I would love for you to review The Secret Room! It's available at Amazon.com. I think this writer, Stefanie Oberhansley has the ability to make a plain story into a gut wrenching story! The second part of the mini series next month!!! THE SECRET ROOM is mystery/ paranormal and I can't wait for the second part to be released! The author also has a blog ;)
Great review. I've been rereading this book again lately, and it just reminds me of what an amazing kind of mind Feynman's was. I'd recommend the follow-up, "What Do You Care What Other People Think?" as well. It's not as funny, it has more sad stories, and half of it is devoted to the Challenger investigation, but it's still fascinating to see how he thought, especially in the investigation. And it concludes with an amazing speech he gave.
@LeeTheAgent I'll check it out. Even though the Challenger investigation included some very dark days, it will be good to revisit a time when we still had a robust space program. Thanks....
Its really not the government, its manly the scientific establishment that tries to control or really to influence what you research. I have friends that are doing there graduate research in physics and they even know what im talking about, im doing mine in physical chemistry. We need to destroy the hierarchy system that plagues every field of the sciences. I have no problem with people who try to solve the so called "unimportant" questions or people that aren't into the sciences at all.
"I think we're loosing our curiosity as a society - people just accept what's put in front of them". That's honestly one of the most profound quotes i've heard. I'm 19 and you've put into words what i have been thinking about a lot recently. I'm growing frustrated, even disgusted at how complacent people (mostly youth) are becoming. It's the same here in Britain. People just refuse to look at the bigger picture and it's a tragedy of human potential.
@Kempter1 You have to be the instrument of change my friend... rattle some cages, jerk a few chains. Make those who would feed us unsubstantiated, pseudo-intellectual pablum squirm in your presence...
At 6:12 I am reminded of Al-Kindi (~900AD) "It is fitting then for us not to be ashamed to acknowledge and assimilate [scientific knowledge] from whatever source it comes to us. For him who scales the truth, there is nothing of higher value than the truth itself - it never cheapens nor abases him."

I find quantum physics very interesting and all other subjects on extreme physics. Sadly I am not very good in math. The subject has got me so intrigue that I am once again going back to the things I learned in school and learning mathematics trying learn as much as I can. It is almost like I have found my purpose in life, and that is trying to make sense of what is reality. Words can not describe my love for the subject. It is like nothing I have ever experienced,
@tangnatalaga I wish you the best as you pursue your new found passion... and let me know if you ever figure out the time travel thing. I'd be a willing test subject. ;-)
@tangnatalaga I've never come across anybody in my life willing to learn math, that also said they were not good at math, and did not eventually learn that they are much better at math than they thought. All it takes is learning the subject matter (all the rules, notations, etc) and getting into the right mindset. I suggest that if you are this eager to learn, the right mindset is within you already and you just need to let it out.
I have always wanted truth more than being right, therefore, I find that when I get truth, and try to share it, I get rolled eyes, and eventually anger, from my family. thinking I want to be right. I could care less about being right all the time, I simply wished to share something I have found. Over the years I learned to be quiet and not tell anyone what I think, until now. I'm 63 yesterday, and now they can all "Bite Me" If some want to be "Rock Heads" so be it, but I will have my views too.
@ockteby I can't wait to get my copy of his book. I can tell I will love it. Your right about age having privilages. Life really is too short to waste time on fighting, I would much rather laugh with a good book.
Thank you both for a great lighthearted video. Bless, Sheila
Another lesson his book taught me is the story about attending a physics convention in Tokyo right after the war. Unlike all the others going, he decided that he wanted to *be* Japanese when he was there. He went to the effort of learning as much Japanese as he could in a short time. When he and his colleague got there he demanded to be put up in a real Japanese hotel rather then the American transplant. ...
... His hosts took him there, and he said he got a whole lot more out of interacting with the Japanese than he got out of the convention. There's some tales about the lack of nudity taboo within the hotel that are great reading.
Perhaps I'm just a incurable romantic, but the story that stuck with me was the story about his first wife. He married her before moving off to Los Alamos. He become totally absorbed by the work, and she was hospitalized for tuberculosis in Santa Fe and died early in 1945, thankfully with Feynman in attendance. He sent her body to her parent's home by rail, and when asked about it, upon returning to LA, he simply said "She's dead. How's it going?" ...
... Then one day after Trinity he was walking in Oak Ridge and saw a dress on a mannikin in a window, and started crying. The combined effects of that with remorse over the bomb's effects sent him into a depression for a time.

