This video is exactly why I love Feynman / Sagan / Tyson etc so much, it's a great example of his enthusiasm towards understanding, a testament to the great pleasures of exploring mysterious things and eventually uncovering answers to light the dark places in your understanding. His excitement is so contagious.
Yeah, when I got to this part in his Lectures, there was no turning back. I was floored by every sentence, every concept, then floored again by his understanding of the phenomena- the intimacy he must have had with it to be able to relate it like he did, floored by his imagination, floored by his logic, floored by the simple beauty of reality. This dude is dropping truth like it's going out of style. Blew my mind to bits.
just imagine, with the ever-increasing emf radiation we're getting beamed through us and mutations goin on...anyone remember Johnny Mnemonic? NAS, nerve-attenuation syndrome...lol it's happening, there was that article last year about wifi 'n stuff killing off trees? oh yeah that 'n the X-Men Era, bunch of lil magnetos and supernaturals popping up all over the globe...crazy stuff folk
@bondishman2 Yes, there all part of the electromagnetic spectrum. Actually, they (electromagnetic waves) all travel at the same speed in a vacuum; that is the speed of light.
This shows how the mind of a scientist truly works, it's about looking at everything in different perspectives so as to prompt you to research things you wouldn't have before. Being a scientist is about what you know, it's about using what you know to learn more.
If you enjoy his way of thinking, go to the Nobel Prize website and read his acceptance speech. Or read Lawrence Krauss's biography (published a few months ago). You will get quite an interesting insight into the mind of this genius.
I miss this man so much. It would have been so great if he could have been around long enough to see string theory develop into a credible theory and the beauty of its the math.
At 4:58 Feynman seems to studiously avoid the term that I've become familiar with, "electromagnetic", and uses "electric" instead. is he just generalizing, or is he taking an oppositional stance toward the "magnetic"? Also: I'm no physicist!
@sirtophamhatt He is just generalizing. The elecric and magnetic field are "joined at the hip". There are some really cool java applets that show 3D images of EM fields on the web. You may want to check them out.
You have missed the point MrLesWhite, Feynman is saying, the information is all around us; in the form of EM waves, and our eye(s) are tools for percieving this informaition, it doesnt matter if we need 2 eyes, the point is, if the info wasnt there to begin with we wouldnt be able to inturpret it. Close 1 of yours eyes and see if the world turns 2D! Ur brain is still able to interprute the information stored within "visible" EM waves, against, what it already understands about light.
very difficult to describe consciousness. no one really "knows" what it is. a car without a driver is a useless machine, just as a radio is useless if there were no waves to lock onto. I tend to think our brains are like the car and "we" are the consciousness. the brain is perhaps just a vehicle for consciousness to express itself through.
@ronocko no idea, I'm no scientist. I'm just speaking philosophically. I certainly don't believe in any of the silly fair tales of religion so I tend to be agnostic. but even that is not necessary because perhaps some absolute truth is knowable - so until then I am happy to doubt.
@ferkinskin And then, everything that you say about religion applies very well to science too. Why would I be interested in the area of a circle? I am more interested in the circle as an abstract representation of the circle of life, of equality, of subtle perfection. The scientific method does not include a proof of its own correctness, which is exactly what you accuse religion of. Mystics assume. Scientists assume too. Of course, science is different in its subservience to human needs.
@shangoyal Speaking of circles. I wonder how many scientist understand the circle's metaphorical 360 degrees. 365 days minus 5 holy days - the cyclicity of life as you point out. Science and religion are one, but the modern world is trying to pull them apart.
@rusty1491 how is it metaphorical that it has 360 degrees? It comes from a sexagesimal system (60) based on one unit of angle being the 60 degree angle in each point of an equilateral triangle, 6 * 60 = 360. Also, the length of a year is 365.25 days. Does this mean that there are 5.25 holy days? No, its completely irrelevant, and real mathematicians and scientists use radians anyways. Most astronomers don't believe astrology. The Cyclicity of things is more related to 2pi, and to sqrt[-1].
@DarthPickley It would be logical to make a circle 100 degrees - wouldn't it? Yes, you're correct, the days aren't exact. The attempt was to find harmony in the heavens and earth. Monks and priests were the first scientists and they intentionally married metaphor with science - it's referenced in the Lords prayer "as in earth as it is in heaven". Their is science in biblical stories as well; it's unfortunate people nowadays interpret everything literally especially religious fundamentalist.
