I heard an interview where Feynman described himself as having a "limited intellect." I always get a kick out that. The man was effortlessly brilliant. In every right, he was the epitome of a modern physicist. Yet, he thought of himself as less than that.
Both dirac and feyman are my heroes both of them really made most of qft (with a lot of other physicist but dirac and feynman contributed the most) which in my opinion is right now the most successful thoery which really solves most of the problems of universe
I had the pleasure of meeting him in 1976. I asked him if he had a secret for learning physics or any other subject and he said " if you can't explain it to a 10 year old, you don't understand it"...that was priceless.
No, this lecture was given in the Babbage Lecture Theatre in Cambridge, on the New Museum's Site, on 16th June 1986. It was a very popular and packed event, with many non-scientists in attendance ("Surely you're joking..." was released in the previous year). I think they were expecting more Feynman and less physics, and were a bit disappointed! I was a research student at the time, and the other thing I remember about it was two of us having to carry the combined weight of Stephen Hawking + wheelchair out of the fire escape at front left, as this was the only "disabled access" to the place. The text of the lecture was released as a book: "Elementary particles and the Laws of Physics" (CUP).
Classic Feynman! 11:07 ..... It must be the result of some sort of theorem, and so I made up a mathematical theorem, the proof of which I don’t know, but I’m sure it’s right, in this application. LMAO
if the multiverse is infinite in space and time, he will. some day, somewhere, elementary particles will come together to form Feynman. given enough time anything that is possible will happen. don't lose hope!
@@MatheusVasconcelosCR7 Pretty sure it was given in the Babbage Lecture Theatre on the New Museums site. I underestimated the popularity, arrived 5 minutes before the start and had to sit on the radiator at the back. Well worth the effort all the same.
omg yes I think the punch line is that ...oh man maybe, the zer2o energy state are never finite and so form a line of impassability other than integer functions a 2 pi energy states, = quanta. ha, but no, Dirac, he's the guy.
Shouldn't we drop "theoretical?" Nothing about this area seems theoretical to me. String theory is well understood, and QED and QCD are pretty obvious. The idea that strings and gravity are incompatible (gravity expels strings) will doubtless lead to an established value for the graviton. Theoretical physics needs to move beyond this level of the science to explore ill-defined areas, including "antiparticles." This seems to be the only area that includes any sort of mystery, thus a need for a theoretical take. But the entire field of particle physics? FACT!
when I was a young man feynman was my hero...and he still is my hero.

What a tribute to humanity, and a simply beautiful person.
He was a complex person, there was a rather nasty side to his personality.
never seen this one....a historical "gem"....a legend

Thanks for posting it on UA-cam..

It was delivered in 1986 in The Thames River room as I recall. It was a good program once the projector got fixed, the bulb broke.

@@grahamwoan9588 interesting, thanks

I love to listen to Feynman. Thanks for the uploads.
remarkable - which means it will continue on to make it's mark
I understand the strangness1,strangness 2,strangness 3 weather 123are minus
The Omega minus three is the conic equation
thank you!! Great Richard Feynman is heree)))))
He mentioned "sita va vagoon," and I have no idea how to spell that properly. Can anyone tell me what he said so I can look it up?
Press 3 to skip the intro's and get to the exact beginning of Feynman's lecture. Thanks, Wasdworth.
The lhc hydrin collider has to have a quantum computer program inserted into it's effectiveness to calculate a known
Could we have the Weinberg lecture in the same memorial ?
thanks for the video, but too bad its too blurry to see the projection....
if the multiverse is infinite in space and time, he will. some day, somewhere, elementary particles will come together to form Feynman. given enough time anything that is possible will happen. don't lose hope!
A bit of a bummer the overhead is illegible - but still great
now THAT is a thunderous applause.
Thanks for that !...Are there any more' pieces' from that lecture ?
Hey! Where is the rest???
One word: Amazing.
Apparently this took place in some kind of auditorium.
It is clear from the introduction that it was at the University of Cambridge.
@@GH-oi2jf The brain only parses dead straight comments, eh? Poor you!
Does anyone know the precise date of Feynman's lecture, and where in Cambridge it was delivered?

Video ends right before he is about to get to the point of the whole thing!@

love the work here
i didnt liked the beginning much, but thanks for uploading, really apreciate it
Who’s the Irish guy doing the intro ??
It is found the stem fiber of all plants have power I speak of the inside of flower
No slides :-(
Thanks very much for this. Do you know where I can get the whole thing (not in parts)?
6:30 and God knows how that was done ...lol, funny
Opening safes and vaults as an interest? I bet he must have invented the water busting, and code cracking techniques
Thanks!
Some e to the 1 over x, or some terror... haha awesome summary of mathematics by a physics leader
didnt understand anything !! :\
5:20 - Zitterbewegung was bullshit - and bullshit called by a German word - because it wasn't invented by Dirac but by Schrödinger.
10 minutes just isn't enough...
7.02. I could have sworn he said antisemitic particles. There's gotta be a joke in there somewhere.
Nobody like feynman.
I thought nobody is like Feynman.

"String theory is well understood" - Somebody who doesn't understand string theory.
Columba Kos No still a theory
antiparticles are well understood?
Where is your supersymmetry? Its not there therefore sting theory is done and was always theoretical.
String theory well understood? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA good one bro
Nobody like feynman.
