Physicist Richard Feynman thinks aloud about atoms and how they 'jiggle', and how we perceive that jiggling as 'hot' and 'cold'. 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/ - วิทยาศาสตร์และเทคโนโลยี
His energy is jiggling in all of us now.
@fynes leigh okay I was not expecting a novel in response to a dumb joke I made 6 years ago when I woke up this morning.
Yes it is 💓😊🌹,, Interesting Information Love-Papa...
That is a great comment!
How fortunate are we to have this man spend so much time in front of cameras? Imagine if Einstein had casually explained the universe for us, with the ease of an arm-chair conversation. This footage is just as profound.
ampman76 How fortunate we were to have someone so adept at conveying wildly complex scientific processes into understandable analogies.

@fynes leigh What a tragically confining mindset you have
@fynes leigh It's an accurate description, not "a shot"
@fynes leigh This, coming from someone who has a hard time grasping concept formation, is hilarious. Back under your bridge, troll.
As a physics student this stuff comes to me as basic principles that everybody knows.. But listening to it from this guy, even though I already know it all, still drops my jaw like a ten year-old eager for learning more.. R.I.P., Richard Feynman.
There's this childish smile that comes everytime he tries to explain something that excites him. This man is out of time, i hope i'd someday become a teacher llike he was. The old ages teacher, the one that only want to give you his knowlage and his beautiful tinkering about nature, not one that is trying to force everything down your brain for the sake a grade, a paper or whatever bullshit they invented to quantify how "intelligent" and "smart" and "successfull" you are.
+Oussama Hridis it has nothing to do with old ages, if you work hard towards appreciation of nature you have a chance to become a great teacher with the spark you admire :)
they're saying that they want to be a teacher like him because he's nearing the end of his rope and won't be able to spread knowledge and joy like he did
It's his sense of wonder.I hope you (and we, all of us who can appreciate him) never lose it.
This is easily the most insightful 7 minutes on TH-cam.
I feel excited when I listen to Rich Fayman. What I hear is all of theses cenariios are possible.
"I get a kick outta thinking, I can't stop". I love Feynman, the glee, the enthusiasm, the wonder he still has.
Why aren't there shows like this any more!
I'm very grateful of the BBC for recording this. I only wish there were more Feynman videos like this because the way he explains things fills
He's a joy to listen to. I love his enthusiasm and sincerity.
I love the way Feynman explains things, he has such an enthusiasm for the physical world that's very rare.
Feynman is such an inspirational figure.
The thing I like most about Feynman is that he was scary intelligent, but he was able to explain concepts like heat in ways that people who don't understand anything can latch onto...
The single hardest thing about teaching is being intelligent enough to know the ins and outs of the material while still being able to relate to people who do not know the material.
I tried and only had marginal success doing this as a meteorology TA in college.
What is wonderful about learning this sort of science as an adult is that there is no test at the end, in fact it never ends and you are free to absorb it at your own rate of understanding with no pressure to regurgitate it back to the teacher. That makes it loads of fun and gives one an appetite for more and more.
Who is watching this is 2018!!
Simply Stunning and delightful to watch him excited and more jiggling just by the sheer power of Imagination.
August 5th, 2020 ~ enjoying listening to him so much! 💞💫👋
I love this guy, if i had seen him sooner, i wouldve wanted to become a physicist! Just look at 4:00 and watch how excitedly he speaks of the material. This is obviously a man who loves what he does. He has all the qualities of a great teacher
Truly a master of physics, yet still has the excitement of a child. One of the many reasons why I love Feynman.
I love listening to this gentleman, his enthusiasm and love of physics is infectious!
I love his face at the very end! It's like he's high on knowledge :D
i love what he says in the last 10 seconds!
Frosty420Bud can you pls tell what he said. i heard several times. am not native speaker
inapcha He says, "i don't want (you) to take it too seriously, just have fun imagining it. There is no teaching or test at the end, that would make it not fun."
Basically, it is fun because it is complex, but it is so complex it would be hard to really learn it all. It is just fun to imagine simply. Making kids take a test on it makes it uninteresting and about the score, not the material. Tests today are more about the grade (#/letter) instead of what it is (should) really about, the material.
He confirmed. Saying "I get a kick"
Love 4:13
"I find myself trying to imagine all kids of things all the time... and I get a kick out of it, just like a runner gets a kick out of sweating... I get a kick out of thinking... about these things. I can't stop, I could talk forever..."
