- Richard Feynman on the electromagnetic spectrum.
"But you gotta stop and think about it ... to really get the pleasure about the complexity; the inconceivable nature of nature"
en.wikipedia.or...
a second or third gen PAL VHS dub of a vintage original off-air NTSC VHS tape, then captured and compressed and found on a torrent site. squashed, re-compressed and converted for UA-cam. all sorts of obvious video and audio problems, but at least it's here, a special treat from the past. anyone with better source, please drop a comment.
in the meantime, point your 1/8" black-holes at this nice piece of tape of The Chief.
It's really amazing how enlightening humorous interesting and totally genuine this man was.
I think that the anecdotes in "Surely you're Joking Mr Feynman" and "What do you care what other people think" are treasures. I cannot recommend these books highly enough. This guy applies the same energy, clarity, depth and fun you saw in the video to the tiny stories that made up his life. Truly they paint a beautiful picture of life well-lived (although he saw more than his fair share of loss and sadness). You should totally read them, I promise you'll be glad you did.
Imagine what Feynman would say today since we have added to his list; WiFi, cellphones, blue tooth, etc.? I love this because I often think about the mess in the air around me I can not see with my eye.
His passion of inquiry is such inspiration.
Gratitude for making this wonderful clip available here on u-tube.
this is what science is about. Beauty, passion wonder at all around you. It's a far cry from school. Learn this. write that, sit an exam, congratulations you're educated.
And here we r, watching the U-tube video, made possible just because of the graceful existence of the graceful electromagnetic spectrum and the inconceivable nature of nature... Thank you so much for making this valuable piece available.
Reading Feynham over a couple of months has taught me more than anything I learned at school, sigh...
It's an absolute pleasure to hear scientific principals explained so clearly and succinctly such as this. It's a rare talent. We need more like this man.
Isn't it amazing that someone who is so bright, can understand what it is for someone not to understand a topic. He just makes such a considerate effort to explain something so complicated to people who are nowhere near as smart as him. That is truly a gift!
I love this so much. He's so happy and excited! About SCIENCE!
He's so beautiful! The way his passion shows, and his eyes twinkle without cessation, and you can tell that he's thought about it, and his kindly fluctuating voice brings more happiness to you than old St. Nick did when you were young! He just really is fantastically beautiful. I just really like him.
There's a beautiful childlike fascination about Feynman that is not only inviting but fascinating!
Enthusiastic, bright, friendly and passionate, we certainly need more Feynmans in the world!
that kind of lectures and that kind of enthusiastic approach makes me wanna devote my life to physics!!!
I've never heard anyone better at inspiring awe toward the physical world.
He is remarkable! It is possible to feel the love for Physics in his eyes while he talks about it!
I think I've watched this around 15 times this week alone. It is incredible.
Thanks so much for this. One of my favorites of his.
He actually enjoys what he does; very significant and pleasurable. :)
When the video went to back and white , I thought it was my eyes and waves that were messing up , not UA-cam.
I love seeing how he enjoys doing what he does.
It does get you thinking,awake ourself.Truly one of the greatest teacher of physics ever lived.
Feynman being a genius is one thing (most in his field are geniuses by any measure), but the great thing about him is his ability to talk about complex ideas so clearly and enthusiastically. Not many people can be both a genius and a masterful communicator.
his excitement about science is inspiring. I wish i could look at the world the way he does in this video.
"and its really there!!"
what strikes me is the unbroken passion of chilhood embeded in such mature and smart man. pure inspiration and refreshment. great scientist great man.
what a dude!
I would do anything for this respectable scientist to be my teacher :)
This man completely fascinates me~ I remember when he figured out about the "O-ring" .. Absolute pure genius~ Thank you for sharing these! :)
This guy is absolutely amazing. Just like his radio moscow example, you have to be tuned to what he is talking about. If you aren't he sounds nuts, but if you ARE tuned.... wow. Brilliant.
this is fantastic. i could never hold a conversation with a brain like this, but i would let this man talk at me for years.
Enthusiasm and a general ability to make science real..what a gift he had!
feynman has been my hero ever since i know he existed... he is truly knowledgeable, yet I admire his sense of humor and his simplicity teachings
symphony of science ......anybody?
what a brilliant description of EM waves.
Richard P. Feynman is the reason im in school for Engineering. Anyone that enjoys Feynmans way of telling stories should take a look at a book called "Surely your joking Dr.Feynman"
A great book of anecdotes from his life, changed my life.
listening to feynman gives me goose bumps :) amazing
yes he would have been a wonderful science teacher. the world needs scientists like him. he had everything, passion, excitement, fun, and he was very bright!
