Too bad he never did a project like Cosmos. His enthusiasm and ability to explain advanced physics in simple terms would have made a great teacher for the masses. At least some one had the brilliant idea of taping these interviews and we can still hear him talk in 2019
Feynman was a terrific improbable combination of a number of traits - openminded inquisitiveness, great personality, great with words, passionate, and other things. The world is filled with people that excel in one or more of those, but to see them all lined up in one person is rare.

This is awesome! An interview with Feynman during the birth of the Standard Model! I am so glad I go on regular Feynman benders! This was great. I think this is how it should be taught in schools, cloud chambers, math diagrammes, than quarks and the Standard Model. This video should be required viewing by all physics students.
***** I just enjoyed Feynman's tone and assertiveness. You're right about interviewers trying to sum up complex issues in a nice little package though.
Wow...just wow. Sadly, I just learned about this guy and just from watching a couple videos of him I think he's amazing. His charisma is nearly jaw-dropping!
Thank you, Mr. Feynman. Finally, someone explained to me the basics of those chambers. Until now, I saw these weird pictures with all sorts of weirds squiggles in them, spirals and all, and when I asked, they'd just say, "Oh, this is a muon, this is a clingon, that is a bozon and this is a bizon." And I'd go, "Wait a minute. Before you tell me their names, tell me how they are produced." Now, in less than a minute, Mr. Feynman made it all very clear.
Great video! Thanks for sharing. It's true that the "mundane" ideas in life bring into focus the beautiful interactions occurring, literally, in front of all of us everyday. The next time you look at the moon, see it for the sphere it is.
It's a pity he died at the time when supercomputers were starting to be built that can take the simple rules of the game and not only easily beat any human at chess but also reproduce the complexity of earth's climate, the folding of a protien molecule, the mammalian neocortex and the interaction of galaxies. I wonder what he would have done with such a machine?
He had a great sense oh humor. You should read Surely, you're joking Mr Feynman(by hisown words). Also read James Gleick "Genius" about Feynman. No Physicist comes closer to this Curious Character for mastery in many things apart from Physics. Einstein was self-taught in violin. So there were many Physicists with different talents but none like RPF.
I just love how Feynman keeps saying stuff like "its not very hard..." when talking about how to interpret the results of a nuclear accelerator's experiments lol. Yea - it kind of IS pretty hard Mr. Feynman - you sexy beast - for the rest of us who are under the 99,99 percentile IQ. Stop making the rest of us look bad damnit!
"back of a turtle or something like that" hahaha He's rightly funny, ..there were stories about turtle shells flying around in the sky. Dude.. Richard Feynman seemed to be so fun...
I really do not know whether I can make a valid argument: One person is happy to accept the observable world as it is seen for the moment. The other delves into details and travels deep, to know how such miniscule details can proceed to build up a world, as the former sees. The common platform is the mind of each dictated by their individual egos. If each questions as to whence the ego arose from, the ego vanishes and a strange void rises. I believe that seeing that is seeing Reality . The seer is the self and is a part of that reality. Phew, I have said what I started to, hope it makes sense to the reader.
@Bnjolly I wouldn't be surprised if Feynman's intellectual development, like that of many gifted children, was lopsided: he may have tested at the ceiling of the mathematical portion of the IQ test, while only testing average or slightly above average in the verbal portion. This could very well lead to an overall score in the mid-120s. Such a score, however, hardly tells us what Feynman might have scored on a more accurate test as an adult.
@TheStigma While I believe that IQ is an imperfect method for measuring intelligence, I wouldn't put too much stock in reports of Feynman's "unremarkable" IQ. As I understand it, the score in the 120s was from a test taken when Feynman was a child - a test that had a much lower ceiling (around the 99th percentile) than most official IQ tests, making it's accuracy questionable.
"In 1973 Yorkshire public television made a short film of the Nobel laureate while he was there. The resulting film, Take the World From Another Point of View, was broadcast in America as part of the PBS Nova series. The documentary features a fascinating interview, but what sets it apart from other films on Feynman is the inclusion of a lively conversation he had with the eminent British astrophysicist Fred Hoyle."
I'm pretty sure they hadn't been discovered yet from how feynman looks i'm guessing this is from about early 70s and it was only at this time that the other three quarks were being theorized with the bottom and charm quarks being discovered shortly after but it took till 1995 to discover the top quark
from 3:48 he explains very simply why religious and spiritual nuts don't like science: because you have to do a hell of a lot of studying to find the answers, not just think of idiotic concepts off the top of your head. i actually have a friend who believes my biggest problem is that i read too many books and believe everything i read. dear god!
And just as people are appointed to die once, and then to face judgment, Hebrews 9:27 NET But God demonstrates his own love for us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

