EVERYONE JUST STFU AND DO PHYSICS -___-

[prahaladkrao]

i listen to this video several times a week ...whenever I think that someone is behaving a little pompous, or I realize I have been acting childish....this video sets me right...

concentrate on the process, and the joy of the work and the findings....

@karmajud I wonder how come that Swedish academy of science cannot contribute anything to the science, but they can say who is a good scientist who is not?? What we know today as Science, is the result of works of millions of scientists through ages and not only one scientist. Prizes are good only as Prize, but not to differentiate between scientists. You get a 1st in college and receive a prize, the other only guy gets merit, then he invents something and you can't. Now who is more illustrious?

[Maverickrad]

@karmajuda I think you are wrong. Nobel prize is not the way to show who is capable of what! Newton, Pascal, Galileo, Leibniz, Laplace, Decartes, Cardano, Avogadro, Kepler and most of the great scientists didn't win the Nobel Prize and yet everybody knows what they were capable of. Feynman is right, who are the Swedish academy to decide who is illustrious enough to win that or not? Look how many people undeservedly won that so called "Nobel Prize". Science and scientists are above Nobel Prizes!

[Th0usandMaster]

well, he used the prize money to buy house anyway, despite what he are saying...

[rahxephon52]

this man, has Real Eyes.

[BelieveNoGod]

He's right in most ways.

There are some sort of exlusivness about deciding who deserves a price, a membership etc.

F.ex. the Nobel price, there must have been many instances of ppl doing equally good work, as the pricewinners, wich are excluded.

@sidewaysfcs0718 lol you fear words and denotation

[poptya]

Anyone else get the feeling after watching alot of Feynmans videos that he may have been a partial Savant? His mannerisms are....odd, but he was clearly brilliant

[gen6k]

@sexyloser um he worked on the hiroshima project didnt he? youre a neocon shutup

[sexyloser]

@gen6k Who says they weren't doing that? What would you rather have? One effort to stop German atomic weapons or two?

[gen6k]

@sexyloser albert einstein said the same thing about the soviet union. feynman became a hippie at caltech so he obviously regretted it...theres always a third option. like gathering more intelligence and bombing their radioactive compound plants. instead of just clubbing it like a caveman
