Richard Feynman - The World from another point of view

The famous American physicist Richard Feynman used to take holidays in England. His third wife, Gweneth Howarth, was a native of West Yorkshire, so every year the Feynman family would visit her hometown of Ripponden or the nearby hamlet of Mill Bank.
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.

My brother passed away and he enjoyed listening to Feynman and Sagan, so hearing either of them speak is like going back a few years and sitting with my brother. Wherever the dead go, hes with great people.

Amazingly sublime observation

@kigtod 7 жыл бұрын

I loved the "I take it all back" moment (31:55) where Feynman realised that, having initially thought he could only have deep discussions with other scientists, he was wrong. Evidence popped into his mind that he had had good discussions with a historian and others so he quickly reformulated the theory to base it on the type of individual, not their profession. Now what he was saying fitted the evidence and he was happy to change his mind - that's a true scientist.

kigtod also, how many of our leaders would be willing to admit they were wrong and say "i take it all back" if they knew that it was in the best interest of our society? scary thing is most of those in power would be to afraid to admit. which is kind of scary when you think about how easy it is to be wrong even if you are a genius.

@chetmorrison7542 7 жыл бұрын

And a gentleman. What I think really is true is this: Feynman is a brilliantly minded person...who needs another brilliantly minded person to have a meaningful conversation with. Most conversations with us ordinary people, however, concern the trivial and the here and now. No boundary pushing, no deep questions, no striving for overarching explanations. Further, many artists are perfectly good at their craft, but fall into that category as well, which a person like Feynman is not and never will be really interested in. And who can blame him?

@grahamblack1961 11 ай бұрын

I think what fascinates people about Feynman isn't just how smart he was, there have been plenty people as smart of Feynman, smarter even. What's so interesting about him is that he seems to be more alive than other people, he's so awake and fully engaged in everything around him. He's so interested in everything and everyone. You see when he talks to someone all his focus is on that person and what they're saying.

@soulriser44 8 ай бұрын

While that all seems largely true, he seems to take a lot of the oxygen out of the room, dominating the conversation rather than inquiring and allowing space for others to share their thoughts, feelings, experiences. Overall he's a bit self indulgent, spilling his fascinated mind over everything and rarely letting others in.

The great thing about Richard Feynman was his ability to obliquely make an observation and with an inquiring mind methodically assess its behaviour but without preconceived ideas. He was conscious of the fact that we must keep an open mind and that our current understanding of the problem at hand could only ever be our "best guess" until such time it is proved otherwise. Historians take note.

So for the last 10 years, I've make sure I know what it's called.

What hell they went through living with a genius on the day to day when the man is clearly, always, non-stop struggling slogging to know everything at every moment. The level of energy a wife would need to keep up is incalculable. I wonder if he ever felt contempt for evryday concerns and people so able to accept things at face value. It would be lovely to see a film about his personal life and how he got on with non-seekers, if you will. Surely it can't have been easy for him, living inside of his own mind. ❤this thank you for posting.

The only hint of these types of minds that, is the still rare types of which emerge between late adolescents and the Early to mid-20s. You see them sometimes.. The type that score 30% on their SAT, but still maintains a 4.0 in late college as STEM majors. It's really amazing that such a mind like Feynman could exist up to a couple decades ago.

I found Feynman's conversations and intellectual discussions with various people fascinating. However, one thing that personally fascinates me is the fact that during the time of the interview, film was the only media used. It must have required a significant amount of planning and effort from the producer, filmmaker, and interviewer to capture the excitement and intellectual inquiry that occurred. I believe that our current cultural and intellectual decline stands in sharp contrast to the media's capacity and willingness to discover truth instead of solely focusing on instant gratification and commercialization for profit motives..

