Seriously, someone needs to teach Gell-Mann how to use powerpoint!!!

Chopra is an idiot Gell-Mann in under 16 minutes explained how we don't need something more to get something more

Would have loved seeing Murray Gell-Mann explain quantum physics to Deepak Chopra on stage.

@chromophore Since writing that comment, I must say that I retract it.
Gell-Mann is fantastic for his eight-fold way, his many unique insights and is certainly a hero of mine. Gell-Mann is a dynamic and outstanding character that really shouldn't be compared to Feynman directly, as they both are giants.

@fallingstarblues By comparing both of them you are living in a state of sin. No really. Feynman is Feynman and Gell-Mann is Gell-Mann.