@gavbag1234 I don't know if you have any children, but all do not ask questions.

Ultimately it's on Melvin and I.
"The curiosity and i don't know if you can teach that"..."Its absolutely passed on in a teaching fashion, there's no question about that" contradiction much?

@theOGslagster127 Poland dude... really. They're climbing out of a cold war commie funk and they luvs 'em some Americanese... give 'em some anecdotes about you and Marie Curie... it's all good bruh!!
it's a wonder 25 people have disliked this video. I honestly cannot come up with one valid reason to dislike this video. It's one thing to not understand the subject matter, but is creationists, or what that truly despise the search for reality?
@rounder421 The people who don't like it are probably not even curious enough to try to understand why they don't. Introspection my friend, always introspection....
@rounder421 i guess 25 people follow what one would expect from most people, that if they don't understand something, they don't like it. This two gentlemen had an intelligent discussion about a good book and 25 people don't understand intelligence.
I read this book several years ago and I completely agree with your observations about the general lack of interest and curiosity in understanding how things really work. Part of the irony in that is that access to information is so much more available now than it has ever been before.
This was a great review! I love Richard Feynman he actually sparked up my interest in science back to life when I kind of lost for a while. I´m gonna that book...
@TZMRevolution He wasn't saying that in some absolute Crickian deoxyribonucleic way, but rather as a very generic "brain is wired that way" description. I understood his point perfectly well.
@zerobeat18 I usually defend my own statements with regard to our little impromptu review but you have done so in a superbly concise way and there is no need for further comment.... thanks.
This book has slowly made me stay up later and later at night reading and trying to crush sugar cubes with pliers in order to observe triboluminescence. I can't go to bed until 7am now.
I'll have to pick this up! :D THIS is what interests me...not facebook, not twitter, not what Paris Hilton is up to, not what's in season this fall.. I only wish a larger group of youth would be interested in things beyond their on sphere of understanding. My school teachers were never able to inspire me or communicate with me in a way that made sense. I was saddened that I could not understand so went seeking myself and came across scientists like Feynamn and Sagan. They made science fun :)
@starsolace Seek the truth, follow your heart and always remember... most people in positions of power and authority are trying to manipulate you in some way!
Hello again. It's Bigglesbury getting back to to you to say thanks for your speedy reply. I think that your politician comment is dead right too.
Some stuff you might like to look up to explain human behaviour - Milgram experiments, Zimbardo prison experiment, Blue eyes Brown eyes experiment, conformity experiments. These explain a lot to do with why the truth isn't always what gets accepted as the truth. Humans are strange things - NOT US OF COURSE WE'RE ALWAYS RIGHT!
I'm looking forward to reading it. Thanks for your video and to Ron for those words of wisdom on the truth being what to look for. Winning an argument with anything less feels like missing the point to me.
@Bigglesbury Thanks!... It's amazing how many people don't understand the difference between wanting to know the truth and wanting to be right... unfortunately, a great many of them are politicians...
Richard Feynman is a legend and I can't wait to get this book! Personally I've always wondered how knitting was invented. Weaving I can kind of understand but who sat around with two sticks and some yarn and invented knitting??? It's bothered me since I was a teenager so any suggestions are welcome.
@ockteby i love your statement " because feynman wants to really no the truth whereas people just want 2 b right,u couldnt of said it better,u really do get RF,its so sad hes gone,he was as fresh as fresh air can be,no bullshit no misconceptions of superiority.jus the truth as he knew best! if he was wrong so beit,at least he believed in the reason why he might of thought he was right,but 99% of the time he was never wrong which is extraordinary considering what he was talking about.
Certainly one of the best books I've ever read. Not only was he a great scientist, he was a fantastic and original human being and a superb story-teller!
haha, now that I heard about the ant story I've got to get the book! Also knowing how they make seemless aluminum cans would be interesting. Great review and conversation about the book. Thanks.
@Rellics We've had lots of comments like yours... we believe the book was actually out of print when we did the video. It seems to have made a comeback.... hopefully we contributed to the revival...
I read this book a few years ago and I fell in love with it. Now I know thed answer to that question, "Who would you like to meet (Living or dead)?" I am so thankful that so much of his words and ideas were put on video and in paper. It's almost like you get to know him. Thanks for the review!
I have a book called 'hidden worlds' (hunting for quarks in ordinary matter) Timothy Smith. Which is another interesting read for those curious of fundamenal particles (quarks) within atoms and the history of how it was discovered without actually being able to detect it.
