I saw this video shortly after it came out. I was in tears by the end of it. 10 years later, I came back to watch it. Still crying, maybe even more than before. This video means so much to me.
Speechless
Feynman
Ditto-It’s what inspired me to go to grad school and get a PhD in Physics … im watching it again now about 10years later as im finally finishing my degree -havent cried but it means a lot to me too
Funny, I too am brought to tears each time I hear this beautiful discussion. As a former high school physics teacher, I used to play this at the year to my classes. Most sat through politely but probably didn’t take much in. But I’m sure every now and then a student would get a little of that “Feynman Inspiration.” Luckily, I usually would play this with the lights dimmed after perhaps showing another video clip…so I could hide my tears. ☺️
I listen to it everyday 😅
feynman & sagan...changed my life.
Same fam.
I still think that both were so related to each other.
Sagan first for me back when he did the Cosmos on PBS, then read the book and I was completely hooked. Feynman came to me in my later years, about ten years ago. Both had ways of making you think, I have learned a lot from both.
Same here :')
I don't see any real similarities between the two. Lately I've watched Sagan's appearances with Johnny Carson on the Tonight Show on UA-cam, and he seems arrogant and idiotic about anything that isn't science.
The internet makes Feynman feel so close...like he is still alive. Then I realized he is dead. Great video, brought me to tears.
+DAVID THOMAS I think that is one of the greatest gifts of the internet. A form of immortality :)
The next step from the books.
Information is powerful, I agree.
I am very thankful to be alive in this day and age. Especially when information is so openly shared (reasonably).
me too.
Very beautifully said. I agree 🌷
when you doubt and ask it gets a little harder to believe
love your Chanel bro - you have good taste
Belief is the only mystic life I know.. I can get out of bed expecting nothing..3 meals a day can be 2anr so can be 1.. or not required.. Belief may be the enemy of knowing but not exploring..
@@mayasamsara "Belief may be the enemy of knowing but not exploring."
Belief is the enemy of knowledge and exploration, because belief demands certainty and disregard for alternatives. And only by having doubt and curiosity can we actually begin the process of learning.
Not always. Belief requires a foundation and if you dont have it then you'll fall after asking your questions. I'm not judging in the least bit. It is what it is.
Very much
2:57 "I can live with doubt and uncertainty and not knowing, I think it's much more interesting to live not knowing than to have answers which might be wrong. I have approximate answers, and possible beliefs, and different degrees of certainty about different things, but I'm not absolutely sure of anything, and many things I don't know anything about. But I don't have to know an answer, I don't have- I don't feel frightened by not knowing things. By being lost in the mysterious universe without having any purpose - which is the way it really is as far as I can tell, possibly. It doesn't frighten me."
This quote is amazing, I feel it so deeply, I understand and completely share his views. Amazing video, amazing talk.
Living with wrong answer IS living not knowing. Because you DON'T know the truth.
But THINKING you know for certain doesn't feel the same as not knowing at all.
He just laid out the scientific principle in front of laymen. Science is a way of managing uncertainty. How much we know, How accurate we know what we know and how can we know more. It seems like the only thing we can constantly do in the face of infinitely surprising Universe.
I am proud to say that I am deeply moved to almost tears with videos such as this. How wonderful is reality...I wish everyone could see and appreciate this...
That's the rub of it friend, until one starts to realize how little they actually know they will never have the curiosity to find this amazing thing we call the exploration of nature and name science. It literally Does bring me to tears at that thought.
This video reminds me of the beauty my father brings to my life, the way in which he sees the world and in turn has passed to me through his love of science.
This grounds me and uplifts me simultaneously.... every single time.
I watch this whenever I need a pick me up. :-)
Great understanding...great quote
me too god damn it.
me too
I come back to this series whenever I need a pick up too ;)
Tree me too
A friend sent this to me over a decade ago
I still come back to it in my moments of doubt
Thanks, man
Eloquent and humble. Mystery and beauty go well together.
This man was one of the great thinkers, the great philosophers, of all time. I am always so disappointed that so few know his name or have heard his words.
His words touch my soul.
I wonder how many people on Reddit or other social media are truly amazing geniuses but the money powered modern era prevents them from reaching their potential. There should be tens of Einsteins and thousands of Teslas. Why don't they get attention? Money.
@@TheCuriousNoob Feynman became famous through his scientific accomplishments.
Not money.
