[originxxx]

what does Feynman mean when he says (at 1:35+) "how clever she is to pay attention to it"?

[carlosjerez23]

He is personifying nature as female.

Where is the rest of this? I want my money back.

lol. I cannot upload. Otherwise you tube will close my account.

I think there was a part 3, where Feynman talks about a possible mechanism of gravity: space creating particles that fly in all directions and push objects towards each other. The more massive the bodies, the more particles would colide against them, resulting in a greater force. And the greater the space between them, more particles in opposite directions would tend to cancel out the forces. This makes perfect sense except that this theory leads to a unreal consquence which I cant remeber!

I will add part 3

@TheKturner05 I will not dignify your last comment with a reply. ;)

[TheKturner05]

@DexterHaven49 good job putting words in my mouth. I will not respond to your comment because you would probably fail to understand my meaning. perhaps you should read my last comment again.

[DexterHaven49]

@TheKturner05 The class agreed with me and attendance fell off continuously. To think his lecture style could not be improved upon is the "asinine" thought. You spelled it wrong too.

[TheKturner05]

@DexterHaven49 I thoroughly enjoy his lectures, as well as his side bars. All people are different and will take to things differently, too think there is a "correct" way that all people think is "better" is an asenine thought.

[DexterHaven49]

His lectures are boing and disappointing. He looks at his notes too often and gives too many asides about what his topic is and is not, rather than just focusing on it. F. Lee Bailey has a good video up on YouTube now on how to give a speech that I wish Feynman could have seen years ago. Memorize the damn speech This is not even complicated. In some speeches he has to check his notes after every two sentences. He didn't know how to prepare.

@originxxx not nature but gravity I think

[originxxx]

Awesome! every time I watch this! My favourite is the fun to imagine one about waves though! class..

[honeymonster147]

@originxxx hes saying that its more amazing that the rule of gravitation is followed perfectly rather than sloppily or with noise than it is that we can identify it

[theOGslagster127]

i believe in god

he way clever than you silly sciencers.

not in blacknwhite niver.

plus wen he maid the hevuns he maid thing ezy unnerstan - like:

u ten fikngers so he give ten things - just do them and he look after what left

but u just re-complikate shiv wi u igno-rants an shivvy in-jokes an chork bords.
