TEDxCaltech - Leonard Susskind - Richard Feynman

Leonard Susskind is the Felix Bloch Professor of Physics at Stanford University.  His research interests include string theory, quantum field theory, quantum statistical mechanics, and quantum cosmology. He is a member of the National Academy of Sciences and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and, since 2009, has been serving as Director of the Stanford Institute for Theoretical Physics.

About TEDx, x = independently organized event: In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized. (Subject to certain rules and regulations.)

On January 14, 2011, Caltech hosted TEDxCaltech, an exciting one-day event to honor Richard Feynman, Nobel Laureate, Caltech physics professor, iconoclast, visionary, and all-around "curious character." Visit TEDxCaltech.com for more details.

That was quite possibly the greatest opening to any talk on anything ever.

@andyrooney12 I hear you. I love and respect Richard Feynman for his amazing insights, for his deep curiosity, for his ability communicate complicated ideas simply, and for his awesome nipple flash videos. He was the complete package.

Let's be honest...that's one of the reasons why people LOVE & RESPECT Richard Feynman. He was a highly intelligent man who worked hard & did a lot for humanity but he never allowed his status to distance him from ordinary people. I honestly believe that if someone works their life to do for people as much as Feynman did, they deserve to enjoy all of the partying and crazy things that Feynman has been reported to have enjoyed :)
