I remember the first time I had heard Feynman explain the greater appreciation of a flower and nearly falling out of my chair as I had used that same analogy long before hearing it from him. My concept was slightly different tho; about how a rose is not just beautiful and smells nice - but which is very much related to me, bringing me ever closer to nature. ...And that was only akin to something like a "1st grade thought" for him!
He's since infected his fascination of particles upon me.
Feynman is just awesome in every way! He was brilliant, he was funny, he was a bit of a player, he knew how to party, he played in a street band, he was a fun writer, and most importantly, he is an inspiration.
I remember as a child my dad used to explain scientific things to me, my dad was just a plumber but he had a very good understanding of physics. he used to explain things like how a train works, or how a volcano works but one thing he got wrong was e=mc2 for some reason he thought this was newtons theory of relativity only recently was I able to explain to him what this really means (and now I can explain it even further thanks to your recent video on the subject)
I was inspired to 'google' more n more on science facts because of fineman's (sic.) quote - " knowing the name of something is not the same as knowing something"
He is one of my favourite scientists too - mostly because he was asked if we understood x and he went away and came back and said "I cannot write a first year graduate lecture on this so no we do not understand it fully"
@threethreetwothree33 Depending on how you define murder that may make no sense.

"Surely you're joking, Mr Feynman!" - greatest book ever, no exceptions.

en mi tesis de maestria le hice una dedicatoria, tremendo Homo sapiens Mr. Feynman!

Feynman has always been my most loved scientist. I still feel a bit depressed just knowing we've lost such an incredible scientist.

Not just a brilliant scientist, but a warm and wonderful human being, also. I wish I had met him.

Beauty isn't skin deep. It is good to know the inner as well as the outer.