@rusty1491 the point is, religion is irrelevant to the process of science. coincidences do not imply anything. you must back up your statements with evidence... at least a mathematical proof if you want to argue logically or whatever. SCIENCE
@DarthPickley You are correct as regards scientific knowledge. Empirical (scientific) knowledge is not the only KIND of knowledge that there is. This idea dates back to Aristotle, the same fellow who coined the word "physics" (as distinct from metaphysics). There are things that can be experienced yet not scientifically understood. Religion is indeed irrelevant to science, but isn't irrelevant in and of itself.
@WesTaylorable What are those experiences? I can only distinguish two kinds of experiences:the ones external to our mind, that is the response given by our brain to external input; and experiences related to thinking,which input is mostly knowledge "stored" in our brain,i.e.,our memories.Therefore, these two types of experiences determine the two kinds of knowledge you identified,in terms of how they are obtained. Still, i can't see how religion is useful to produce the second kind of knowledge.
@WesTaylorable Ultimately, religion is a source of inspiration, which, in my opinion, is no more than a set of memories associated to positive feelings that improve the quality of our thinking, but if we think like that, then there are many other sources of inspiration. It has to do with individual experiences. What i lack to understand is the usefulness of a belief in a supreme being to the production of metaphysical knowledge. Because philosophers use logic to think, not blind belief.
@WesTaylorable "religion .. is no more than a set of memories associated to positive feelings that improve the quality of our thinking" - Develop more complex opinions
"What i lack to understand is ... to the production of metaphysical knowledge" - Metaphysical knowledge is not produced, it is discovered. The scientific method is only one such way of said discovery. Campbell defined God as that which transcends rational knowledge. Such experiences certainly exist. Try falling in love.
@ferkinskin But of course, Feynman was a great teacher. He appears to have a real grip on the right things. And at the level he is talking about things, religion mixes in with science and art and all those things. But on account of him, don't discount the religious saint or mystic. If you say religion imposes its beliefs on people, isn't logic, the tool one such example of the tyranny of science in the modern world? Everybody today is oertly expected to be logical, to "get real".
@ferkinskin Religion attempts a more complete and inclusive explanation of the universe. And because it attempts this impossible thing, modern people believe it is baseless and useless. Science is a structured and logical explanation, and one that can be more easily "shown" and "expounded" and therefore better fit for propagation. But if you want to say physics as studied in the 21st century is the truth, give me a break. I mean, fuck those mesons and bosons and assons and bluons and dickons.
Thought provoking. A great teacher, philosopher and mathematician. Gone too soon. And (assuming from the videos I watched) had fun in life. An enlightened human beeing.
I love how even though he worked at the forefront of quantum field theory for years and developed some of the most important equations we have today, he can still come down to explain things at a level that almost anybody can understand. What a wonderful man.
there was that science fiction movie where the electromagnetic enviroment got so overcrowded with wireless that people got overdosed and died (or maybe mutated).
Didn't he have something to do with a strip club? I think he did. You know, it's amazing when you see someone that's so brilliant they blow you away but then you realize they got a huge down-to-earth quality too. He's one of those people. Great person.
LoL. I was watching one of the TED talks & apparently there was a doctor that wanted to test to see if women are naturally more sexual & subconsciously giving off a more sexual vibe when they're ovulating (basically when they're "in heat"). Guess where he did his study? In a strip club! He found out that we are like other animals...the women made more money when "in heat" during that time of the month & the men were subconsciously responding to the women's subtle changes in demeanor
When I was at school I had a physics professor who casually remarked that he'd consider himself accomplished if he knew 10% as much about physics as Richard Feyman did.
anyone not blown away by Feynmans descriptions of nature and the world around us is lacking a heart, a brain or both. Absolute fucking poetry! Why would anyone need religion as an explaination of anything? A real shame he has gone!!
Who is they? And there is a very good reason for having to distinguish between religion and science. Listen to Feynman, Krause, Dennet, Harris. We are not talking of religion that says "well it's just my belief" but of ones that say this IS the way the universe is. We are talking about baseless belief on one side and the constant endevour toward knowledge on the other using methods that have brought us thus far. I'm afraid we must distinguish.