Many people are curious but I think some are afraid to think about it or consider life as a routine without actually questioning it's orginin or purpose. What we perceive is a translation of the alien world.
"he was one of the instrumental people in opening physics to being an acceptable profession"
lol what. this could not be further than the truth. Feynman was a great man and physicist, but in the history of physics and mathematics he's no greater than any other physicist. For thousands of years before him people have been making great contributions to the understanding of the world. I'm sorry but this introduction is pretty much bullshit.
@notToast (1 of 4) I suppose I should have used air quotes to emphasize my tongue-in-cheek statement about Feynman making physics an "acceptable profession". After all, it was in reference to my point of view, not the careers and countless discoveries of the many brilliant men and women who have dedicated their lives in search of a better understanding of our universe. It was meant to convey a feeling of how a less intellectually gifted person such as myself, sitting in a car, wearing a ball cap
@notToast (2 of 4) making a YouTube video, could now consider the study of physics an acceptable profession right there alongside plumbing and piece work down at the plant because he allowed me to relate comfortably to a Nobel Prize winner. I was speaking to the stereotypical perception of the pocket protected scientist, bespectacled with Coke bottle bottoms who appears unapproachable and interested only in lofty mental machinations (see The Big Bang Theory on CBS... they seem to have spread the
@skyzalimt understood. I kinda dislike the reference to the big bang theory because it's a retarded show and the characters are terrible, but ok, I see your point.
@notToast (3 of 4) various affectations of the steroetype equally among the three major stars of the show) and how Feynman, had he lived long enough, might have changed that perception for millions of people... he would have been a huge star on the Discovery Channnel... he comes off as a guy you can have a beer with.
You see, for those of us who are more at ease splitting logs than atoms, the feeling that the usual barriers of culture and education can be bridged through the common touch of an
@notToast (4 of 4) uncommon man helps us believe we may have some thread that runs true in both our DNA strains. We probably don't but that's what makes Feynman so compelling... from frenetic bongo playing to casual interaction with a blue collar locksmith, Feynman closed, a little bit, that great divide between the stuffy, erudite, intellectual elitists, probably not unlike yourself, and a guy like me who can barely spell physicist.
@skyzalimt thanks for taking your time to reply, i dont have anything to add to the conversation besides let you know that obviously i agree about feynman's reach to non-physicists. the comment i quoted shouldn't have been taken literally, I guess. good night
@notToast Yeah, their intro is a little off, but your comment is a little off too. Feynman is definitely one of the top 20 physicists to ever live, so calling him no greater than any other is ridiculous. It's also true that when Feynman first got his PhD, almost nobody knew what a Physicist was, so it's at the very least true that he became a physicist at the time when it was unknown. I'd say it's a little off only because 'acceptable' is the wrong word, and he's really a few years later.
Richard Feynman is a truly great man. I love the passion he has. He can't even talk about science without grinning his ass off. I wish more people shared his enthusiasm.
I'm part way through reading that book for the first time right now. My favorite part so far has been about him volunteering for the hypnosis demonstration.
@deedubya286 all the stories about him picking locks, opening safes and making it out like he was a genius safe cracker was my fave bits. only about 80 pages left tonight.
I've been wide-eyed and grinning all day watching Feynman interviews on Youtube. My child has this innate curiosity, and I I'm gonna do my best to encourage and supplement it! I'm off to go pick this book up, now!
At University I teach a course on "Philosophy of Science" for philosophers and physicists. My first lecture always includes a reading of the Chapter "Is Electricity Fire" from this Feynman book.
I hate to break it to you but Feynman was wrong on flying saucers. Mathmatically they have to be extremely likely, given almost infinite space, an incalculatable amount of stars, and 16 billion years. Statistically speaking, it would have to be an act of God for us to be the only living creatures, and given our location relative to ground zero in the big bang, we're likely the least evolved of most of them.
@FairMindedWatcher Feynman merely said that it was unlikely that flying saucers are visiting us. Decades later there's still zero proof, and even more evidence to the contrary. This has nothing to do with whether or not there could be a space-faring sentient species existing in some part of the universe. That's a very different discussion, based on statistics only but not based on one iota of evidence that it might be true.
"He fixes radios by thinking!" Love Feynman. Read this book (along with "Why Should You Care What Other People Think"...another great Feynman book) a few summers ago at the beach. What a brilliant mind with a personality to match.
@superwowie111 There's no conflict in these two statements. The combination of an innate sense of curiosity with lots of encouraging and mentoring (by dad mostly) is what allowed the mind of Richard Feynman to flourish.
