I called his office at CalTech 5 minutes after he left for the last time. His secretary was so kind to me and told me how disappointed he would be to have missed my call. I was on leave from the military and had been studying THE RED BOOKS for 3 years straight, he was my hero. When I got a Caltech t-shirt from his office, I knew just how kind his secretary was to me. I went on to study and teach physics, and though I was never able to get my PhD, I did inspire a number of my students to go on to get advanced degrees and that was my proudest achievement in teaching. I still have that Caltech t-shirt from 1988, how astounding is that? I still have my RED BOOKS TOO and I eventually got to teach students across the country. Feynman inspired me to do that. Now, I'm teaching physics to my wife and grandson! That's all thanks to Dick Feynman!👍😎❤️

Goodness me, this was magnificent! Subbed - all day... Thank you! 👍

I love this man. It gives me feeling it is still worth it, living a life with that intimate deep feeling of meaning. And this meaning could easily be beyond words and even concepts. You can feel his commitment to life when he is playing his drums.

Wow, what a great story.
-
This man got me goin on quantum mechanics... and his method for learning heavy stuff is also quite good!
-
My mentor. Almost every aspect of my current perspective derives from some type of Feynman influence.
-
Thank you for this - thank you!
-
first video i've ever seen that doesnt have a single dislike
-
Brilliant, thank you
-
Interesting format. Very workable. Thanx.
-
I like how his dark side is also mentioned. Makes him feel, as was said a couple of times already, more human.
-
Oppenheimer referred to Feynman as his MVP toward the end of their Manhattan Project work -- wise choice!
-
What is the title of the song at the start of the video, pls?
-
A PPT...

It's like carl disappeared off the face of the earth.

Young people tend to be snobbish And more self righteous, Yet this generation, in many ways is more hideous in then previous one! In the discipline of physics has been Stagnated for over 40 years.

he'd say " get a real songwriter to write your them music".

No video of Feynman. Associates discussing him. Meh.

I like Feynman, but he followed the rules too much. If you think you know quantum physics then you probably didn't follow the rules that have been put in place which are wrong.
