Richard Feynman - The Pleasure Of Finding Things Out

Join me on facebook http://www.facebook.com/pages/TheScie...

The Pleasure of Finding Things Out was filmed in 1981 and will delight and inspire anyone who would like to share something of the joys of scientific discovery. Feynman is a master storyteller, and his tales -- about childhood, Los Alamos, or how he won a Nobel Prize -- are a vivid and entertaining insight into the mind of a great scientist at work and play.

In this candid interview Feynman touches on a wide array of topics from the beauty of nature to particle physics. He explains things that are hard to grasp in layman's terms much like Carl Sagan did in the cosmos series. His explanation of the scientific method covers what we know, why we know it and most importantly, what we don't know and the pleasure of figuring it out.

Professor Sir Harry Kroto, Nobel Prize for Chemistry said "The 1981 Feynman Horizon is the best science program I have ever seen. This is not just my opinion -- it is also the opinion of many of the best scientists that I know who have seen the program... It should be mandatory viewing for all students whether they be science or arts students."

Happy birthday Dr.Feynman! The world of physics still benefits from your extraordinary thinking and imaginary power, I just thought you'd like to know :)

How the fuck does anyone thumb-down a video like this!?

21:00 is very good explanation of how one should operate!

I'm sorry guys, about this previous comment. I was hacked. I never write in all caps, and I did not write this.

It's embarrassing to have this next to my name.

48:22 <----This is what makes Feynman my idol. I understands that even if you are certain about something, you could be wrong about something about it. But yet he(or anyone else) is not absolutely sure about anything.

The religious lol

[Wesley Hoyer]

One word: Theists

[233kosta]

Creationists. Creationists EVERYWHERE

He was one of the smartest men to walk this earth, Just listen to how he answers questions, He pauses thinks, then answers, But it's how he answers the question, He doesn't boost or brags about himself, He didn't want any honors or awards, he just loved physics. He did it because it's what he loved and he had a mind that could understand it,