I have to watch this every once in a while just to feel like there are others who are comfortable with the scientific method that with each new known added condition as they are presented to us and to the puzzle of existing beliefs, our explanation of it could change, and if you believe in the scientific process, your belief would change with it... How daringly simple and progressive this mindset is ~
It's good to know there are other people that try to think like this
Elis Jones Too bad it's such a small percentage of the population that thinks like this,curiosity and knowledge are the key.
but like dr Feynman said we don"t have the answer to all this, and i 'm not affraid to live with doubts,is better than have the wrong answer
We are indeed out here. Also keep in mind that the ignorant tend to have the loudest, most prolific mouths. The wiser individuals among us by contrast, I have found, tend to be more thoughtful and taciturn. We may be entering a period of history where that pattern must change to avert catastrophe, though. It may be well past time to become louder and braver.
That which turns out to be "fittest" to survive, may likely not be what would have been "best" for humanity or the universe. Those who leave room for error and doubt are surely the more worthy of trust, but those with a deluded self confidence can imbue their nihilist conduct with powerful "certainty."
I watch this video every time I need some motivation to understand difficult concepts in school....... thank you Feynman .......
Hey Vivienne, I am Doing a Respnse paragraph to this video and wanted to know what is the thesis and what evidence can support the thesis
"I don't understand how it subtracts."
Professor T Hopefully, you're agreeing... I cannot see how it subtracts.... :)
I've seen you comment on videos dealing with Facilitated (*boak*) Communication (*vomit*) ... am I right in thinking I might know you from elsewhere?
James Randi
"I think it's much more interesting to live not knowing than to have answers which might be wrong." - a great man
This man is just so open minded and inspiring.
"I can live with doubt and uncertainty."
Reid, both Richard Feynman and you have captured exactly why I am choosing to become a scientist.
Thank you, I will listen to this every time I start to doubt my motivations.
Five years on, it's got a million views, which is fantastic. I hope it gets more of them and people appreciate the philosophy of Mr. Feynman.
Hey Narinder, I am Doing a Respnse paragraph to this video and wanted to know what is the thesis and what evidence can support the thesis
@@collegeofsouthernnevada2023 please link to timestamp.
What a beautiful video, it's a shame it had to end. And it's a bigger shame when our beautiful home is getting destroyed and people choose not to believe it. Dr.Feynman, I never had you as a teacher, but I can say with certainty, you have opened my eyes and brought joy to me. With all that is going on in the world today, we need to take action, and it's not gonna be with just one person. We need to come together not as nations but as one nation, and it's not gonna be easy, what we have done to our earth will take time to fix.
Beautiful, Wonderful, Liberating. Feynman is one of the greatest.
Eu decorei a fala dele inteira já quase tb. Sem brincadeira *****
This video got me through PChem 2, Physics 2, and Gen Chem 2 and it is the greatest video for a non-scientist to understand us.
The universe is so fascinating and awe-inspiring, all the way from the Planck scale of space and time all the way out to the superclusters of galaxies millions of light years across
don't mind me, just getting my monthly dose of inspiration
Same :D
I've gotten to watching these videos almost every day and whenever I need to put things into perspective. Thank you! Beautiful work
this video never fails to make me cry or at least bring tears to my eyes.
It's been a while since I revisited this. Thanks again for all of these wonderful videos, Reid.
I think I alone have watched this video 50 times and re-posted it almost as often. Great job on this Reid.
I have probably watched this video more times than I can count. Yet, every time, it was as if I've never seen it. Feynman has a mind unlike any other and it's beautiful. If people as a whole took the time to put their preconceived notions about life and beliefs on hold and attempted more of an open-minded approach we would be in a much better place. Cheers Feynman, truly one of a kind.
I couldn’t agree more. I’m sorry to see that in the 9 years it’s been since you posted this comment, the general population has regressed and our world situation is worse. We can only hope knowledge, science and keeping open minds can rise above it. I hope this reply finds you well.
@@stevedail1 I've completely forgotten about my comment and this video for some time now. Thank you for commenting and reminding me of it's, beauty. It has in fact found me well.
“I think it’s much more interesting to live not knowing than to have answers which might be wrong.” wow. this perspective on beauty is really so interesting
i totally agree Seth!
Hi Reid, I came back to this series often and you did a wonderful job here
The best video I ever saw in my life. And what Mr. Feynman said is priceless. Everything he said was a wonderful explanation of reality.
