@Smorphine I don't understand why you need to contort that quote into some sexist remark.

It's a blessing to be fortunate to have someone that is both smart and can communicate on different levels. My Father was very knowledgeable of science, and math, etc. but he was not knowledgeable on teaching or explaining things to children...or to anyone really. The saying "Those who do, do and those who cant teach" was applicable to my father but not to someone like Richard Feynman. As a consequence i went to college for art and music and read "Six Easy Pieces" to relax at the end of the day.

@shredjoe1 The pang of yearning at the end of the video almost brought a tear to my eye.

Wow , hes all melting while talking about his father .He must have been a great man.

What I appreciate most from this great man is the ethusiasm that he put in everything he says!

@Smorphine no, but raising a nobel laureate son and being a major (perhaps pivotal) influence on that boy's desire to understand the universe does say a lot about Feynman's father, don't you think?

@twg20101 And if it's a woman, she'll be part of the cleaning staff? That doesn't say much about Feynman's father actually...

What was the book called?
How much that his father meant to Feynman is so obvious from this clip.

There you have it. How can you have a child like Feynman? (I know you all want to) Be a cool father like his was.
