BBC interview with Feynman (uncertainty)

I might think about it a little bit and if I can't figure
it out, then I go on to something else, but I don't
have to know an answer, I don't feel frightened by
not knowing things, by being lost in a mysterious
Universe without having any purpose, which is the
way it really is so far as I can tell. It doesn't frighten
me.

Every time I think I'm some kind of smart ass bad ass hot shot - and my ego gets to my head - I see one of these interviews and it reminds me of what a piece of shit I truly am - Feynman was such a genius yet he was so humble and kind and it makes me embarrassed of being how I am - what a legend - I honor this man.

I have no heroes but there are two men i hold in higher regard that any others Richard Feynman and Christopher Hitchens

Could the uncertainty of everyday life be formed by Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle ∆×∆p×≥h/4π of QM?

Based on just two postulates:

1 The quantum w-particle function Ψ or probability function represents the forward passage of time itself with the future unfolding photon by photon.

2 Is that quantum uncertainty that is formed by the w-function is the same uncertainty we have with any future event within our own ref-frame that we can interact with turning the possible into the actual

Intelligent people can disagree without even insulting someone.

I don't care for Hitchens. He was too st00pid to stay alive. His wonderful "science" didn't help. He's in the "between-life" right now (which is neither reward nor punishment) partying with Jeff Conaway

Religion is the elephant and the blind men; no matter whose opinion you subscribe to, it's still only part of the elephant. We can only hope we get to see the entire elephant after death, but maybe not. And if not, so what?

SCIENTIFIC CONSCIENCE

I have none either. I'd say that I'd have gotten along very well with Feynman. If only he were my quantum mechanics prof !

Real Men (like Feynman) aren't afraid of the dark.
