    I can't even begin to explain why, because I've seen this video multiple times, but this time when he talked about the names of the birds, I began to tear up.
    Richard Feynman was an incredible scientist, and incredible teacher, and an incredible person. He is the reason that I wanted to study physics. And if you ask me, the world needs people like him now more than ever.

      The world indeed does need more people with a mindset similar to his. So do what he says! Learn about stuff. Get interested in why things are the way they are. Learn mathematics. Read books. Become friends with scientists. Get hobbies. If you keep at it for long enough, then you'll eventually end up knowing a ton of things, and maybe being able to crack some of the big mysteries our species is wrestling with today.

    This video was exactly what I needed to see as a physics student. I struggle heavily with school and concentration. It takes me a lot longer than regular people to understand things, but even Richard Feynman believes that you do not have to be a genius to study physics. You can study as much physics and other sciences as much as you wish as long as you have the passion and motivation to succeed in it,

  • @VindetailingLLC

    I am not the brightest person, but that last quote got my confidence up. Feynman is one of the brightest people to ever existed and we need more people to start thinking like this man.

    Richard Feynman is a magnificent orator when it comes to quantum mechanics; primarily using metaphors and analogies instead of physics jargon, so to masses can comprehend the ambiguity, uncertainty and unpredictability of the quantum world. I've been reading up a-lot on quantum entanglement, the complementarity principle and the theory of uncertainty. The schrodinger's cat experiment is an intriguing analogy to explain the superposition paradox between particles.

    If it wasn't for the Sagan series and the Feynman series I don't think I would have ever fell in love with science the way I have today. These people had such refreshing ways of looking at the world, and I like to think I'm a deeper thinker because I've heard what these people have to say. Hearing Feynman describe his upbringing, his anecdotes and his examples on how one might look a bit more critically at the world just about brings me to tears because of sheer joy and excitement. May the curiosity bug run rampant through humanity and lead us to the bright future we all want!

  • @John-sd5li

    Feynman is the teacher we all wish for. Not by his knowledge or teaching, but for his passion, open mind about the world and he very good at sparking it up inside all of us.

    I like how Feynman explains looking at something new, viewing it as a martian. Looking at something from a brand new clean lens opens up the possibilities of wonder. Feynman explains when his dad taught him to view a bird in different languages, realizing you know nothing about the bird. The video was about changing the way you perceive life and how to view anything from a blank clean lens, lastly the importance of viewing things from a clean lens.

  • @djmartikofficial7692
    @djmartikofficial7692 Рік тому

    I like how Richard says at the end that someone is a scientist if they devote a lot of time to a particular subject. There are no degrees required or a type of education. If there is a great amount of time and passion then one will become a scientist. To think like a martian means to question everything around you as if it were new. That is the main idea of this video which I loved.

  • @alygaitan9548
    @alygaitan9548 Рік тому

    I like the idea that science be based off the most basic ideas available.
    People might not think about things deeply because they are common every day things, but thinking about things in a new way is how new ideas are made.

    RIchard Feynman's approach to teaching is extremely comprehensive. He uses analogy and metaphor to explain dense concepts in a relatable and comprehensible way. Besides that, his explaining of how anyone with time and devotion can become a scientist is truly inspiring. He lays out the simplicity of point A to point B, and shows the path between the two to be obtainable.

    I love the edits on the people stuttering into unconsiousness, Reid, especially the effect of Feynman seeming to laugh at the child jolting awake. When I'm getting the kids to try new foods I say "imagine what a Martian would think of this" to get them to lose their preconceptions of the taste.

    True words. What is sad is there is so much wasted potential in humanity. So many stare like zombies into their cell phones and computer screens. Busy with social related activities, games, time wasters, excessive work, etc. Few have the desire to study or learn anything. Of those that do, few believe they can actually do it. I'm here to tell you that you can indeed so anything, however you need discipline, motivation and desire. With desire comes motivation. With motivation comes discipline.

    Feynman talks about looking at our earth as though seeing it for the first time, like a martian. If you were to see the earth for the first time, you'd want to ask questions about everything. He gives an example on humans falling asleep and he goes to ask the question "why?" or "what happens when we do?". These broad thinkers, such as Feynman, give such a different perspective to ordinary and simple things in life, such as sleeping.

    Physics teacher asked us to "comment on one of the videos" in this series, not sure if it's meant to be taken literally or not but I'd rather be safe. Very interesting talk that offers a valuable new angle on science as a field of study that I'll probably come to appreciate as the class goes on.