And that "innate sense" which is sometimes colloquially attributed to "genes" or "brain wired that way" COULD also really be all nurture... but stuff less obviously linked with the way we turn out. What if a certain choice of baby toy led to some permanence of character?
Before i read this book i was a lierature oriented person, who hated science, now i love it, more than almost anything in this world. I understood why Science its interesting, and i killed the prejudice that its too complicated and boring.
As much respect as scientist and science itself deserves (at leats from me) I have a question and maybe some of you could answer it: Did Feynman ever have any moral conflicts regarding the atomic bomb? If not, what was the reason for such a genious not to feel a brutal contradiccion between the beauty of science and the horrors of an atomic bomb? I'm sure he spoke about it.
Just curious....why in the car? Did you just come from a book signing? Anyway, great video on a great subject. Thanks again. Both of you very enjoyable and highly intelligent characters. It is a genuine pleasure hearing your considered opinions on things.
@JetMechMA An auto is a perfect place to do a YouTube video with privacy and acoustics. Ron had just finished reading the book, and we were having coffee at Mickey D's across the street. I had my video camera in the glove box, and when we started talking about this book I pulled it out and started videoing. I had read the book years before, and I was positive Ron with his background would enjoy it as much as I did. We have no connection with this book other than being a reader and a fan
I'm a 61-year-old woman who took bonehead math and science in high school, but for some reason have gotten interested in science in my declining years. Richard Feynman has a lot to do with it. If he'd been my teacher in high school, I'd have majored in science and gone on to college.
@someoldbag many teachers should not teach at all. Because they are killing curiosity. I just finish my polytechnic and teacher of physics do not even mention the Feynman, Newton, etc. He was fascinated by maxell and Schrödinger.
you know what's cool about this video? OK, so these two guys are sitting in a car filming themselves, reviewing a book. And you probably didn't even think about how strange that was. Like Feynman said you would, you're just eeeaaating it up, lol jk, but seriously, wtf are these guys doing sitting in a car reviewing a book?
I read the book and I was overwhelmed, and I was laughing so hard I had tears in my eyes. It's good to see someone put a review about the book on youtube. Thanks, guys, good idea. The book surely deserves some publicity.
Thanks for the tip on this book, Im now 50 pages in, and the life of this guy is just incredible. Really a great inspiration and the book is pretty funny at places too.
I haven't scanned all 176 comments to date, but, in case it hasn't been mentioned, there's also a follow-up book called "What Do You Care What Other People Think?". As well as more vignettes, it includes the tragic story of Feynman's first love (and wife) and Feynman's behind-the-scenes account of his involvement in the Challenger disaster enquiry.
I luv that book it was so funny and interesting. My fav part is when he gets interviewed by a military psychoanalyst who certifies him as a security risk, due to his scientifically honest answers - that were misconstrued as delusional. Lol
I remember briefly hearing about Feynman from the book: Tuva or Bust... About 10 years later I stumbled upon "...Must Be Joking". I can't believe how overlooked his life story is! Even with books, articles, interviews and a full feature movie: "Infinity" and the best explanation of QED I have seen so far...
I keep expecting his fame and status to burst like a Super Nova. I enjoyed his many books... He was just a man. I never met him in person, but, when I was reading about his imminent death from cancer and final demise in "Feynman's Rainbow"... I wept uncontrollably. "We love you Richard" hanging from a building at Caltech does not seem out of place to me, nor does the feeling of wanting to kick himself from a guy that missed hearing Feynman speak in favor of staying in to study.
Well, you got me interested, so I guess you're good at it. But then, Feynman was, as Ron said, the kind of intellect we want more of on this planet. Thanks for a nice video that made me smile a lot :) :)
Feynman was absolutely brilliant. I recommend people to watch the interview series of him on youtube. He tells some of the stories these guys just told in it.
Search "Richard Feynman Horizon BBC" and you'll probably find it. The videos are incredible.
This video is brilliant, I already own the book and I'd like to thank you guys for such a good and inciteful review. You are damn right about the search for truth and the importance of curiosity, however I dont think it is something that can be taught but I do think it is learned.
It goes further. Students are too often taught not to think. Creativity and critical thought were systematically punished when I was in school. But some of us kids remained curious, creative, and critical despite the best efforts of most of our school teachers.
Conformity is an educational expediency that has become increasingly necessary with larger class sizes and the new focus of teaching to the standards of "no child left behind" (ie all children are entitled to the same thoughtless crap).
Ockteby is a creationist, but I would have never argued with Feynman. I laughed when I saw your comment, because first glance could lead you down that road. I hope you are curious enough to read the book. And thanks for the comment. :-)