OK! Richard Feynman rediscovered calculus by himself by age 17. He definitively had a gift with maths. But when he talks of is father, you just see how is dad was important in is life. And what a dad he had. Mathematics, he rediscovered them, those maths which are a must by today's standards to invent any theories in science. I understand scientific principles, but I sometimes feel like an illiterate because I hardly ever understood advanced maths, well not the way it was taught to me. I did calculus 1 in CEGEP (it is between High School and University in Quebec Province's educational system in Canada) even though I was in human science, I took the math option. It is then I found out what all those complicated maths can describe. I struggled with maths, even I ended up doing well, because I simply repeated equations and steps without seeing the meaning of those equations. This is why I feel illiterate when I witness people like Feynman or any mathematician that know exactly what each variable mean. I probably would do better if I would go back to school toda, because I would ask more questions. This shows how our educational system just teaches us like stupid parrots the language of mathematics.

Feynman spoke beautifully about arriving at his understanding of Helium and how he tried to recreate it for future problems and failed. This reminded me of another speech, from an artist who mentioned, that poets have such feeling, where verses flow almost from nowhere and they are so inspired at that point in time; where nature pushes out a masterpiece and let's them express it. I wonder, if great minds are incubators for those moments of magic that let's consciousness channel world class thoughts via them? So there seems to be no rules to victory, but a mere expectation-less pursuit.

same i have always loved science but thought i didn’t think i wanted to dedicate that much time to uni and study, but now i think its worth it to get a better understanding on whatever it may be.

Feynman had a love affair with logic .Everything else was just gravy.As a physician I always encouraged the Residents I taught to think logically and creatively and not be afraid to consider new ways of approaching diagnosis . As a fellow graduate of MIT that type of thinking was emphasized there. I used it in the practice of medicine with great effect. I have been listening to his lectures and his grasp of the whole gestalt of physics and the math and history associated with it is unrivaled. Richard had an unending curiosity about things. Learning was his major source of continuity and it showed in everything he did. Remarkable man.

The biggest lesson I learned in engineering school some 40 years ago is that the smartest person in the room is the person who can explain complicated concepts in simple, understandable words. Feynman certainly meets that definition.

Anyone who isn't familiar with Feynman is intellectually impoverished for it. I love this old documentary....I can watch it over and over. He's one of the few people who had a similar gift to Sagan for sharing the sense of wonder of science, while also having the gift of Einstein for adding to the scientific lexicon. A truly remarkable human being.

"Anyone who isn't familiar with Feynman is intellectually impoverished for it" dumb ass......so like at least 50 -70% of the human race.... yeah ?...........hows about stepping down off of that White high horse........why go there ? fuck....... what a small minded, idiotic comment to make. why try insult peoples intelligence like that....you self gratifying, sanctimonious prick. have a great fricking day......

***** "so like at least 50 -70% of the human race.... yeah ?" At least. Do you think they're better off intellectually for not knowing about Feynman? How am I wrong exactly, other than you thinking I've "insulted their intelligence?" (BTW, that's not what it means to insult someone's intelligence, you might want to look that phrase up before using it in the future).

I admire & love Feynman's passion towards physics and just learning from others that have gone as far as they could possibly go in their professional field. (As he pointed out at 32:38) He's also very enjoyable to watch, which to me, it seems kind of rare especially when it comes to physics. You can tell how he just enjoys learning and explaining what he's thinking. From what I have seen in other interviews, I think he is one of the smartest human beings that have ever walked on the face of the earth.

Thank you for posting! I loved the rapport between Fred and Richard -- their combined thinking takes us from the largest things we can observe to the smallest - to the limits of the universe and time. Quite extraordinary. People passionate about ideas .. and a pub. A magic combination!

A fascinating video -- made even more fascinating by some of the technical explanations offered by Dr. Feynman that are now out of date. Judging from Feynman's age (given at the beginning of the video), this was produced sometime around 1972. A lot of things have changed since then, and I wonder what Richard would think of the advancements since that time (Higgs Boson, gravitational waves, quantum teleportation, etc.)...
