Feynman 'Fun to Imagine' 7: The Train

Woahhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

(of course, he didn't figure it out, he's just repeating something that some genius figured out)

(the main genius is that he is capable of explaining this so simply -he is a great teacher)

Awesome!

Fascinating! This is such a great illustration of elegance and simplicity in engineering.

My grandfather worked on railroads all his life, died in 1966 at age 79. He probably never knew this about trains.

wow....most frats only require that you go through months of constant alcohol consumption, kidnappings, and wild stunts topped off by a week of sitting in a pile of your own waste, without sleep, with 30 other guys who will turn out to be your closest buddies. MIT's a little different I guess.

judging by the rest of the comments on this page, this comment is going to either have many thumbs up or many thumbs down.

unless im gay

I love the fact that Feynman was so excited about seemingly the most mundane of things. He really had a wonderful mind, and one that we were blessed to have with us while he was alive. R.I.P.

you learn something new everyday, fun fun

high speed rail cant be like that too?!