And..we cannot discern religion the way they did science. They are incompatible. They discern sceince that way because of the scientific method...you cannot perceive religion that way..or if you can you must explain to me how. The Earth is 6000 years old. How is that compatible with the sciences of Geography, Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics etc? The invisible man in the sky thing just doesn't do it anymore. The universe is too large for personal gods.
@ferkinskin Religion gets into the direct experience of such things. And yes those experiences match upto the science and there are gifted people that understand both - not me. Why be against the approach to the same thing if both paths lead to the same knowledge? Personally I've never been threatened by either science or religion.
Im not of the opinion that they are experiences of the same thing. I also dont agree that they are different paths to the same thing at all or that they lead to the same knowledge. I have never been apporoached by an atheist who wants to convert me to atheism. Religion, in my opinion, threatens the mind of children when they are indoctrinated in schools, and told that they will burn in hell for all eternity. Just my opinion.
Very smart man and a brilliant mathematician. What strikes me most interesting about Mr. Feynman is his humor. He brought some comedy into his scientific lectures. R.I. P. Mr. Richard Feynman.
Feynman was truly an extraordinary individual - a gem of a human. He was by any and all standards a genius - but it didn't stop there - he was also funny and passionate - he was also engaging and a great lecturer - he was humble and he was cool (an expert at cracking safes) - he was also such a great person. I have nothing but the utmost respect and admiration for this legend.
Feynmans picture should be next to the word genius in the dictionary. Most of the people in modern society that randomly get called a genius aren't even on the same planet as this man. I'm sure he could have talked in binary and for the people listening it would have been thrilling and fun. Its sad that men like this are so rare.
@theyouuser It is soo true, he just can make anything interesting and most of all fun. I admire his passion, he just is excited about everything. He can brake down such complicated aspects of physical into the most relatable way to communicate to the masses. I wish I could have met him.
The quantum interactions from each of these individual universes stemming from the 10th dimention and their slight variations from each other creates the gambit of chaos inherent to reality. As a sentient being I can't predict exactly what you're going to do but I can perceive the possibilities. You as well as a sentient being can perceive your choices and chose. Thereby creating reality within the perimeters of your influence. time as we know it is one path of many from the 10th dimention.
I think consciousness is inherent to chaos. Life is like very complex molecular machines which are very sensitive to chaos. Scientists are puzzled by the uniformity of the early universe. How there seems to be a delay in chaos's effect to develop varying densities. It's these variations which got everything started. The early rapid inflation and uniformity breaking into chaos and space-time as we know it postulates a multi-verse theory.
I love the fact that when the video transfer was done, the signal was just weak enough for the chroma (color) signal to drop out occasionally, rendering the resultant video in occasional moments of black and white instead of color.
I find it damn depressing that the person who edited this video didn't cut it before it says "the spaceshuttle challenger exploded." What a horrible way to end a wonderful video from the legendary Feynman
Actually I find that the last 3 secs is beneficial to those who have seen enough of these scarce pieces of an interview of a man they knew hardly about to know that he played an important role in that ''event' as he would probably find it to be. It leaves a page for people to turn over to rather than a ''.'' at the end of a conclusion.
Let us learn more! It rings.
Don't get me wrong, I know what it is to present something and conclude but this I think helps more people learn.
Science & religion are fundamentally similar. Both are ways of describing a reality that exists independently of our descriptions. Our experience may be studied & labeled either as a scientific process or an act of god; but, in reality, we are unable to truly & intimately know the depth and complexity of the cosmos and thus ourselves. The universe (or God, if you prefer) is merciful that way. If we knew everything at all times & had complete control, this place would be an incredible bore.
This video is exactly why I love Feynman / Sagan / Tyson etc so much, it's a great example of his enthusiasm towards understanding, a testament to the great pleasures of exploring mysterious things and eventually uncovering answers to light the dark places in your understanding. His excitement is so contagious.

