How lucky are we that the internet exists and we can listen to the greats any time we choose?

We are able to listen to him so many years after he gave this interview.After so many years he died.Technology we have today is truly amazing.And we owe it to people like Richard Feynman who pushed human understanding just a little further.

Feyman was probably one the most unique and genuine genious of our time.

This guy can make any topic interesting and accessible, I wish I had teachers like him in school.

a pure love of science and understanding the universe.

This guy is my favorite person on this planet! He wants to teach me something!

this guy is a serious BADASS

Such a lovely personality

Had a smile on my face the whole way through, Its imposible not to smile when listening to feynmans explanations.

Very warm and quite friendly, this man clearly love the mysteries of science

man...this guy is so obsessively CURIOUS. amazingly curious. he has "obsessive curiosity" disorder. no...not disorder...order. it HELPED him so it wasnt a disorder. i LOVE listening to him. what a great man he was. and still IS because we get to see and hear him forever!

Scarily brilliant. Unique

All these Feynmann videos are great. For some reason his enthusiasm is totally infectious. A scientist and a raconteur.

My first book of his I read was his autobiographical "Surely you must be Joking, Mr. Feynman" Wonderful. Hilarious. I sincerely, recommend it to anyone who finds this interesting.

I think as many people as possible should view this series of videos! My jaw dropped and stayed that way for this whole video!

He was perhaps the most insistently democratic genius I have ever read about. His chapter "Alfred Nobel's other mistake" is something of a critique of the idea of being famous for being a celebrity. Hans Bethe and Niels Bohr, men who were rightly distinguished in science when Feynman was _merely_ smart enough to be in the Manhattan Project, sought him out because not even their acknowledged brilliance held him back from arguing with them, and they were wise enough to know that occasionally they overlooked flaws in their newest ideas!

Watching him explain anything makes me so happy

I love this guy! He does (or did) exactly what I do, vis-a-vis imagine stuff, the inner-workings-of-nature kind of thing. And he's so right about how fun it is to do

Feynman is my hero. I never get tired of listening to him. It must be terrific to think as clearly as he did.

I could listen to him all day. His enthusiasm is infectious. He really makes you think.

You have to admire Feynman. True, down to earth genius...

Feynman always helps me visualize and imagine the real world in ways that are wonderful and leave me awe-filled...

i love the way he explains everything. it keeps me paying attention from beginning to end. his genius was phenomenal. i wish he was still alive so that i could pick his brain. There so many questions i would ask

What a treat! Thank you for the high quality upload. "When you comb your hair..." He is wonderful.

This is a man that loves his science. This comes across so clearly. There are those who try to imitate this only to find out that you cannot fake love.

I just so love this man's mind!

I love his way of thinking

i could listen to Feynman for hours ...

As much as he likes to tear at philosophers, I find that Feynman himself, has been the philosopher that has had more or an impact on my life than any other. Perhaps that because, as he likes to say, philosophers at pedantic. In fact it is Feynman who inspired me to study philosophy in university, because important to him, and in my opinion the reason he is such a famous educator, is how people think and why they think the way they do. With a particular fascination with how they think about the world, he uses physics to analyze this and he does so with perfection.

Gell-Mann watched this six times.

It's only coppah!

Many comments are about I wish I had a teacher like this in high school . Well, you people should understand that Feynman knows when he shoot this video that he is talking with the general public so he is making it so simple so that the public can understand it but is this how science really looks like ? The answer is NO, Feynman's scientific specialization is a very complex branch of science and science in general is hard. He just knows that he has to make his videos compelling to the public as if he is explaining something to childrens.

his narratives are so accessible

Fun to listen to him. When I think of people like this I often think how it's almost tragic that they don't get to see where science progresses after they're gone. I wish he could have lived for 200 years.

awesome man great amazing i wish he was my teacher.

Fyenman is such a special person!

I Luv science and physics but I hate the ways they are taught in school.

Simply fantastic! A remarkable and inspiring man....could listen for hours, weeks aeons. Thanks

He does a decent job explaining something in words that can only be explained with sound.

I love to hear him talk about anything- He is just one regular dude who knows a metric ton of Physics!

Priceless! 😊

One can only fantasize about having a science teacher like this. At the opposite end of the spectrum was my Chem 105 prof, who started on the first day with a roomful of student teachers and nurses by putting Schrodinger’s wave equation on the board, and expecting us to understand it....

Mr. Feynman we all love you!

He's such a likeable person.

one may feel that.... spending for 16 years for graduation is a bad idea after listening to the way how he explains. Spending an hour will change ones whole life. Amazing teacher.... culminated human being from the all the fronts of his character

damn, I love that man and his mind!

