    Physicist Richard Feynman thinks more about the 'jiggling' of atoms, and about rubber bands and how they 'work'... From the BBC TV series 'Fun to Imagine' (1983). You can now watch higher quality versions of some of these episodes at www.bbc.co.uk/archive/feynman/

      So did I. Feynmann is simplifying terribly the real explanation, which actually involves entropy. As a result, DONG's explanation of the rollback bottle is wrong. It's not thermal energy. It's intermolecular forces.

      You could tell this dude has the same mentality as any old cult leader. Just imagine this and imagine that. Tiny little particles.. You can't see them though.. But trust me. 😂.. Hope Michael wasn't being all too serious.

    I love his energy to explain concepts. He laughs in a genuine way that invites to discovery.
    This is a great way to capture students attention, since most of the time, we're told to "just read the book concepts and learn them...you will figure out later how it works by doing the exercises. "
    I've never been interested in Physics, yet just by hearing Mr. Feynman I'm now interested in the subject.

  • @the-chillian
    @the-chillian 14 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    What's wonderful about Feynman is that when he says something like "If you heat a rubber band, it'll pull more strongly" you know that he's *actually done the experiment at some point* no matter how simple it seems to be.
    I think that's one reason he's was so able to put physics ideas in simple, everyday terms: because he always remembered the questions and observations that impelled him into physics in the first place, and he never lost his fascination with them.

    The man was truly a gift to his species.

    Wow...
    As a kid did this "rubberband between the lips" trick a lot, and was facinated by the fact if got warmer everytime I pulled on it. I always thought it was the friction.
    Now, several years later, watching this video, I can say that my mind is blown. This makes more sense, as I could not figure out why the band cold cold again when it retracted.

    And in three years he demonstrated how super-cooling rubber takes all the stretch out of it: the chilled O-rings on the Space Shuttle had no elasticity left to contain the fuel and prevent an explosion.

    You know those 2D physics sandboxes? Like phun and such. I just imagine how excited this man would get when he saw some of the things people do with those programs.
    Just look up "Phun Gas Law" on youtube and imagine Feynman's reaction to it.
    Such a wonderful man. He's pretty much convinced me to dedicate my life to studying physics (I was unsure of whether I should study neurology or physics)