I was watching one of the TED talks & apparently there was a doctor that wanted to test to see if women are naturally more sexual & subconsciously giving off a more sexual vibe when they're ovulating (basically when they're "in heat"). Guess where he did his study? In a strip club! He found out that we are like other animals...the women made more money when "in heat" during that time of the month & the men were subconsciously responding to the women's subtle changes in demeanor

When I was at school I had a physics professor who casually remarked that he'd consider himself accomplished if he knew 10% as much about physics as Richard Feyman did.

@ferkinskin Why would people need to distinguish between religion and science? Maybe if one could discern religion the way they did science.

@ColtraneTaylor
Who is they? And there is a very good reason for having to distinguish between religion and science. Listen to Feynman, Krause, Dennet, Harris. We are not talking of religion that says "well it's just my belief" but of ones that say this IS the way the universe is. We are talking about baseless belief on one side and the constant endevour toward knowledge on the other using methods that have brought us thus far. I'm afraid we must distinguish.

@ferkinskin
And..we cannot discern religion the way they did science. They are incompatible. They discern sceince that way because of the scientific method...you cannot perceive religion that way..or if you can you must explain to me how. The Earth is 6000 years old. How is that compatible with the sciences of Geography, Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics etc? The invisible man in the sky thing just doesn't do it anymore. The universe is too large for personal gods.

@ferkinskin Religion gets into the direct experience of such things. And yes those experiences match upto the science and there are gifted people that understand both - not me. Why be against the approach to the same thing if both paths lead to the same knowledge? Personally I've never been threatened by either science or religion.
ColtraneTaylor 7 months ago
@ColtraneTaylor
Im not of the opinion that they are experiences of the same thing. I also dont agree that they are different paths to the same thing at all or that they lead to the same knowledge. I have never been apporoached by an atheist who wants to convert me to atheism. Religion, in my opinion, threatens the mind of children when they are indoctrinated in schools, and told that they will burn in hell for all eternity. Just my opinion.

Feynman was truly an extraordinary individual - a gem of a human. He was by any and all standards a genius - but it didn't stop there - he was also funny and passionate - he was also engaging and a great lecturer - he was humble and he was cool (an expert at cracking safes) - he was also such a great person. I have nothing but the utmost respect and admiration for this legend.

Feynmans picture should be next to the word genius in the dictionary. Most of the people in modern society that randomly get called a genius aren't even on the same planet as this man. I'm sure he could have talked in binary and for the people listening it would have been thrilling and fun. Its sad that men like this are so rare.

The quantum interactions from each of these individual universes stemming from the 10th dimention and their slight variations from each other creates the gambit of chaos inherent to reality. As a sentient being I can't predict exactly what you're going to do but I can perceive the possibilities. You as well as a sentient being can perceive your choices and chose. Thereby creating reality within the perimeters of your influence. time as we know it is one path of many from the 10th dimention.
Ixions42 1 year ago
I think consciousness is inherent to chaos. Life is like very complex molecular machines which are very sensitive to chaos. Scientists are puzzled by the uniformity of the early universe. How there seems to be a delay in chaos's effect to develop varying densities. It's these variations which got everything started. The early rapid inflation and uniformity breaking into chaos and space-time as we know it postulates a multi-verse theory.

Actually I find that the last 3 secs is beneficial to those who have seen enough of these scarce pieces of an interview of a man they knew hardly about to know that he played an important role in that ''event' as he would probably find it to be. It leaves a page for people to turn over to rather than a ''.'' at the end of a conclusion.
Let us learn more! It rings.
Don't get me wrong, I know what it is to present something and conclude but this I think helps more people learn.

Science & religion are fundamentally similar. Both are ways of describing a reality that exists independently of our descriptions. Our experience may be studied & labeled either as a scientific process or an act of god; but, in reality, we are unable to truly & intimately know the depth and complexity of the cosmos and thus ourselves. The universe (or God, if you prefer) is merciful that way. If we knew everything at all times & had complete control, this place would be an incredible bore.
