Why Feynman bothered? Feynman was semi-serious here. Recall the social context at the time, most infamous being God does not throw dice by Einstein, resonated in the heads of headless philosophers, they voluntarily despised any theory implying the world is fundamentally based on odds, without logic. So before introducing probability amplitude, Dick needed lubricant (a spicy kind), proposing never mind the philosophy, see what we observed, how they were formulated in a congruous system ka QED.
I am a Christian. I like his comment, it is honest and open. His comment is not arrogant... presuming that he knows everything. Truth is many things are not the way I (we) would like, are very complex and hard to know...
I believe that is the way God made them, in an elaborately beautiful, beautiful world marred by a twist of perversion from of the fall of man. Perhaps if we looked closely there are lots of things to agree about.
The idea "go in another universe" is not a part of the scientific proof, the dogmatism is a part of human behavior without, but not of scientific method. If you practice a science some hours daily that will not make you less dogmatic...
@FilosofieRomaneasca His point isn't this is definitely how it is and if you disagree fuck you I'm right.
His point is this is (with the current available knowledge) what nature is really like as best we can tell. IF you can provide evidence for why it is not and an alternate to what he proposes (substantial evidence.) then he would agree that you have the more accurate model of the nature of reality, but there are people who flat out deny science for their own beliefs based on nothing.
This kind of thinking lead us to crime and barbary: "I tell you how the nature looks, exactly, if you don't like it go in another univers!" Fuck off, Hitler! I am able to know my own world, sucker and it is not normal to pretend that you DEFINE my world in a ultimate way, irrefutable, ok?!
Am not proposing a relativistic view etc, but just the normality of live and reality, which is the most proper space even for knowledge...
@FilosofieRomaneasca Easy, enjoy the humor. For some unknown mental mechanism, you see crime and Hitler out of Feynman's satire? You have crime and Hitler in your mind then. He's not telling or selling you a dogma or religion, he's encouraging you to carefully observe how the universe works, well, if you could master the "telescope". Sorry, it seems your "own world" speaks a different language with colorful curses but somehow isn't compatible with logic and sense.
@FilosofieRomaneasca If you wish to claim you can define your own world, I challenge you to take a long walk off a short pier and define away gravity.
If you remain unsoaked I shall accept your argument.
@mkarnerfors Think again, to"accept an argument" should be as well the expression of the same right of defining your world. Please pay attention to the distance between saying something true, solid, giving a good argument etc and an attitude like "if you don't like it, go in another universe". It is important to avoid this kind of attitude, and not only when we don't agree with a certain point of view. We need to be suspicious in respect with our convictions....
@FilosofieRomaneasca Please try to understand the culture of satire, and the nature of this motivating lecture. Feynman OBSERVED the universe and was telling us what he got, with evidences supporting his mental/mathematical "model"; he never attempted to DEFINE the universe, which you seem to do all the time, at least in "your own world". The attitude of satire is fun, and that's part of why we love Feynman; but the attitude of "defining your world" is anything but "the scientific method".
@FilosofieRomaneasca We all have a subjective view of what is real and what is not. But if you want to really know what's really real, what's common for everyone (objectivity) and how nature truly works, then you'll have to put your egoism away, be humble and do science. That's what that gentleman said, in other words.
@FilosofieRomaneasca do you have any idea who this guy feynman is? why do you have to embarrass us romanians even here. Feynman is responsible for the top of the notch physics today, namely qed. it describes everything as accurately as the human race could ever do. please don't make a fool of yourself in the name of all romanians
And of course i speak in my own name. You actually say "us romanians", so you are a plural person.
I continue to think that this kind of idea & irony ("the reality derives from my descriptions, my descriptions, even physicists ones, can replace your contact with the reality") is not a part of scientific research, but a general human tendency, that you can find, in the same form, to the scientists, politicians priests etc
@FilosofieRomaneasca can't the guy joke? if you would've watched his other clips with physics understanding reasons you would've seen how logical and simple and great his examples and explanations are. your philosofy is useless. as is lumping a man who has received the nobel prise with priests and politicians a childish and futile one for the general understanding of the universe through worthy principles
@FilosofieRomaneasca Science isn't the same as politics, science is about investigating nature and seeing how the universe actually is, of course its a joke, do you really expect him to start deporting people out of the universe?! Use your head man, don't come on an intelligent video and then talk like a moron. Makes the human race look bad. Oh and by the way he helped to stop world war 2.
Ohk stud, you tell me how the nature looks like! Who the fuck said its irrefutable? Go back and collect IQs from all your family of retards and if you had enough to match Feynman, come tell us how you gonna refute it. Until then shut the fuck up and fuck off you moron!
@FilosofieRomaneasca It's obvius you don't know Feynman's work, he always says his work it's not irrefutable. I think you just want to look like an intelectualoide and you're just making a fool of you. You can define your own world, like religious and people who don't "believe" in science. You just have to decide wich one has the best arguments and proofs, i think as you are a "philosopher" you know hw to argument things. So, study science and check if it's so far from the real working of things
@bulkrivero you should make the difference between his scientific work, which respect the scientific rigorous methodology, and this kind of lecture, which is an OPINION, not at all a scientific one.
I just observe that the people like and need not a scientist but a leader, a charismatic talker. The dangerous part is the confusion that everyone make between the authority of scientific research and the OPINIONS of a scientist.
here ppl talk about "the IQ of Feymann"and this is a sophism
@MrRi3m4nn@nicob89 Do you guys actually know who Richard Feynman was? Most likely not. Which is a shame because your ignorance is quite astounding. Now if you were quietly ignorant it would have been ok but no, you had to go on the internet and manifest your ignorance and lack of knowledge in front of many people right below the video of a Nobel prize winner. Read up who he is and what he accomplished and until then please sit down and be quiet.
@Nomadprods I can't say anything for the other guy but I know full well who he is. I just think there have been far better physicists, many of whom hardly anyone ever hears about.
@MetalMilitia5488 Off the top of my head there's Euler, Dirac, Gauss, Bohr, Planck, Riemann, Pauli (some were technically mathematicians), or more know ones like Newton and Einstein. There are probably hundreds more, all who did truly groundbreaking work. Feynman was prolific and a good teacher, but any good physicist could have done most of his work.
@nicob89 uhh.....what? no...just no.... logic is the quality of being justifiable by reason. using logic, i can determine that the sky is blue, with the reason being that i can SEE its blue, and so can everyone else. does that make me wrong?
You are accepted by your bull-shit-ness and not by what you know.
This man spend most of his life investigating physics and not investigating how to bull shit. But that is not good in today's world. You need to practice how to bull shit your way up and how to be politically correct and take some classes on how to kiss some ass and go to management school to learn
@aprilrosemusic . Well, you sure used quite a lot of bull shit words in order to prove your point. I however, used less. With a sharp intellect and a whole lotta luck you'il get struck by the light and find that Mr Feynman is the man.
If someone doesn't value evidence then what evidence are you going to provide to prove that they should value it. If someone doesn't value logic what logical argument can you provide to show the importance of logic All we can do is appeal to scientific values.

