Physicist Richard Feynman thinks aloud about atoms and how they jiggle, and how we perceive that jiggling as 'hot' and 'cold'. From the BBC TV series 'Fun to Imagine'(1983). You can now watch higher quality versions of some of these episodes at www.bbc.co.uk/archive/feynman/

  • @Shuffle2dMax Curses, You win this time, but this isn't over

  • @lusteraliaszero Not bad, but I still have the argument since this is youtube and you have to round numbers for the general audience.

    Mine wasn't a mistake, it was just a simplification, a step ahead of your answer.

  • @Shuffle2dMax I'd listen to him 365.2564days/year

  • His "Los Alamos from Below" lecture is great, too!

  • @Gafaton I'd listen to him 24/7/4/12 or 24/365. Had to say it.

  • He once described the movement of a swan's neck in a way that was analogous to what we now know as nanotechnology.Blew my mind!

  • @me835 make sure they'll sleep with you later before buying em' drinks! otherwise get your money back!

  • Puts a smile on my face :D

  • Feynman is why i studied physics at university because I read his lectures on physics at high school. He had a way of explaining things that made it understandable. Now I'm a high school teacher. Every now and again I go back to Feynman for advice in how to explain things to children. I wish I could have met him, but i think I would have bored him

  • @Gafaton That should be 24/7/52 but yes I agree.
