understanding, I'll continue. You stated, "a child's curiosity about the world can only be born from innocence", but I believe that curiosity is a trait we are born with as a survival tool because, without it, we aren't motivated to learn and, thereby, survive. In other words, curiosity is inherent in our structure and, sometimes, it's driven away by people who prefer an authoritarian (and unquestioning) system. You stated, "Critical thinking is what led me to know God is real...." but Jesus didn't encourage critical thinking and, instead, preached that God is known by faith alone. Faith is believing in something without (scientific, that is, measurable, repeatable, predictable, etc.) evidence. In other words, there is no SCIENTIFIC evidence that God exists and, in fact, the very definition of God is so variable over time, culture and philosophical beliefs that the concept is too blurry to be measured. So, you couldn't have possibly used true critical thinking to come to your current belief in God. The riddles involve logic which, though part of critical thinking, doesn't encompass all of the components of critical thinking. From an online definition of "critical thinking": "Critical thinking is the ability to think clearly and rationally, understanding the logical connection between ideas. It is about being able to evaluate information and form judgments in a fair and unbiased way. Critical thinkers are able to identify and challenge assumptions, identify and avoid common fallacies in reasoning, and make informed decisions based on evidence." I could go on here but I think that I've already said enough to deal with at this time.

Thanks man.

Thanks

Thanks, much easier to navigate :) and rewatch :)

I have met couple of brilliant minds in my life. They all had something common in them that I never could express. The very same thing radiates from Feynman.

It’s really dull

@@ferise1 I might be a nerd, lol.

thank you for existing friend

Donna, Parts of Richard Feynman's magic & genius were in your Dad's mind and are in you ! Do enjoy his smiling way at explaining physics with fun ! He is brilliant !

His name is Feynman.

I see what you did there....hahah

Lmao this needs more recognition than my 116th like

Wow

I'll take it one further.. We are made of atoms that where manufactured in the hearts of stars, which where kind enough to go super nova, spreading their enriched guts out creating our solar system. Since we are made of the universe, it can be said, that we are the universe trying to figure out what itself is. The universes brain, if you will.

oh he would love this, it also makes me very happy

what a stunning answer! there is some allusion to this in oppenheimer too...

Great day to find this video 🎉

Thank you for keeping his legacy alive all these years. This video is very important to me. Thank you. You have inspired me. This interview couldnt have happend without you. Greetings from an 18 year old boy from the Netherlands

@@Wrijvingsloos That's nice! Glad you enjoyed it...

Get jiggly with it na na na na nanaaaa.....

😁😁

If only marketing was a thing back then like now lol

I cant stop listing to this guy :)

Feynman was possibly the greatest example of a math genius who could also explain himself reasonably well to non-mathematicians. The fact that he took 1st place in the Putnam Competition and could still tie his own shoes speaks to his verbal and non-linear problem solving skills, which are often atrophied or unnecessary in math geniuses.

yes but he was also extremely arrogant, the way normal people cannot be. Leonard Susskind in his TED talk on Feynman recounts how he was even more arrogant than him! And admits he is extremely arrogant himself.

@@firstal3799 I'd imagine when dealing with a genius of Feynman's level, you probably just try to stay out of the way of his brain as it moves around the planet. They tend to be very quirky. Einstein refused to wear socks, slept 11 hours a day and smoked cigarette butts he found on the street. "Whatever you say, sir!"

@@jasoncarswell7458 very true!

@@firstal3799 Perhaps. But it is pretty well known that when people get into the I.Q. range he had to have been in, you start getting... 'quirks of personality'. to say the least.

Valdemar Bønding Hansen Completely agree. He is so adorable. I can’t help but smile with him.

Even scrolling down comments and realizing how many people are moved by him gives me great pleasure

yeah, he is full of positivity, optimism

Thank you for those words. I am going to do something similar with our Creator. Prove existence and is all good again, and destroy all the religions and books, because everyone will just know again. Thank you!