Grateful for your sharing of these really wonderful Feynman clips. He remains such a gift to humanity and the universe, he helped discern the laws of nature, while delighting us in the process. Full of awe with this man. I always wished I could have been his Physics 101 student, but these video segments will have to do.
this is a fantastic series by a genius of geniuses and a wonderful teacher at the same time, it is only fair to expect a better close captioning so that viewers can catch and understand all the words that he says to learn all that one can from him. this should be preserved for posterity.
Once in a while when I forget why I study physics because of one or two difficult courses I come back to these videos, and suddenly I remember. I absolutely agree on what you said!
absolutely wonderful to be able to listen to him speak!
what an inspiration!
Thanks for uploading!
i would've loved to have him as a teacher. you can tell it in the way he talks and the way he gets into it, he really loves what he does. wish we had more teachers like him these days then maybe kids would actually pay more attention in class.
I love how enthusiastic he is about describing all these concepts. Simply an inspiration to us all.
I love richard feynman, he is just awesome with his love of science and his ability to convey it to everyone on understandable terms. Favorite physicist
If I had had a science teacher like him, I would have taken a much greater interest in science. I definitely never learned about a lot of this until I heard it from him. Great stuff. What a great scientist. He is missed by the world
One of the most uplifting songs that I've listened lately.
the way he conveys his message gives me shivers. so brilliant
High school physics teachers should show this to their students. It really helps with understanding how things work.
It is such a fun to imagine with Feynmann.
its men like Feynman that make this world better,... the only downside to his brilliance, is sometimes the great knowledge that he has uncovered fall into hands of people who are not evolved enough to handle it, 5 stars for a great man
He explains it so simply, my 7-year-old could easily understand it. FEYNMAN ROCKS!!
Mr, Sykes, thanks alot for this upload
"There's no teacher asking you questions at the end - otherwise it (science) is a horrible subject."
Hear, hear!
There is so much beauty in his dismissal of music.
Thank you for making me think.
While I type with FAKE
Thanks so much for these Chris. If you have any more, we'd love to see it. Also, if you are converting your footage to upload, you might want to select 'deinterlace'. The benefit of that is it will remove any striations and banding you can see in any movement. Thanks.
Gotta love Feynman. What a nice and yet brilliant man. Just a pleasure listening to him talk so ecstatically about what he probably found as rudimentary stuff.
I'm very grateful for my Science teacher when i was at school, he was extremely involved and enthusiastic when teaching and made me appreciate science from a young age.
The whole series should be required viewing in every school. Even Grad school.
Feynman's armchair reminds me of my late grandfather's. Thanks for uploading
Beautifull! This world needs more people like Richard Feynman, people who can make the laws of nature sing and atoms dance before our eyes!
Wow, if he had a biographical film made about him, Robin Williams would've been perfect to play him...
Darn it! Now that's all I think about.
This guy has changed my perspective of the world in which we live in.
UMBUMBALIEVABLE
Loss of imagination is a problem also here in Brazil, believe in that. Alias, Brazil is a place where prof Feyman gave many physics lessons. All a generation of brazilian physicists, as well as brazilian physics ,are in debt with that accessible sympathetic person,nevertheless a respectful nobelist, and master of didatics.Hope the lessons he let here can give results ,as payback tributes which Feynman deserves a lot. RIP great Richard Feynman.
he's so enthusiastic its awesome
Amazing Person wish there were more people like him. Genius
What a fantastic way of presenting physics.
I was not allowed to take physics at school - because my teacher was so boring that he did not inspire me to learn anything...
I want to hug him. OMG where are these people in my life?
his happiness is so apparent.... and transfers to all around.... his jiggling atoms sure jiggles all around him :))
He worked on the Manhattan Project and helped develop what is arguably the best theory we have in physics, Quantum Electrodynamics. Those are two good places to start for what he did for the world.
I've noticed that: the more a man can comprehend science, the crazier he gets! This guy has gone crazy with science. He has genuinely become a "mad scientist". Mad = different perspective of life.
I knew this already but i'd love to constantly perceive it the way Richard does.
i listen to a playlist of this or episodes of cosmos when i go to sleep, its amazing to fall asleep thinking about the mechanism which constructs the universe, the great and awesome machine of cause and effect.
I searched "hot physicist" out of curiosity and this video came up. This pleases me.
Feynman was and always will be one of the best
This guy is just so awesome!
I love how he gets so excited when he's talking about physics =)
Great, great man.
Feynman is why i studied physics at university because I read his lectures on physics at high school. He had a way of explaining things that made it understandable. Now I'm a high school teacher. Every now and again I go back to Feynman for advice in how to explain things to children. I wish I could have met him, but i think I would have bored him
This guy is awesome!
The whole concept of what matter and heat is is just fascinating. It's fun to think about. Though knowing it causes an entire change in how you percieve matter. You no longer see it in terms of the way your brain is naturally wired to see it, you see it for what it really is. Amazing what science can do for us!
