TEDxCaltech - Danny Hillis - Reminiscing about Richard Feynman

[mike28110]

Wow, this seemed really heartfelt. I'm sure it was really hard for him to openly reminisce about his dearly loved friend. Support to him for doing this.

Who the f#$% dislike something like this? There is always a slow one in every bunch. Dick was a great influence on many people. Including young scientists who never saw him alive. Many would argue the biggest contribution to science in the 20th century was made by Einstein. I disagree, if we factor in how inspiring Feynman was during his career along with his scientific contributions he has to be the most influential scientist of the past century. My two cents.

This is an incredibly beautiful talk by Danny Hillis.

Richard Feynman clearly had a great influence on Danny.

It shines through in how he shares stories of Richard, both sad and up-lifting, that radiate intense emotions, spoken in such a heartfelt way that I could not help but feel tears brimming in my eyes.

Danny Hillis' presentation would make Richard very happy.

Although Feynman may be no longer alive, his life just keeps on happening.
