Feynman at Caltech - John Preskill and Kip Thorne - 5/11/2018

On May 11 & 12, 2018, Caltech and PMA presented Feynman 100, a celebration of Richard Feynman’s life & legacy on the occasion of his 100th birthday.
The May 11 evening event celebrated his broad contributions to science and society as a scientist, teacher, and curious character. Speakers included: Robbert Dijkgraaf, Freeman Dyson, Joan Feynman, Michelle Feynman, Janna Levin, John Preskill and Kip Thorne, Tom Rosenbaum and Leonard Susskind. The evening also included two special video presentations featuring Bill Gates and words from Richard Feynman.

Feynman continues to inspire me day in and out. What an absolute legend

[@mpcc2022]

This man was a gift to the world, simply because he followed his innate dispositions, curiosities, and had enormous Mathematical ability.

[@ludvigwittgenstein9609]

Enormous SCIENTIFIC ability too. Not just math.

[@hank1519]

A very touching tribute to Richard Feynman.

[@RahulKumar-ng2gh]

the great Kip Thorne, noble prize for gravitational waves and executive producer of Intersteller

[@ibrahimnoon]

The more you read about Feynman, the more you’ll be inspired by him.

[@vikranttyagiRN]

Thank you for providing us these talks. These are Absolutely precious

[@johnishikawa2200]

I have the three volume lecture series by Feynman, and among my favorite topics in them are the descriptions of electricity and magnetism, what is happening between the plates of a capacitor concerning displacement currents, all of it leading up to the derivation of the Maxwell equations. Also, the use of vector calculus and differential equations to derive the diffusion equation. Richard Feynman is in that pantheon of physicists going back to Galileo whose knowledge and contributions will be studied by students of physics and of engineering for as long as humans exist as a species, both here on the earth, and when they move inevitably out into the galaxy.

Thank you so much Professors for sharing these experiences. They means a lot for many students like me.

GENIUS. He will live forever.

Kip Thorne and Leonard susskind look like brothers.

[@of8155]

Lol😂😂😂

[@Tom-iv5pw]

They are brothers

[@jagk4459]

Yeap, I'm one of the many who is Inspired by Richard Feynman. =)

If I had the money I'd make a statue of him with bongo drums and place it in Tuva that he never got to visit.

You came to fill the void left by Einstein.
However there's no one can ever fill your absence.

[@ludvigwittgenstein9609]

Nobody has filled the void left by Einstein. Not even Feynman.

[@delawerkhaliqi6048]

I love feynman

[@TheDavidlloydjones]

I wish there were more of Wheeler around. The guy seems to have been crazy productive and productive crazy -- and we just see shadows of his genius in his students. (What I mean is *I* only see the shadows: clearly, these others met him, studied with him, read the papers... )

Facts

[@grahamblack1961]

Just to be an average theoretical physicist you've got to be way smarter than most other people, it's frightening to think how smart you have to be to be at the level of someone like Feynman.

[@NothingMaster]

Feynman would have been the first one to rebel against hero worship. Feynman should be celebrated for his many fundamental and insightful contributions to physics, instead of being remembered like a cartoon character through anecdotal stories and goofy third party recollections.

[@anonymous-sr5ks]

Agreed.

[@ludvigwittgenstein9609]

This is dumb.
Very dumb.
He adored Einstein, so you're not even correct in your conjecture. Not to mention your whole post is one big internal contradiction because you concede that he "should be celebrated."
Lol.

[@ludvigwittgenstein9609]

@@anonymous-sr5ks Dumb. Nobel Prizes are, by your line of reasoning, "hero worship." Let's get rid of those too.
Eye roll.

Does light have mass? Do photons & electrons have mass? If not, how are them deflected by gravitation?

[@ludvigwittgenstein9609]

Yes they do. E=mc2 remember?

[@jishnuraj9866]

Mass causing gravity is Newtonian physics. It's not fully correct. Pls Check explanation of gravity caused only by energy in general relativity.

Hans Bethe too. I'd take Feynman or Schwinger.
