Captivating. It's also refreshing to hear someone present without every other word being "um", "er" or "like".
As a commerce student who left science long ago, this single video rekindled my interest in science again. Thank you!
Bless the uploader and YouTube for keeping these lectures alive for us all ❤
Although I know nothing of physics, I can unquestionably say that this lecture was magnificent. Thank you for posting this.
Well done on the subtitles. Such a rarity these days.
The perfect physics 101 introductory lecture. It is astounding that Feynman can communicate eloquently with everyone. It is notable that he was able to 'sneak in' cutting edge concepts and hints elucidating the mechanim of the Cavendish experiment. In what is meant to be the most straightforward line of inquiry he was able to somehow point out the fantastic in the mystery of any law.
Feynman believed he was going to a Spanish-speaking country in South America, so he started studying Spanish, but then when he was informed that he was going to Brazil he shifted to learn Portuguese. His visit is still remembered at my University. He tells in detail in Surely you're joking Mr. Feynman.
So eloquent. His teaching style and students engagement is legendary in the academic community.
Even with the relatively clear audio, I appreciate the subtitles. I can’t always make out what someone’s saying, so they certainly help. (don’t want to miss a word this guy is saying) Thank you.
I like that he calls the mass "the inertia coefficient". It reminds us that we don't really know what mass is - except to say that the more of it there is in an object, the more it tends to maintain its state of motion (what we call inertia).
I knew Feynman's book "The Nature of Physical Law", but now for the first time, after 50 years of a life in physics & astrophysics, I hear the great man live on youtube! Thank you for providing this historic video! I hope his other lectures have been saved , too, for posteriority.
This is the 1st time I've ever watched a Feynman lecture, and it was FANTASTIC..!! I'm a geek and love science and math, and appreciate intelligent people very much. I enjoy listening to documentaries while I work, and history of all kinds is my favorite topic..!! This is mixture al everything, a solution of wonderful entertainment, and a solution to the most perplexing of problems... What can I watch next, that will help me become a more enriched human and allow me the Learn while being paid to do something else..?? Dang,,, I love YT & my Job..!!
Brilliant mind influenced not only by abstract mathematical concepts but also by the artistic creativity, so he was beyond the normal physics descriptions in the text books.
I used to lecture on clinical exercise. One year I told my students about Richard Feynman. Nobel prize winner that taught quantum theory etc using chalk and a blackboard…..so I said we are going to go all ‘Feynman’ this semester. You can read the slides online before the lecture but I’m going to teach you using a whiteboard and marker pens. Nothing more. The lectures were a huge success
I am feeling... So satisfied...seeing "Gravitation' by Richard Feynman". In my school days, I used to study Galelio, Neuton's and Keplar's laws with hopes and ambitions. Now, After completing my postgraduation education in MCA i.e. Master of Computer Applications with Specialization in Machine Learning; Gravitation' by Richard Feynman makes me feel... as if I am already a master of Astronomy, also. What an explanation of Gravitation by Richard Feynman.
So, pleased that so many of Mr. Feynman's lectures have been preserved. Always enjoy listening to him and hope generations to come take advantage.🤔
Aww lectures with the actual professor in the room, not one of his graduate students. So refreshing. And a chalk board, used sparingly but with impact to the lecture material is such a lost art now. This was how we taught the people that developed computers and landed people on the moon. These are the lectures they attended.
It was very interesting. My physics teachers from middle school to university explained the "Law of Gravity." We did all the exercises without calculators, something the new generations might not understand.
What a spectacular, timeless lecture.