There will never be proof of God until the sky opens. Until then, fool's errand, and you haven't thought through. You are talking about destroying faith. Fortunately, you do not have that ability.@@LogosInsula

The sky has opened, look at hawaii and Argentina, God is provable, I have discovered that the firmament is real. And the mark of Gods covenant is aurora borealis, science finally admits waters are in space, just plasma not liquid, everything proves God is real, The fire and brimstone is the Plasma from the Sun, and is the rains from heaven or the latter rain, @@pearz420

@@pearz420 Evidence 1 MAGNETOSPHERES Images and Likeness A magnetosphere is the region around a planet dominated by the planet's magnetic field. Earth has the strongest one of all the rocky planets: Earth's magnetosphere is a vast, comet-shaped bubble, which has played a crucial role in our planet's habitability. Life on Earth initially developed and continues under the protection of this magnetic shield from solar and cosmic particle radiation, as well as erosion of the atmosphere by the solar wind - the constant flow of charged hydrogen and oxygen ions and other irradiated subatomic particles streaming off the sun. We’ve known for a long time that there is water in space, but an international team of scientists has found a cloud of water vapor recently that is hundreds of light-years in diameter and surrounds a Quasar that is around a black hole. The magnetosphere has an area called the magnetopause that is the space of magnetic division between super heated plasma from the Sun and the Ozone layer of Earth at the beginning of our atmosphere. It is generated by the convective motion of charged, molten iron, far below the surface in Earth's outer core. Constant bombardment by the solar wind compresses the sun-facing side of our magnetic field into a barrier against this sea of irradiated and supercharged hydrogen and oxygen plasmas. The sun-facing side, or dayside, extends about six to 10 times the radius of the Earth. The side of the magnetosphere facing away from the sun - the nightside - stretches out into an immense magnetotail, which fluctuates in length and can measure hundreds of Earth radii, far past the moon's orbit at 60 Earth radii. In the intro to astrophysics text book it is describes as an ocean of plasma and its waves lap at our magnetosphere shores. This magnetosphere is described rather well on the first page of the Bible and other scriptures. It is also the shape of the Egyptian ankh, the Knot of Isis, The Celtic cross, and other holy symbols. ___________ Ge 1:1 IN the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. 2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters **Deep here means space (we call it deep space) and the waters are not liquid but still considered water. lines up with astrophysics. Google 'water in space" if you don't believe me. ** _________________ 6 And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters. 7 And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so. 8 And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day. ** Here God is describing the creation of the Heaven and Earth again, you will notice that when it is God's words he has the same sort of Inflection and voice; in that he repeats himself often and in different ways to stress the understanding. This firmament must be the magnetosphere or pause since here it divides water and water as the other one does as well. There is only 1 thing that divides water from space water, so it is one and the same. Remember that he called it Heaven here, this will be used later for context. ** _____________________ 26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. 27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. ** If you look up magnetosphere and compare it to an image of the restroom door man symbol, or door woman symbol, you will notice that they are near identical and so is the Knot of Isis and the Ankh. Strangely enough, even different models seem to be torn between these.** This is the image that god said "them in OUR image and likeness" Ge 1:26-27. Ge 1:6-8. Ge 1:1-2. This is not the extent of my proof aaaand Evidence 2 of 4 to be continued shortly. Also Videos and pictures explaining this are on my page. I'm not good at making them so be nice please.

salim mdaghri Thanks for agreeing. I think it’s because he crinkles his nose and gets the crows feet lines. I wish I came off as friendly as he does.

I hope you learn and enjoy a lot, good luck!

Stay Hungry my friend

Sometimes he almost appears to get mad as if he can't understand why nobody else finds it as exciting as he does. And then he calms himself and goes back on with the explanation

He will never forget you doing this,good job dad.

If he wasn't dead...

and then he would end his video with "please hit the subscribe button below.... but do you know what actually happens when you hit that plastic button with your finger? well ,let me tell you, ... and so on and so forth...."

@@bekiedude I will also explain to you that that "Subscribe" button is not made of plastic nor your finger is actually touching that thing. Ouch i have go back to magnetic and electrical forces, which i cant explain to you in any other way that you are familiar with. 😂😂😂

and so there is a tremendous force, and all the little balls are bouncing off eachother, and you can imagine a little insect sitting in the side of your brain, observering all this chaos going on and we say what is that?

Well, you might wanna check out Nick Lucid of The Science Asylum. In some ways, he is better than Feynman.

@@DipayanPyne94 if he is better, where is his Noble Prize?

@@artham6565 Nobel Prizes or Honours are NOT necessarily an indication of Good Teaching Skills. Even I am better than Feynman in some ways. I love Teaching and Explaining Things in Simple Ways. But do I have a Nobel Prize ? Nope. Will I ever get one ? Probably not. Why ? Coz I just don't have the Opportunities anymore.