God DAMN, I love listening to him. Having both incredible knowledge and incredible charisma is VERY rare.
He just made me realize fully how "empty air" is absolutely boiling with radiation from millions of sources!
"The inconceivable nature of nature." True brilliance.
His giddiness is contagious enough to rub off on me when I listen to him.
What a delight to mankind!
Holy crap, I just now understood what hes talking about, and it totally blew my mind
What a guy!! My eyes watered when he finished with, "The inconceivable nature of nature."
Guys ,This is about the greatness of this man ,WE are better that he lived .Just think!
We need more people like this.
Well done. Thanks for posting.
There are 1 to 2 hour length lectures from Feynman all over the place.
I feel so enlightened. I'm stunned.
I would have loved to meet this man.
How i would love to have this man as my professor
He was a genius but also a real free man. No one will replace him he was unique but i would like to know if there is still someone like him on this planet...Please give me a name. Thks and sorry for my bad English, i am from Quebec...;-)
He is incredible. When will there a be a Feynman feature length film for us all to enjoy?
And its all really there! Really, really there!
This man really loves what he does. That's inspiring.
He would be an awesome academic teacher. I bet his lectures would be awesome. Insane but awesome.
i read physics at uni, but i'm actually a psychologist.
he inspires me to think about psychology in the same way as he thought about physics.
a real scientist!
there can be no other like him!
EXCELLENT !!!!! absolutely.
This kind of people give me back trust to humanity.
Thank you for uploading this.
I am 3/4ths through Perfectly Reasonable Deviations From The Beaten Track: The Letters Of Richard P. Feynman. I cannot recommend it highly enough. This guy treated everyone as equals, and his wit and charm really come through.
What a joy to listen to this man
Great stuff, what a brilliant man!
I keep studying Physics because of him. QED is one of the most beautiful pieces of art in human history. And it also works as science :)
HOly smokes. What a great inspirational teacher!
10 years ago I picked up 6 easy pieces and loved physics ever since. You needed to clone this guy.
He is a great resource for the human species.
No, superposition principle is what urbania said it is, it deals with overlapping waves in linear systems. It has applications in quantum mechanics- to find solutions to Schroedinger's wave equation, or when dealing with other waves such as electromagnetic waves.
The Cal Tech lectures are available on CD.
I remember reading an article of his in Future,Omni,and/or Starlog when I was 11 (decades ago).
Truly inspiring!
We need more people like him in the world...
If I could by any means resurrect one person, and one person only...
Sorry, grandma, I'd choose Feynman.
An entire new world opens! This is the first time I've heard him. WOW! More more more more more science please NOW!
after hearing this I'm feeling a bit overcrowded.
Get in line, I've been waiting near 300 years now for another Newton.
He sounds kind of like Joey from Yugioh.
Pure genius though. His QED theory amazed me.
A true jewel to humanity
well said ohhhhh
Thank you.
Exactly. High school literally killed my interest in science at a very young age. These days, I'm totally immersed and had to self-teach myself most of it. I border on being disgusted at how the nature of reality (and nature) can be treated with such sloppy, bumbling numbness when it comes to public education. Feynman is downright animated about it, and that's how it should be.
What a great man.
I was thinking the exact same thing!
To think about all of this. To think about the vast emptiness of space............
dude i feel you right there! so true.
Straight to the point :)
@thissitesuxxx Agree. Passion, excitement, fun... nothing like that in the educational system. Just do this, do that, done.
best of the best
the guy is an inspiration.
Quite right!
brilliant
thanks
@eddiechilvers yes. you don't have to understand anything as long as you remember it. perfect memory (eidetic?) makes anyone fly through school today with top grades. My memory is not so great but I do understand things from time to time. I'm not saying I understand everything science though. Also I got dyscalculi.
so wonderful
i'm now taking exams to win a phd position...
and listen to what he say make me happy ofm y choice
If everyone in the world watched this video, and thought about it... we would have world peace, right away. That's it. Slaughtering each-other would simply become... too boring.
You´re right, what a shame! We should have much more videos of him! And what a shame that 90 percent of the persons I asked didn´t know even the name Feynman ...!!!
I'm an Atheist as well, but I'm with gamal01 with this one. This was a video about Feynman. Religious discussion does not belong here.
Great physicist.
I could very easily convince him that I was reading life along the same lines as he was.
He is a beautiful human. Common sense rules....don't cha think?
You know he was a heck of a dancer as well!?!
this guy's my fucking hero..period
surely* Its a book, not a video as far as im aware, although i havent checked.
I never noticed til i saw this video but yeah he kinda does
@paul55604
Hmm, you made me feel like reading them.
Like Carl Sagan but with a Nobel Prize.