"I have a friend who's an artist, and he sometimes takes a view which I don't agree with. He'll hold up a flower and say, "Look how beautiful it is," and I'll agree. But then he'll say, "I, as an artist, can see how beautiful a flower is. But you, as a scientist, take it all apart and it becomes dull." I think he's kind of nutty. [...] There are all kinds of interesting questions that come from a knowledge of science, which only adds to the excitement and mystery and awe of a flower. It only adds. I don't understand how it subtracts." Richard Feynman, 1988, "What Do You Care What Other People Think?"
Leaving this comment just for reminding you that..Don't quit,being different is your greatest asset.
I first watched this video as a hopeful student and now as a scientist I still go back to it after all these years.
"I have approximate answers, and possible beliefs, and different degrees of certainty about different things, but i'm not absolutely sure of anything and theres many things i dont know anything about." a theoretical physicist who spends the majority of life looking for answers and theories yet having the ability to set ego aside and say hes not absolutely sure about anything. I give him much well deserved respect for that
that's actually the best approach to really learn and understand new things. when you have fixed theories and ideas, it's hard to make room for new ideas and understandings.
I'm so high I was crying at this how beautiful it is
Every single day I look around me and I am in absolute awe. The small tiny things all the way up to the very large is wonderful! Nature is the true essence of beauty!!! Thank you Dick!!
If I could thumb this up a hundred times, I would. I listen to it every couple weeks. I have it memorized. I love everything about this video: the music, the visuals, the narrator, the ideas being discussed. Absolutely perfect. Thank you.
Beautiful, inspiring, humbling. Thank you for making such an incredible video. We need more Feynmans in the world.
I am an artist but also fairly scientifically literate. I work with computers in my creative process. I couldn't agree more with the sentiments in this video. I wish more people understood this point of view. Looking deeper into the details of things just makes the experience of life that much more remarkable and meaningful to me.
I'm an artist, and I take my daughter--a biologist--on regular hikes and back-packing trips. We talk about art, philosophy, biology, and ecology. I have no idea where one stops and the other begins. It is incomprehensible to me to understand how knowledge diminishes beauty... or wonder . If there is a difference?
When Prof. Feynman was at Cornell he was invited to give the Messenger Lecture Series to the faculty at large. The lectures were filmed. A grad student many years later I was able to see them at a screening. The lectures were titled "The Character of Physical Law" which were later published as a book with the same name. This was a young Feynman with a heavy Brooklyn NY accent, full of power, energy and good humor.
Whenever I feel low, I come to this video. His voice and words inspire me and this music lifts me up too. Brilliant man.
I love the art of science, the subject of so many disciplines. I love people who have come together and have made this available for us to watch, thank you. Thank you so much. It's truly something beautiful to witness and hear. I only wish that videos like these would become as popular as the mainstream pop culture images that bombard us each day.
"...its nature is there and she's gonna come come out the way she is."
I just watched it and shared it for about the 80th to one hundredth time. And never gets old. I share Reid’s videos (both Dr. Feynman’s, and Dr. Sagan’s). Inspiring work that I need to hear once in a while just to motivate me and make me smile.
Hey Alex, I am Doing a Respnse paragraph to this video and wanted to know what is the thesis and what evidence can support the thesis.
Thank you,sir.Truly moved by this.
Totally wonderful. Beautifully put together. Feynman was an amazing human. Thank you for helping to bring his genius and humanity to many more people.
Love the way he pronounces Earth as 'Oith'
MarcusAurelius I was laughing out loud when it came to that part. Does it slightly with 'first' also.
Thank you Reid Gower for creating and uploading this video. Keep on inspiring!
Remarkable, a quenching speech! Thank you for doing this Mr Gower!
my hero
"The scientist has a lot of experience with ignorance and doubt and uncertainty, and this experience is of very great importance, I think. When a scientist doesn’t know the answer to a problem, he is ignorant. When he has a hunch as to what the result is, he is uncertain. And when he is pretty darn sure of what the result is going to be, he is still in some doubt. We have found it of paramount importance that in order to progress we must recognize our ignorance and leave room for doubt. Scientific knowledge is a body of statements of varying degrees of certainty - some most unsure, some nearly sure, but none absolutely certain.
~
Now, we scientists are used to this, and we take it for granted that it is perfectly consistent to be unsure, that it is possible to live and not know. But I don’t know whether everyone realizes this is true. Our freedom to doubt was born out of a struggle against authority in the early days of science. It was a very deep and strong struggle: permit us to question - to doubt - to not be sure. I think that it is important that we do not forget this struggle and thus perhaps lose what we have gained." -Richard Feynman, The Value of Science
It's almost like the images, his voice, the words spoken, and the music exist solely to be played together in unison. Amazing.