@GuitarMannnnnn You know it. It was written down somewhere anyway and everyone generally attributes the quote to him. As a side note, he was known for going to strip clubs and doing physics on napkins. Eccentric dude. :-)
LOL funny that you would say that, I swear I was THIS (nanometer) close to including him, but I had figured 3 were enough. But honestly, Carl Sagan definitely deserves to be on the list as well. Just pretend that I initially included him (hehehe).
This reminds me of my physics teacher when he said "there are two ways to teach this class, either we slow down, or I make it easy...AND I'M NOT MAKING IT EASY."
search youtube for "Feynman Character of Physical Law"
you will find a seven hour long lectures by Richard Feynman on physical laws and the characteristics they seem to share. Working versions of each lecture are also located on my favorites page. I recommend them highly.
@MrGrevy I am pretty sure i never said that thanks for the assumption though! Assumptions are fun aren't they? i mean think of all the good that can come from them, all the hatred rage and racism, which i could take a blind leap and assume you support but i wont. Why? because i am sure you are a good person and just a little bit brash with your assumptions. Please don't infer with such little information as you will get false results. I would never wish any one to "STFU" but be adult. please.
One simple thing this (otherwise really clever ) man, is that you can't help people by denegating them. His speech there sounds like a rant, it lacks empathy, it proposes no solution to help these recalcitrant minds to understand.
@chibraxial Recalcitrant minds fail to understand that they should try to understand HIM rather than expecting him to understand THEM. It's not rhetorical. Think about it.
You're wrong. It's like asking every single human to reinvent the wheel the first time they must use a car or a bicycle... It's best to learn it from someone who already know and is willing to explain.
@chibraxial Well, in fact, don't take it personally. I'm pretty sure Feynman is talking about some issues about philosophers or Quantum mechanics (like "God does not play dice") or his renormalization scheme.
His theory works, and he can tell people how to perform some integrals. But, If you're not happy with it, you can say that it's a little messy and complicated, so then go somewhere else in another universe, because in this universe, it works. I think this is what he meant.
"go...Universe" RF had guts. He was invited to see CERN Particle Accelerator. "How much did it cost" he asked: "and what does it do?" "$650 m" came the answer: 'hopefully it shall prove your theory?" "my, why didn't you believe me?" he said: "you could have saved all that money." "Sir, we believed you." said the man: "that is why we have built it to make others believe.." If I could have given my life to extend his, I would have done it gladly. PD & RF, what a pair?
If you understand what Richard Feynman said. You will understand his way of thinking. I love culture, so science too. He said only true and i check it in my life. That's they way it look's.
je le rejoins à Bruxelles le 13 janvier 1988, malheueusement, il fit son grand départ dans l'au-delà, le 23 janvier 1988, il nous quitta à l'âge de 70 printemps, si jeune et si beau, en sa vivacité, la sagacité de son esprit perçant les secrets de l'univers
Philippe Richard Feynman, est un prophète de l'enseignement en la matière des sciences précises, il fût le professeur le plus génial de tous les temps, moi, le Marocain, situé dans l'autre bout du monde, à Novosibirsk, ou à Moscow, ou à Paris ou à Orléans, j'interceptai ses messages sublimes.

