    Feynman is one of those man who I felt have really enjoyed their life.

    How lucky are those who had him as dad, a teacher, a mate. He makes learning so exciting and full of enthusiasm and so easy and fun. In total awe and admiration 💖

    Thank you very much for sharing this wonderful interview with one of the best physicists of the 21st century 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼. Excellent quality 👌🏼

    I like to imagine there's a nine year old kid somewhere watching this who will fall in love with science, become a physicist and inspire his daughter to resolve cold fusion, saving mankind.

    "...but I really can't do a good job..ANY job of explaining __________ in terms of something else that you're more familiar with because I don't understand it in terms of anything else that you're more familiar with." Is an extremely important quote that has particular importance these days.

    ''so it's stored Sun, that's coming out when you burn it'' I think that this interview is stored Sun through Richard's life. Can you feel the heat of passion for knowledge he's radiating? Such an amazing human he was!

    Brilliant, I've always wanted to see the full version of this having seen little clips here and there, cheers for posting mate.

    "I think nature's imagination is so much greater than mans, she's never gonna let us relax." - Feynman
  • @thecorinthian85
    In a way the remarkable thing is that he isn't just a super-smart genius, but this gives an impression of a different sort of mind, who does find a lot of it baffling and bizarre... which maybe is what contributes to his being so good at explaining, because he needs an explanation that satisfies himself as well

    I once had my own Feynman moment as I was making tea and suddenly realized that the movement of the water boiling on the stove was the movement of water going through a dam and transferred over miles and miles through wires - blew my mind
  • @emendozaguzman
    What a brilliant wonderful man! It's a delight listening to him.
  • @feelwang
    When he got passionate and smile, I see Robin Williams. Such a giant.
  • @sarvesh_soni
    His movement when he explains something shows the amount of pleasure he get! There should be an emoji which can illustrate his smile, or an sticker should be there 😊

    That bit about two human beings thinking about same thing but in different manners on the fundamental level, is, one of the most fascinating assertion I have heard in my entire life. And the reasoning was so well articulated even a kid from a high school could understand the underlaying assertion.
  • @anonyme103
    The amount of passion he speaks is unbelievable! I finished the whole video with an inexplicable smile on my face :)
  • @dzenish.2262
    I love the way he thinks, and therefore the way he's able to explain the world around us. Brilliant.