Thanks for such a beautiful mixing, good effort, it stoned me despite the fact I knew all about his talks before! I can watch this every morning!
For those that enjoyed this (as I did), may I also suggest:
"It is always now: Sam Harris"
Equally as moving and beautiful.
+TheNewYorkLife If you liked the Feynman video, you may find this one to your liking, as well:
"Science Saved My Soul"
UA-cam blocks (at least for me) links to its own videos, so I can't post the link; but if do a simple UA-cam search for "Science Saved My Soul" you'll be in for a treat. The video is made by UA-camr, philhellenes. Play it in high definition, which means you might need to wait a little before launching it to give the video time to buffer. Also, there is a mis-splice well into the video which lasts only a few seconds. Just ignore it.
*"And there might yet be a heaven, but is isn't going to be perfect, and we're going to have to build it ourselves."*
_~philhellenes_
Philhellenes is the man. High quality stuff.
+Esme Flond You're recommendation is the best thing I have ever heard!!!
I heard the actual lecture he said this in, but this was a great video that captured it.
+Daniel Everett
There is only one version. The one with over a million views of the same title.
tears.
Brilliant job, you've taken some of favorite interview clips and strung them together into a coherent statement of who this man was, and why he is so revered by those who have heard of him.
I come back to these and your Sagan series frequently. Thanks.
I listen to this on a daily basis...
This man is why I am working to be a scientist. By this time in 2 weeks - I will have earned my first degree. Hopefully in 8 years from now, I will be back with a Ph.D and an even larger appreciate to all the wonderful questions we could never answer.
Hey man, been three years since this comment, how's your journey going?
How’s it going so far?
This video still blows me away
Thanks Mr. Feynman, for erasing my shame at not knowing things, because ultimately I don't really know *ANYTHING.*
"I know that I know nothing."
--Socrates
Lot of people in love with their own sense of awareness.
In 5 minutes Mr. Feynman totally kills the god fantasy.
This man and these videos are such an inspiration..everyone should watching and listening.
Thanks for making these
"I don't feel frightened about not knowing". Nice summary. I suppose Mark Twain holds some degree of responsibility for this idea that knowledge of a subject destroys aesthetic appreciation. He wrote as much in Life on the Mississippi about becoming a River Boat Pilot. But then his own writings belie this idea.
Make more videos!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is my favorite video. I love watching it from time to time.
My goodness this is what humility , honesty and the burning passion to know leads us all too. How beautiful.
who the hell would dislike this?
If I were to guess, probably a fundamentalist Christian.
Just one of them who believe the world is 6000 years old
Is it sad that can recite this word for word?
No it's a good thing :)
no it's not :)
I am waiting impatiently for more Feynman Series videos! Thank you so much!
This is brilliant, the pictures, music, voice, that natural colors and text or speech its amazing.
i like the way you put it, his words sound even more beautiful
Beautifully captured in both music and picture. Thanks.
Please make more of these, very inspirational
This made me tear up a bit
This warms my heart always for me and my mother gone too soon. Thanky you always love❤
I really loved this. What a wonderful perspective.
Masterful. I always come back to this rational work of art ))
this is one of the best videos I've watched, and its really so amazing how many things in this world are still unknown.
Felt real chocked up after that. Truly wonderful!
The music, the pictures, and his voice are all some of the most emotional things I have felt in years.
This video is so good!! I love how he mentions uncertainty.
With the music and the images, this is oh so moving.
There's something comforting about watching this, and I don't just mean listening to the Feynman interview. Seeing that there are so many other minds who think the same way and get an enjoyment on watching this reassures me that I'm not alone in an intellectual sense.
This is the kind of thing that gives me hope in humanity, and the future. It gives me a sense of reason for everything, and it helps me cope with some of the ideas that I've found myself knowing to be true.
This is beautiful
THANK YOU!!!
Thank you , these are QUINTESSENTIALLY BLISSFUL!
been watching this video over and over. so nice
This is just beautiful, I have tears in my eyes
How can anybody dislike this video? Life is about exploring. It's like these people prefer to live inside a box.
Thank you so much for this! I love it
I've been scrolling and the most recent comment is about 3yrs old. It's time to refresh the comment section with BEAUTY.
REST IN PEACE R. Feynman
i get such mad chills from watching stuff like this....... its so awesome
Thanks for everything you did for us Richard, we miss you amicus meus.
This series saved my life in part