How narrow is the gate and difficult the way that leads to life, and there are few who find it!

Matthew 24:14 NET
@TheStigma Actually when I look it up it seems Feynman was "only" at an IQ score of about 125 - meaning somewhere between above average and well above average. A "normal" smart guy in other words (with genius levels starting from around 140-145. I've tested to 135-137, and I still struggle to understand the true implications of the things he discusses (to a layman even). Just goes to show much much education, effort and desire to learn counts compared to natural talent. anyone can do anything.
The waves in the lake hitting the "shore"( what's the word) just when he says "waves" was just perfect. To use scientific discoveries to be able to live to experience a moment like that is more valuable a reward than honours, prizes or a membership at the club for people who put things on top of another. Or something.
Climate models do have hurricanes emerge in the correct regions. Katrina's tidal surge was predicted by similar models three days in advance, I was in Australia and read it 2 days before Katrina hit. Not bad for a wether prediction. However climate prediction is not weather prediction even though they do use similar software models. In many respects climate is easier to predict because it's stable over long perdiods of time.
Small correction: Einstein did not work on the Manhatten project, although he did write to Roosevelt to say the Germans might be working on an atomic bomb and that the U.S. should begin working on the idea.... BTW, let's call it nature's reality rather than some imaginary supernatural entity like god.
Kid? I'm 40. Where, in what i wrote previously, do i say i believe everything i read? That was part of my point that things have to be questioned (as i always resubmitted in my reply to you "you shouldn't automatically take old science as being 100% accurate. It should be questioned. Not disbelieved, but questioned." Try to argue a point and not go straight for jibes. Read what i wrote, not what you hoped i'd wrote.
@jimmyti9cer my bad i misheard him. one question though, how does the piston in the bubble chamber expand the liquid hydrogen literally? since we know that liquids cannot be expanded/compressed? ive learnt about thermodynamics but mostly theoretically. visually im still not too sure.
what i think you meant is i'm an ANTI-religious bigot. yes? I didn't say he was a 'good' friend. he was trying to make a point about religion being superior to science and so went for the flavour of the month argument about non-religionists believing everything they read. he believes 'belief' is a virtue in itself and stronger than evidence. have you read the bible? i have. i'm sure if you actually read it as a historical or credible document, you would start shaking your head very quickly.
i don't know it all, which is why i always ask questions. my original point. i'm just anti-theism, the spread of theism and the search for truth. this is Feynman's point. the search for truth. you won't find the absolute truths in a holy book. for every profound statement, there is an irrational comment about the supernatural. give it a break now. i made my point and so did you.
@Bnjolly Yea - my research into it wasn't really "in-depth" so to speak either. It was more along the lines of putting "richard feynman iq" into a google search - so yea - take it with a grain of salt indeed. Thanks for the clarification in any case.