@@DipayanPyne94 similarly....your comment quoting a random RU-vidr is un necessary, Mind it.

@@artham6565 He is not just a random RU-vidr. He is a Physicist. His way of explaining is way better than that of Feynman. I finally understood what Energy means because of one of his videos. He is brilliant. I think people should stop judging on the basis of honours. Feynman himself didn't like honors, by the way. Haha !

He has no idea..

@@MrKeithy22 none of them do. 99% of them have no idea, they think they know but they're wrong, at least he sort of gracefully avoided trying to answer that. Read between the lines of what he rants about with knowing the correct question "why" to ask, saying what we are permitted to know.....I think he knows more than he leads you to believe he knows from his rant.

@@MrKeithy22 neither do we. But at least he has the audacity and modesty to basically say "I don't quite know" it's ok not to know sometimes :)

the electrons aligning answer is quite satisfactory to me

@@mpirron1 yes he didnt say a single that that had any substance, all he did was dance around the question and try to save ego by trying to humiliate the interviewer with his inflection of voice and choice of wording, it's obvious he has no clue

Very much the same here. Just watched the whole thing again.

Feynman has this effect on me too - he radiates happiness, tingles the brain cells and somehow gives hope for humanity - hard to imagine that this guy worked on the atomic bomb. If I am not misinformed, they didn't tell the scientists exactly what the calculations were for, until it was too late. Because Feynman would not have liked that concept, WAY too much jiggling!

Yep...me too

*believe in contrails

that's true. It's about being curious, about wanting to know the unknown. Describing it to others. Science in a nutshell: Observation, question, gathering information/analysis/diagnostics, forming a hypothesis, testing the hypothesis, making conclusions, reporting, and evaluating. Science becomes fact when it is repeated in similar forms by different people with similar outcomes. But any douche can be curious… and act on it.

Not everyone. And that is the point and strength of humanity. We are interested in different things and that determines what we spend most of our time with. And the more time you spend with something, the better you will be at it. Diversity is the key.

@@azynkron provided how systematic the approach to study science can be. Trust me buddy, pretty much everyone can. The only difference is some people have better intuition than others which allows them to understand certain concepts faster. So the time to learn varies alot. But whether or not you can learn is the same for 99% of people.

Nothing regular about richard feynman. Believing that is a quite modern idea and from his point of view I believe, a sitting-in-the-Ivory-Tower issue. You can be curious and you should be, it's awesome to learn new stuff! You can listen to podcasts, watch nice representation of hard concepts all day and might even practice some things you see. But you'll never get to the meat of things like a richard feynman does simply because you don't have the brain juice to do it! Not now and not after 100ys of training. People believe from listening to YT videos they could do anything scientific while they struggle with high-school linear algebra and simple calculus. This is not a minor issue, that's the major issue! People are born equal is one of the biggest lie we tell ourselfs. You might become somewhat proficient with good training from an early stage but you'll never be extraordinary like gifted people WITH GOOD TRAINING can become.

I just did this too

We are all living the same life

Holy crap…I just did that too! Fell asleep watching a different video and woke up to this brilliance. I can’t believe two other people did so as well just a few hours ago.

"It was, it was....AAARRRGH!!!!"

Geoff - It's never too late to start! :)

Amen. Same here Do you have children of your own? Or siblings with children? This could be your chance to help them develop the love of science. That's what I am planning for.

True I love him, Kip thorn and Kim Peeks. When I make a reference to Kim Peeks I frefer to resolvoving the space/time coordinates that makes Star Gastes possible. Also faster than E+mc2

I'm a random brazilian guy in Germany investing time on youtube, I'm smart enough to understand everything he's saying, English is no problem for me, I've heard Feynman's name many times and indeed studied his theories, I had already seen his face... and yet, I love him as well and I was able to feel exactly what you did. It doesn't matter from which background one comes, his empathy and brilliance in making sense of the world fires our inner spark. I was just watching it thinking that the most amazing thing about it was not being able to understand the physics, but to understand his passion and motivation when he describes the phenomena

@@VofVINGANCE The way you phrased that gave me chills. Sometimes Feynman is almost too much for me to take, I don't mean intellectually, I mean he evokes so many emotions I don't know what to do with them.

He had planty of woman like you for one night