This comment has received too many negative votesshow
What is wrong with this guy? He does not treat others with equal respect. What an ego. Talk about appeal to authority? His authority. He was asked to explain magnetism a while back and said he did,,, but he did not! When someone says that there is only x number of people in the world that understand a thing then be on your guard … they probably do not understand it. Nature is simple if you can see it. I can't determine where the facts end and the bull begins with this fellow.
@blax18js Nature may be simple but our representations are not. Take GR for example: the idea is simple and very clear to any layperson but the mathematics of differential geometry and tensor calculus in 4 - space is not nearly as simple as the concept. What he is saying is if you don't like the mathematical representations then gtfo (not meant at you).
@blax18js "When someone says that there is only x number of people in the world that understand a thing then be on your guard"
I'd rather trust the truth to ten geniuses who spent their lives trying to figure out how the universe worked than a Billion ignorant people who claim to know the truth without even working to uncover it.
Mindsets like yours would have us still scrabbling around in caves thinking deadly viruses were caused by God's wrath.
The saddest thing is that I like the majority of the people in this world will never fully appreciate his genius and the contributions he left behind but at least I am educated enough to know that this man deserves my highest respect. Such a humble human being but so brilliant - then perhaps when you are wrestling with the most complex puzzles know to man modesty is a necessary survival mechanism against the great tirade of criticism that wafts over from the peanut gallery.
Feynman seemed to be one of those people who you could just look at, listen to or read- not knowin a single thing about him, or what he did- and be sure he was destined for greatness.
@theOGslagster127 Heh, of course you realize that your lunch would then necessarily consist of drinking soup through a straw; but, yeah, I hear you, to be able to have spent time with Feynman would've been a dream come true.
art of memory written who know nor euclids geometry book
i hope they succeed at hydron collider and prove e is not equal to mc2
i bet he would be playing bongo as he did after the success of the atomicbomb as he tells at manhattan project video.i bet he never interested in how us involved he war ,what was federal reserves about.he was a fascinating scientist a moral nihilist and great model they market to day for perception management
Don't like reality, nothing we can do about it, though there are other universes we can take you too, you first need to accept the reality of this one so we can manipulate its rules to take you to a universe where Gods and creators might exist. lol
Completely agree with feynman, he reminded me here of the creationists.
This is great. It's kinda like people who don't believe in evolution. Either you can find out about how reality is, or else go somewhere else. Good luck with that.
tbh, my physics teacher tells me that it is impoaaible to PROVe anything (calm down im not denying anything). But as long as it works its OK. but if people seriously think that in 1000 or maybe even a hunder or maybe even ten years time that any of this will be relevant. wel... what are the chances?
What we know so far works. so lets just go with it.
That's correct. We can't "prove" anything in science. However, we can show things to be consistent with experiments. It may not be correct, but it get's the job done. In a few decades, it may not be good enough to get the job done, but it will still be a good approximation. Scientists call their ideas "theories", but that is the best that they can do. These "theories" are responsible for your computers and electronics. So:
science should REMAIN objective is all i'm saying. But seriously, why are you being so aggressive. I quite clearly haven't taken any kind of stance here but you seem to think i have.
Besides, in what way do i "not like it". In fact i believe i said
"What we know so far works. so lets just go with it. "
are you trying to start an argument? (i apologise if this seems aggressive i just dont really get how what i said offended you)
si no aceptas lo que ves, cuando mires a la naturaleza, vete a otro lado. Buscate otro universo. No puedo simplificar lo que aparece frente a mi. Si no te gusta, mala suerte.
@strange6 Right on the money, reading his books and the biography Genius helped me get psyched to study chemistry a few years back. I ended up loving p-chem...
Feynman was just telling the obvious truth!that's why he was an amazing teacher and a great inspirer and that's why his restless spirit continues to have such a great influence to people!