3:54 "It is not complicated!"
***** I just enjoyed Feynman's tone and assertiveness. You're right about interviewers trying to sum up complex issues in a nice little package though.
Its knowing that its more romantic knowing that that simplicity generates the complecity interpretated by our vision
Wow...just wow. Sadly, I just learned about this guy and just from watching a couple videos of him I think he's amazing. His charisma is nearly jaw-dropping!
I worked out that 1 x 3000 is 3000
"But it's not complicated, there's just a lot of it." Um, Dr. Feynman, it's pretty complicated to those of us who are merely human.
They were wonderful stories but the truth is so much more remarkable
So true, the universe is truly crazy
Thank you, Mr. Feynman. Finally, someone explained to me the basics of those chambers. Until now, I saw these weird pictures with all sorts of weirds squiggles in them, spirals and all, and when I asked, they'd just say, "Oh, this is a muon, this is a clingon, that is a bozon and this is a bizon." And I'd go, "Wait a minute. Before you tell me their names, tell me how they are produced."
Now, in less than a minute, Mr. Feynman made it all very clear.
Extraordinary Man. How he could re-tell his thought processes for us to comprehend the world around us , nobody before or since.
You have clearly not been reading enough books. May I suggest that you start with Copernicus and Galileo?
i absolutely love listening to this great man. it's comparable to beautiful music .
from the simplest of rules comes the most complex of creatures, all started with the energy of the sun, what can be more amazing than that?
Great video!
Thanks for sharing. It's true that the "mundane" ideas in life bring into focus the beautiful interactions occurring, literally, in front of all of us everyday.
The next time you look at the moon, see it for the sphere it is.
I... kind of just want to hear Feynman talk. I get a little annoyed when the commentator interrupts or does his narration.
you probably get mad at cross guards too... lulz
like the Gustav Holst sound track!
It's a pity he died at the time when supercomputers were starting to be built that can take the simple rules of the game and not only easily beat any human at chess but also reproduce the complexity of earth's climate, the folding of a protien molecule, the mammalian neocortex and the interaction of galaxies.
I wonder what he would have done with such a machine?
Compare these series with today's trash TV.
Can I have 1/1,000,000,000 of his brainpower so I can finish college?

Dr Feynman, the very finest teacher... still... because he cared enough to record and share... from the heart
Fascinating to watch the quark explanation - before they even had a proper colour name!
This man was high off life
Dude, that video is one of the funniest, most creative things I've seen in a long, long time - thanks for the suggestion
The truth is so much more remarkable... What a terribly great concept that is in itself a principle of all science.
The truth IS remarkable and amazing. Thanks for posting.
6:22-6:27 that interviewer is jumping back from feynman like he was gonna hit him hahaha
Why didn't I have this man as a science teacher/father/older brother/uncle/neighbour?
I just love how Feynman keeps saying stuff like "its not very hard..." when talking about how to interpret the results of a nuclear accelerator's experiments lol.
Yea - it kind of IS pretty hard Mr. Feynman - you sexy beast - for the rest of us who are under the 99,99 percentile IQ. Stop making the rest of us look bad damnit!

i wish lazy people would learn how to use search engines
but no amount of computing or machinery can substitute the ingenuity that he possesses
“We’re getting close.....”
feynman,the truth is not amazing,i guarantee you
Tables, trees, or whatever
@waperboy The one I'd like to add is that he's HAPPY. I can't stand seeing miserable intellectuals lol.
The intellect of humankind is so mysterious. It was born with a yearning that can never be quenched
Great upload. Cheers.
Also, I am pretty sure this presenter must have been the inspiration for Palin and Idle's documentary voiceovers.
Pure genius ! I read all his books!
I’m currently reading “Surely you are joking mr Feynman “ which other book you will recommend. Thanks
He would have loved the LHC.
Ya, seriously
Glad I'm a sun worshipper
It continuous to amaze, when it comes to the universe. Imagination and curiosity, are very important.
im zero compared to feynman but im glad to say I also have this disease.I dont want the cure either.

😄 No. The same patterns apply. Just different idols in which human mind reflects itself.
Notice the height of forehead, it's like those novel depictions of super-intelligent cartoon aliens with an exaggerated head size.
Feyman was just too nice of a guy to call out religion for what it really is but in most of his interviews you can see he
What does Feynman mean "half of us sticking upside down" ??
How can we have an up or down? At a guess, it's related to gravity.
