Proof that knowledge makes life more joyous, more hopeful, more ineffably __beautiful__, than all those who claim "ignorance is bliss" can possibly imagine.

His explanation is beautiful in its simplicity. Kind of like the fundamental laws of nature. :)

Thanks.

Look at that view.

I am working while listening to this and I literally can't keep up with what he is saying. He speaks plainly but there is so much information in every syllable this needs my FULL attention to comprehend.

There's a BUNCH of Feynman audio around -- look for Los Alamos From Below and the audio of "Perfectly Reasonable Deviations from the Norm," --- letters, wonderfully read. Tuva Trader has Ralph Leighton's recordings of Feynman telling stories and both drumming together on 4 CDs (and you should read the books that came out of those sessions, "Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman," & "What Do You Care What Other People Think, whether you think you like to read or not!"

You and me both. I've started on Richard Feynman on Quantum Mechanics (Parts: 4). Sure would've loved to have had him as a lecturer.

i like watching all these casual Feynman interviews, but now i have ran out of them, will have to turn to his lectures to continue listening to him :/

Mouthwatering food for thought. What SeleNazzy said. God bless this man's mind and all that he has taught me about the pleasure of finding things out.

I think it was Dirac who originally used the chess metaphor.
