Richard Feynman - The Character of Physical Law -7 -Seeking New Laws

[industrialbirds]

being not a schooled physicist, but someone with a great interest in the matter, i feel as physics hasn't really progressed much since then. probably alot of things have been worked out in more detail (i'm basing my opinion on popular scientific books and programs) but the major questions posed here are the very same as we have today. Yes we have string theory now, but it's still very uncertain, and there are a number of other proposed solutions, none of them really convincing yet.

@industrialbirds for that let me show you another feynman:

And also think of all the technologies that were made possible trough quantum mechanics and relativity (CD-Burners or GPS) ....the reason why their aren't any fundamental breaktroughs nowadays is, that the currents models are to a certain degree proved. Wait for more data and the theories will improve further. ;)

Wow.... seven hours peering into the mind of a genius.

All the material he discussed sounds current today. Amazing.

BRAVO!!

Thanks for posting these... what a treasure.