search youtube for "Feynman Character of Physical Law"
you will find a seven hour long lectures by Richard Feynman on physical laws and the characteristics they seem to share. Working versions of each lecture are also located on my favorites page. I recommend them highly.

@MrGrevy I am pretty sure i never said that thanks for the assumption though! Assumptions are fun aren't they? i mean think of all the good that can come from them, all the hatred rage and racism, which i could take a blind leap and assume you support but i wont. Why? because i am sure you are a good person and just a little bit brash with your assumptions. Please don't infer with such little information as you will get false results. I would never wish any one to "STFU" but be adult. please.

One simple thing this (otherwise really clever ) man, is that you can't help people by denegating them. His speech there sounds like a rant, it lacks empathy, it proposes no solution to help these recalcitrant minds to understand.

You're wrong. It's like asking every single human to reinvent the wheel the first time they must use a car or a bicycle... It's best to learn it from someone who already know and is willing to explain.
You don't educate people trough mockery.
chibraxial 7 months ago
@chibraxial Well, in fact, don't take it personally. I'm pretty sure Feynman is talking about some issues about philosophers or Quantum mechanics (like "God does not play dice") or his renormalization scheme.
His theory works, and he can tell people how to perform some integrals. But, If you're not happy with it, you can say that it's a little messy and complicated, so then go somewhere else in another universe, because in this universe, it works. I think this is what he meant.

"go...Universe" RF had guts. He was invited to see CERN Particle Accelerator. "How much did it cost" he asked: "and what does it do?" "$650 m" came the answer: 'hopefully it shall prove your theory?" "my, why didn't you believe me?" he said: "you could have saved all that money." "Sir, we believed you." said the man: "that is why we have built it to make others believe.." If I could have given my life to extend his, I would have done it gladly. PD & RF, what a pair?

What is wrong with this guy? He does not treat others with equal respect. What an ego. Talk about appeal to authority? His authority. He was asked to explain magnetism a while back and said he did,,, but he did not! When someone says that there is only x number of people in the world that understand a thing then be on your guard … they probably do not understand it. Nature is simple if you can see it. I can't determine where the facts end and the bull begins with this fellow.
blax18js 11 months ago
@blax18js Nature may be simple but our representations are not. Take GR for example: the idea is simple and very clear to any layperson but the mathematics of differential geometry and tensor calculus in 4 - space is not nearly as simple as the concept. What he is saying is if you don't like the mathematical representations then gtfo (not meant at you).

Don't like reality, nothing we can do about it, though there are other universes we can take you too, you first need to accept the reality of this one so we can manipulate its rules to take you to a universe where Gods and creators might exist. lol

But as long as it works its OK. but if people seriously think that in 1000 or maybe even a hunder or maybe even ten years time that any of this will be relevant. wel... what are the chances?
What we know so far works. so lets just go with it.
skeptic54 1 year ago 4
That's correct. We can't "prove" anything in science. However, we can show things to be consistent with experiments. It may not be correct, but it get's the job done. In a few decades, it may not be good enough to get the job done, but it will still be a good approximation. Scientists call their ideas "theories", but that is the best that they can do. These "theories" are responsible for your computers and electronics. So:
"You don't like it? Go somewhere else."
