I did learn the hard way that factoid isn't just a fun word for fact 😂
I play video games and do Science & Technology sections on my twitch stream if you ever wanna catch me live and talk about science!

I was waiting for this Feynman scene and was curious about if they will show it or not. And when Feynman sat in the car without any protective glass, i thanked to Nolan for this little detail :) And I wish you the best for your research :)

Yeah, even the part of him playing the bongos in celebration was also in the book (which is transcribed from an interview/lecture). Thanks so much for the good luck! Defense in three weeks so I will need it :D

@@TinyToxicTofu I hope I will be feeling the same excitement in next years :) Only thing I was sad about Oppenheimer, I wanted a real life visualization of Feynman-von Neumann duo but since it was an Oppenheimer movie, it's ok :) I hope these for next science biographies

Hi there! I have not seen the movie yet, but I bought Feynman's autobiography more than 20 years ago as an undergraduate student and surely it is a great book! But, honestly, viewing the bomb through a car windscreen means that he used some kind of protective glassware after all! I think Prof. Feynman would have accepted such an argument... anyway, I've been using quartz glass cuvettes for UV photochemistry during my PhD and postdoc work for years, and I borrowed them from the spectrophotometer guys, kind of...permanently. I wish you all the best for your research!

Ah thanks appreciate the Goodluck! I will say Feynman was a man who was good at arguing so if you take it up with him, I wish you the best of luck! 🫡

Since Feynman didnt have health issue maybe we all be ok to watch atomic bombs through our car window :)

Let's just all aim not to view an atomic bomb in our lifetime! 😂

yes the glass will stop the uv, but what will stop the glass?

Very cool! I wonder why weren't Feynman and the others there protecting themselves from gamma radiation? Or where they?

@TinyToxicTofu 11 ай бұрын

I'm not atomic bomb expert! The beta and alpha particles probably didn't reach them (if emitted) and if they were worried about gamma, nothing short of 1m of lead would stop gamma, so I guess it was a kind of "oh well" moment. From what I understand it was decently contained for the observers of the trinity test and unforunately it was other nearby towns and villages that suffered

Fluorescent tubes and uv sterilizer tubes both use mercury vapor, therefore have the same emission spectrum. The only difference is that one tube is made out of glass and the other is made out of quartz.

What’s really needy-to-know…. Did you sniff any books after reading?

if this is true why can't I weld wearing naught but my normal glasses '__'

@TinyToxicTofu 11 ай бұрын

I'm sorry when you say weld you mean like working with metal right? There's UV coming from that work? Surely you're wearing them for heat, physical protection and just bright sources of light or am I misunderstanding something 😅

@ohanneskamerkoseyan3157 11 ай бұрын

Electric arc from a welder produces a lot of UV radiation.

@mcRydes 11 ай бұрын

yes ohanneskamerkoseyan is right, you are supposed to wear eye protection with special ratings to protect from UV during arc welding, or even just if you are in the same room as someone welding@@TinyToxicTofu
