    If there has ever been anyone throughout human history who could explain extremely complicated things to people with little or no knowledge about what is being taught as well as Richard Feynman I haven't come across them yet. I have a B.A degree and because of that I've had many teachers in my life. I realize that teachers exist outside of a school curriculum.
    Without fail, at least in my case, the few teachers I've been exposed to while in school who gave lectures barefooted were at least as good as the best teachers I came across. Richard is the only male teacher I've even seen give lectures in bare feet however. All the rest were female teachers and in total there were 2 of them.
    Occasionally I re-watch a Feynman lecture when in the mood and I always pick things up that I missed in previous viewings. And always realizing that there are many things I'll never understand no matter how many times I view them. Cheers

    You should be theankfull to the annoyng guy asking questions, cause thanks to him Feynman gives a delicious and clearer and wider explanation of how a therory might be more complete than a previous one by adding explanaition to a newer mistery. It¨s away from the main lecture, but his philosofy od science is soooo remarkable. What a mind !!! In a way he was born condemned to be questioning everything all the time with no rest of mind (He drops his mic and he can¨t help in silence for a second to try to find out exactly why it happened)

      The geocentric Ptolemaic model of our solar system works perfectly for predicting and explaining the motion of the planets, the moon, and the sun. It even worked better than Copernicus’ model. Was Ptolemy correct? No! It will not hold up over the whole array of phenomena that we want to observe!

    when adding arrows this way, the resulting arrow ignores the time difference between how long it takes to make each step in sequence versus making the resulting step on it´s own. Does this matter? or all the arrows happen simultaneously, in which case it wouldn´t?

    • @KipIngram
      @KipIngram 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      These arrows you're adding represent the multiplicity of paths the probability wave takes during the process. They all happen at the same time. Even though "one photon" leaves the source and arrives at the detector, the probability wave associated with it is all spread out. You "imagine" that the photon takes all possible paths, and you add up arrows based on those paths.

      @@TheKturner05 Well, it's not just one photon. You get a new photon with each emission event, and that photon vanishes with each absorption event. And the cumulative time all of those photons travel is exactly equal to the total distance they travel divided by c. However, the time spent in between absorption and emission is variable (but greater than zero), and also the direction of each emission is random, so taken all together those photons travel in a "zig zag" path through the medium. For both of these latter reasons the total time will be greater than the straight line distance between the start and end points divided by c.

    • @KipIngram
      @KipIngram 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I'm very sorry. So let me try again. If you start with a photon on side A of a material layer, you can start following that photon. It flies into the material, and is quickly absorbed by some atom. Shortly thereafter, that atom emits a replacement photon, in a random direction. It travels a little way, and gets absorbed again. This process repeats over and over, with photons flying short distances within the material. Sometimes this eventually leads to a photon leaving the far side of the material, and you can regard a photon as having traveled from your original starting point to this end poing we've identified on the other side of the material. During that process photons were flying through space some of the time, always at c, and some of the time we were in between absorption and emission events.
      You can certainly take the time you detect a photon leaving side B of the material, subtract the time it entered side A of the material, and work out an average speed. That speed will be lower than c. But the point I'm trying to stress is that at any instantaneous moment that you check a photon's speed, it will be c. It's only the average speed that's below c, as a result of the random directions and the time lost in "absorption pit stops."
      Anyway, I hope that helps. If not I really am sorry - I certainly wanted to help. But I also wanted to describe what's really happening and not "corner cut" it.
      Stay safe an well, man.

      The issue is he's not asking questions in order to learn, he's essentially interupting again and again to assert that classical physics is right because from his limited experimential experience the wave model can be used to give expected results, and from his limited experience he thinks he knows better and that the teacher is wrong. Anyone who acts like that should be rightly despised.