Feynman in action proves that imagination is more important than information (I replaced knowledge with information because knowledge without imagination is just information. It is the basic problem with computers.)
As a physicist I can listen to Feynman forever and every time I listen to him I find out I learned something new. If you liked this video watch it again, you will enjoy it even more. I love physics because of people like Feynman who make it fun!
I could listen to him talk 24/7/365.
This man is among my heros
its sad that 95% of people i know dont know who this man is, yet i do in fact id like to say well done to everyone who watches videos like this.......... pat yourself ont he back, your a decent human being.
So cool to have a scientist of his caliber talk simply about everyday “stuff” in an everyday way.
ahhhh, i was pondering how curious water tension was. now i understand
@moonrockguy I don't think *anything* bored him, and that's exactly why he was the great genius he was. He never (or at least much more rarely than the rest of us) took anything for granted, so he was always asking questions, testing, finding things out.
i think because of richard feynman. i believed that i think i can study hard as he is,just as he told in one of his videos that he was also an ordinary man who studied hard , his words are so inspiring to listen to. i believe that science will be fun for me too also and art and math and other things like movies, blah blah
I like how the video is old and it looks like everything is jiggling :) Kind of helps get the point accross
Amazing
Hes amazing He expresses himself so beautifully. Does anyone have these full interviews anywhere?
His greatest gift is his joy.
His passion for science makes me happy!
He was truly the master.
6:45 ... love the ending. school takes the fun out of everything, as well as takes the will to learn out of everything.
totally agree with feynman, specially the last thing he says
Beautiful mind.
@Roffe192 Movement = temperature. A glowing piece of steel however loses some of its "jiggling" because it irradiates photons (light) in the form of infared radiation (heat). A pool doesn't randomly freeze solid over time because it takes in photons in the form of heat energy from the sun and transfers its jiggling to the sides of the pool etc. When atoms stop "jiggling" it doesn't "cause" things to freeze, it is the definition of freezing.
You just can't stop having fun :)
Is mind is just like mine, everytime I do something I wonder what's behind the action, the molecules, why is it like that? So amazing...
If you're interested, theres a such a thing as a boltzman distribution; this is postulate that in any volume of gas an atom will collide into another, losing it's energy to the other atom, and this happening many of times sometimes this will happen to that atom more than once, giving it alot of energy. However there will be fewer of these higher energy atoms due to random chance aswell as few with so little energy.
I love the way he says " no teacher is gonna ask you questions at the end"
I'm drinking coffee as he's talking about the atoms jiggling in the liquid and I'm freaking out. :D
5:50 He address a fundamental topic, finally I found we have something , a concern, in common, life is different from this moment. on.
the movement of the air across the skin allows the sweat to evaporate which takes the heat away, and cools you down
hope that helps
if only all science teachers were like him. everyone would want to be a scientist, physicist, or engineer.
I think that's what Feynman was getting at at the end of the video. School and test-based learning is very good at making interesting things seem dull.
That is precisely correct. Most of the teachers I recall being good at what they teach, and also ENJOY what they teach were visual art teachers. Some people have no business teaching. There are definitely burn-outs scraping along, day-by-day, dragging their students into a pit of ignorance. However, there ARE great teachers out there. Check out Stanford University's TH-cam channel. Prof. Leonard Susskind has many many hours of lectures available right here, for free.
The problem with science in the public schools (US) is that it's taught by people who don't love/care about/enjoy science. What makes Feynman so fun to listen to is the passion. Any subject can become bearable if the educator brings a little bit of energy to there lesson.
@bheklilr yeah you're right, but I would say it just depends on the material. take to chopsticks, or small metal rods and roll them together quickly in between your hands, they got hot very quickly. Even holding a spoon for a while makes it hotter, you may not be jiggling it, but your body temperature is. Just a difference in terms i guess.
the only richard feynman died, was he knew he needed to leave us something to imagine.
He died too soon :( Imagine having Feynman, today!
"i cant stop, i could talk forever"
+1 for feynman
I just got the jiggle. Again all the time but this one I am perceiving 🤣. ☝🏻❤️
He says he doesn't like honors and prizes, but he was quick to go to Sweden and collect his nobel prize, and one million $.
"I could talk forever." That would be awesome!
@chizhr Feynman's explanation is right. The temperature doesn't depend on how frequently the particles hit the wall of a container, but is a measure of their average kinetic energy. If the average speed of the particles is around 500 m/s, how many collisions would you expect an average particle to collide with the pump piston as it moves inwards? If on each collision, it gets even a small speed boost the net effect will be quite big...
