  • It's a shame that most of the world isn't 1/10th as intelligent as this guy.

  • @culwin

    Partly because we are raised without questioning things, we are brought up being told things are the way they are because they just are.

  • I love Feynmann so so much. Note that when Stephen Hawking refers to the promulgation of scientific method in the modern era he always quotes Feynman.

  • This is a great video

  • some sweet info here

  • i enjoyed this vid

  • i enjoyed this vid

  • Philosophically, I actually think Feynman is being unreasonable here. In truth there is no way to adjudicate these claims more than pragmatically.

  • Do NOT succumb to the coming "alien" strong delusion to hellp set up the 7 year New World Order!

  • Holy shit, looking at the audience, and thinking 'I've never seen so many horn rimmed spectacles in one place'.

  • @bikos236590 Two cliches in one!

    ".. if he ever had a sighting what he will be telling to the world... "

    - Ah, the old *If only you experienced what I experienced* line. Perhaps he would able to understand a "sighting"?

    "... telling the truth is much harder for a man in his position back then... "

    - A classic misunderstanding of science: the notion that people try to maintain the status quo out of fear of ridicule. Scientists would pounce at the chance to grab a Nobel for proving UFOs.

  • @bikos236590 Sighting is not an evidence or a proof of existence... nor the truth, of what our eyes can see. Anyway, I suggest to all you to read about scientific method. By the way, feynman was a scientist, ironically sarcastic at talks, but he was not a "preacher", WAS A SCIENTIST. If you don't understand what scientist said at talks do not comment. There is no more dangerous that an ignorant open mouth.

  • @pacoberetta the problem with modern day scientists is that they are not scientists at all because they do not use the scientific method at all ( if their is one to start with ) Robert Anton Wilson among others talked about this in great length, check the video in my channel , you see science evolved in a perceptual enterprise not primerely in gaining knowledge , knowledge appears but it is a byproduct and perception is linked with the observer with all his prejudices and beliefs

  • @bikos236590 "The scientist only imposes two things, namely truth and sincerity, imposes them upon himself and upon other scientists." -Schrodinger

    Being on my way to becoming a theoretical physicist and part of the academia, I can confirm that scientific integrity is very strong within the physics community and science community in general. I’m not surprised seeing that an adult who believes in extra-terrestrial landings on earth would also believe such ludicrous theories about science.

  • @pacoberetta

    I wouldn't say "dangerous". Firstly, because one would be committing a mistake by limiting the free speech of those he disagrees with, second because a person who knows no better to hide his ignorance will himself make himself look ridiculous, and because ignorance primarily damages the ignorent person himself. What is dangerous when there are a lot of ignorant people together, because it shileds them from the questions that would quickly reveal to them their lack of knowledge.

  • The same rationale applies to god and religion.

  • @sailcat9 ... and magnetic monopoles and string theory.

  • Oh wow! The PERFECT response to any "can you prove it isn't real" question! This is why Feynman was the master!

  • So many people in that audience were wearing glasses! :O

  • @OhManTFE no contact lenses back then...

  • Thx for sub!!!
