Feynman: 'The Quest for Tannu Tuva" Part Four of Five

Continuing the story of physicist Richard Feynman's fascination with the remote Asian country of Tannu Tuva, and his efforts to go there with his great friend and drumming partner Ralph Leighton (co-author of the classic 'Surely You're Joking, Mr Feynman'). Feynman was dying of cancer when this was filmed, and died a few weeks after the filming. This is Part Four of five. Originally shown in the BBC TV science series 'Horizon' in 1988, and also shown in the USA on PBS 'Nova' under the title 'Last Journey of a Genius'

@SisK0211 The question you're looking for is: "What's wrong with everyone else?"

@fegolem i was born two years after his death. Yet I miss him too for some odd reason lol.

This clip captures a piece of history, characterizing the nature of PR in a public agency. I feel it’s worth sharing because it contains a nice algorithm for deciding what challenges one ought to take on, i.e. “what will be the impact of one’s participation?”

Christopher can I ask where these videos come from?

[AarghGrr]

That trend has started. check out Huun-Huur-Tu. A Tuvan group who've toured widely (Tuva isn't so cut off these days).
