"I will tell you about quantum electrodynamics without math, so my explanation will be necessarily incomplete. But I promise that my simplified explanation will not tell you anything that I would need to retract in a more detailed explanation." ~ Richard Feynman, opening a Cornell University on QED for a general audience.

It's funny -- my friends in college all love Feynman because he's so easy to understand and because he explains things so elegantly. For the same reason, my physics professor is a bit intimidated by Feynman because he knows it takes A LOT knowledge and skill to be able to explain something so complex so easily.

Feynman's careful discussion of complex topics sets an absolute standard for truth, clarity, and respect for his listeners.

A man with a great mind using his brilliance and imagination and comparing his thoughts to a chess game. Feynman was called in to investigate the 1986 Challenger Shuttle disiaster. He often had 'seminars' with ordinary people just to hear their ideas, expand his mind and challenge science. He was one of these people who had incredible intelligence and yet could explain the most complicated of subjects in a way that anyone could understand. True genius and a lesson to us all. Sadly RIP.

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!"

An excellent exposition of Scientific method by a brilliant scientist.What I loved most about Richard Feynman was his playful sense of humor and practical joking:safecracking at Los Alamos and deliberately leaving classified documents lying around for a laugh.Must have been a headache for Security folk.The safecracking mullarkey just cracks me up.

this man gave me a new angle on how science works in under three minutes. it's one of those things where you sort of know it but lack the words or analogies to fully express it. that's what he did for me, with the bishop analogy. the bishop moving on a diagonal EXPLAINS why it preserves its color, just like newton's law of gravitation or einstein's explanation of curved space-time EXPLAIN why planetary orbits sweep out equal areas in equal times. but in physics, the rules get simpler. *sniff*

This is why it always makes me angry when scientists are accused of ignoring facts that don't fit their theories. Sure, it happens sometimes, but it's contrary to the very nature of science. For a true scientist, the thing that doesn't fit is the most interesting one of them all.

There is a book that takes the mystery out of chess, it's call the Collier's Quick and Easy Guide to Chess, written in the 1950's. I'm serious. It teaches the simple Principles of Chess in an understandable manner. It teaches a style similar to Bruce Lee's Jeet Kun Do, (the Way of the Stopping Fist). Take the initiativeea by thr and kept it.

perhaps that the rules don't seem to change implies that the game has been fully defined. if that is so, then perhaps that implies that the entire rule set can be known. in this case we will most likely one day know the entire rules set of (the universe) chess. alternatively, if the game is still being defined, then we should expect the rules to constantly be changing (which they are not).