I have a book called 'hidden worlds' (hunting for quarks in ordinary matter) Timothy Smith. Which is another interesting read for those curious of fundamenal particles (quarks) within atoms and the history of how it was discovered without actually being able to detect it.
Many people are curious but I think some are afraid to think about it or consider life as a routine without actually questioning it's orginin or purpose. What we perceive is a translation of the alien world.

"he was one of the instrumental people in opening physics to being an acceptable profession"
lol what. this could not be further than the truth. Feynman was a great man and physicist, but in the history of physics and mathematics he's no greater than any other physicist. For thousands of years before him people have been making great contributions to the understanding of the world. I'm sorry but this introduction is pretty much bullshit.
notToast 1 year ago
@notToast (1 of 4) I suppose I should have used air quotes to emphasize my tongue-in-cheek statement about Feynman making physics an "acceptable profession". After all, it was in reference to my point of view, not the careers and countless discoveries of the many brilliant men and women who have dedicated their lives in search of a better understanding of our universe. It was meant to convey a feeling of how a less intellectually gifted person such as myself, sitting in a car, wearing a ball cap

@notToast (4 of 4) uncommon man helps us believe we may have some thread that runs true in both our DNA strains. We probably don't but that's what makes Feynman so compelling... from frenetic bongo playing to casual interaction with a blue collar locksmith, Feynman closed, a little bit, that great divide between the stuffy, erudite, intellectual elitists, probably not unlike yourself, and a guy like me who can barely spell physicist.

notToast 1 year ago
@notToast Yeah, their intro is a little off, but your comment is a little off too. Feynman is definitely one of the top 20 physicists to ever live, so calling him no greater than any other is ridiculous. It's also true that when Feynman first got his PhD, almost nobody knew what a Physicist was, so it's at the very least true that he became a physicist at the time when it was unknown. I'd say it's a little off only because 'acceptable' is the wrong word, and he's really a few years later.

I hate to break it to you but Feynman was wrong on flying saucers. Mathmatically they have to be extremely likely, given almost infinite space, an incalculatable amount of stars, and 16 billion years. Statistically speaking, it would have to be an act of God for us to be the only living creatures, and given our location relative to ground zero in the big bang, we're likely the least evolved of most of them.
FairMindedWatcher 1 year ago
@FairMindedWatcher Feynman merely said that it was unlikely that flying saucers are visiting us. Decades later there's still zero proof, and even more evidence to the contrary. This has nothing to do with whether or not there could be a space-faring sentient species existing in some part of the universe. That's a very different discussion, based on statistics only but not based on one iota of evidence that it might be true.

@superwowie111 There's no conflict in these two statements. The combination of an innate sense of curiosity with lots of encouraging and mentoring (by dad mostly) is what allowed the mind of Richard Feynman to flourish.
And that "innate sense" which is sometimes colloquially attributed to "genes" or "brain wired that way" COULD also really be all nurture... but stuff less obviously linked with the way we turn out. What if a certain choice of baby toy led to some permanence of character?

As much respect as scientist and science itself deserves (at leats from me) I have a question and maybe some of you could answer it: Did Feynman ever have any moral conflicts regarding the atomic bomb? If not, what was the reason for such a genious not to feel a brutal contradiccion between the beauty of science and the horrors of an atomic bomb? I'm sure he spoke about it.

I keep expecting his fame and status to burst like a Super Nova. I enjoyed his many books... He was just a man. I never met him in person, but, when I was reading about his imminent death from cancer and final demise in "Feynman's Rainbow"... I wept uncontrollably. "We love you Richard" hanging from a building at Caltech does not seem out of place to me, nor does the feeling of wanting to kick himself from a guy that missed hearing Feynman speak in favor of staying in to study.

It goes further. Students are too often taught not to think. Creativity and critical thought were systematically punished when I was in school. But some of us kids remained curious, creative, and critical despite the best efforts of most of our school teachers.
Conformity is an educational expediency that has become increasingly necessary with larger class sizes and the new focus of teaching to the standards of "no child left behind" (ie all children are entitled to the same thoughtless crap).