What I love about Richard most, is that while he knows a LOT about how fundamental stuff works, he wonders about what he tells just like his audience, and can easaly admit that he knows nothing about nature.

RPF is my inspiration - he's so *cool* in all senses of the word - made me swap good techie career for physics/cosmology study - amazing guy.. thanks voor the vid

Wow, Thank you very much.

Feynman's brain was so complex, yet he could spin a story that left one thinking, "but I never thought about it that way" . I suppose this has been answered: If alike particles, protons for instance repel each other how come the concept of the atom has them huddled together in the centre of the atom. Are they herded together by the electron field that surrounds them? I am but a layman in the physics realm.

Think how many people would have his curiosity about the universe if their parents challenged their kid's minds the way his father did!

Wonderful video

People need to have this kind of imaginative perspective in order to love science and not the just the formula and equation based.

My favorite person in the whole world...

What i've learned from listening to many talks from Feynman is that a scientist does not ask a question like "why ?" because the answer depends on a context and always generates a new "why". I think scientist try to describe nature ("how") in such a way that the answer is based on general principles that can be experimentally verified

Any book with his name on it is worth a read. Some require a bit more head-scratching though . . . . .

I had to laugh... "It's so enormous, that if I were all electrons..." And then he immediately acts like, "Nah, that's stupid," and goes on to something else.

It's hard not to poke your chair while watching this.

"It's so enormous, that if I were all electrons..." I really wanted him to carry on with that example!!

everybody should watch Feynman 'Fun to Imagine' videos... it forces you to think.... which is very good!

"Gravity is attractive, and this is repulsive." Gosh, I don't think it's repulsive. I think it's beautiful.

thanks for sharing - precious.

Watch this video and listen to wonderful way Richard Feynman explains what electricity, magnetism or electromagnetism is.

I was expecting something more simple but when he started with "dam" I was like damn that's deep.

@Indygoguy I have no idea. However, I do know that the perminant magnets do in fact lose strength over time. It is a shockingly long time, but it does occur.

I love how he has to explain the idea of an axiom to the interviewer

Wonderful. Thank you very much!

The big wheel that is rotating is called an alternator a synchronous generator.

You are the one and only

imagine if this guy was a live to show up on the Joe Rogan podcast

What does God have to do with any of the truth that he is so eloquently describing? Just appreciate the beauty of the truth for what it is.

He's partly talking about The Pauli exclusion principle (in case anyone wanted to read further on it, it is fascinating :) )

I'm speechless

Yep, there is a big man in the sky playing a really big game of The Sims. I'm just glad I know how to get out of a pool without a ladder.

brilliant truelly intresting.

This guy was just a fucking badass.

Spooky action at a disance

Those 32 dislikes must be coming from philosophers, he used to piss these people a lot xD

7:54 laughs like Sheldon!

He is both based *and* repilled. RIP in peace Richard Feynman.

Elementary my dear Watson. Toroidal field. Life is the forces of opposition NULL and attraction.

When ya comb ya heya...

ooh my tiny mind is spanked into place by your breathtaking wit

That's the word I was looking for.

Richard reminds me of Tony Curtis.

They don't need to travel to do what he is saying about, just resonate and pass on an effect to the end, which as you probably know happens very quickly!

greater discoveries than electricity ,yet to come ...

Even though he's pretty bad at explaining things, he is still very interesting to listen to.

@robertwc82 Light can and always do pass through another "beam" of light. If you look at the light as a particle, then its called a photon, as you probably know, and photons are a class of particles called bozons, which one of the features is that two of those can occupy the same space unlike fermions, that cannot. Atom is made out of fermions - electrons, protons, neutrons, and although its 99.99..% empty space, because of enormous electric, reppeling force it seems solid as a whole.

SPOOKY ACTION AT A DISTANCE.

Someone should really do visuals and animations of what he’s describing.Would make really great educational videos.

To put things in perspective: There's more atoms in a glass of water than glasses of water in the whole oceans of the world!!

Funny to hear Feynman characterise Maxwell's synthesis as the most remarkable, greatest change in history and to know that I can stroll not two miles from where I sit and see Maxwell's house and the communal garden he played in as a boy. Just another Scot inventing the modern world. Vote YES in 2014 !!!!

@liverloop123 OH! I almost forgot Brian Cox. He's amazing too, he does a lot of documentaries with the BBC and he's a particle physicist at CERN.

He's right.

this man knows lots about fawcess

Good point!

Not very many downvotes, but I have to wonder what kind of person would downvote this video.

Also , 'What do you care what other people think'
