I'm grateful to have existed during this time. People like Susskind, Feynman, available to me for free online. Thousands of hours of free education online, and no tuition. You can' t get a job after your KZread degree, but hey, most people can't get a job with a "real" degree either. It makes me genuinely happy (and sad) to hear Leonard talking about his dear friend and remembering him for who he was. We should all be so lucky to have a friend out live us like this.

I couldn't take my eyes off the screen, both the narrator and the subject though in such a different way, he makes that quite clear and yet accessible

made my day... could stay here listening to him all night long... also love Feynman...

True. I think someone like Feynman illustrates how important the "style" of a persons thinking is. I.Q. tests can tell us certain things about a person's potential for abstract thought, perhaps, but it's certainly no measure of how intellectually fruitful a person is or will be.

@jaylias you're right I did understand a lot about the world reading Feynman, and those were simple words, not complex jargon, he is great, and still lives in our minds and textbooks

I think that last statement was beautiful. It was a simple solution to a complex set of problems. :)

It seems like Richard Feynman was actually a very interesting person not only in science but in everyday life. Good to know there are some people interested in his works.

I’m rarely a fan of standing ovations but I’ll be goddamned if he didn’t deserve one.

Never thought I'd get to say this to anyone else, seems like it's always just said to me. But 'this is far too short!'

what a delight!

May God bless you sir

This was more of a eulogy than a TEDTalk, but was Feynman was a fascinating man. And of course anything fascinating is worth talking is worth a TEDTalk.

This is the best damn short speech honoring someone I ever heard from a scientist !

Would've loved to hear the stories he cut for time

awesome!

That's a very good ted talk 💓

Awesome talk, I'm a huge Feynman fan, also Susskind has a bunch of free lecture series here on youtube anyone can watch and learn about quantum mechanics. Awesome!

AMAZING

Even if Feynman had been been my professor, I would still have been mediocre. But in the higher echelon of mediocre, merely by being taught by him. He was, and still is, a wonderful tutor who taught people to think in a different , get logical, way. He is sadly missed.

It is people like Einstein, Feynman, Susskind, and many others who tirelessly and fearlessly seek to explain the truth about the world we live in are what makes this world a better place for all of us

greatness

So sad most people just try to honor him instead of honor what he wanted. I may not be even close to him but the simple thing of keeping things simple is what i stand for and every time I can't explain something to somebody who knows nothing about what I am talking about shows me I don't really know what I am talking about. And that is a very simple thing everyone should keep in mind. Important about this for me is I start to think about was I was talking again and again until I can explain it so it is understood. Right now I feel great since that sounds like something he could have said.

Two great scientists indeed, Susskind looks like Mike Ehrmantraut though :D

wonderful ..two great human beans 🙂

Susskind is just a great guy so down to earth and smart love the guy hes like The Taxi Driver of quantum mechanics!

They all deserve a huge amount of respect for being incredible competent in areas of work that requires such a high level of complex thinking... BUT, if we are going compare them like we do athletes or musicians. As pound-for-pound scientists; IN COMPARISON Susskind and Hawking wasn't really on the same level as Richard Feynman, but at least they played the same sport. What A.Einstein was able to accomplish is so far up that chart that it does not make sense to put his name in this context.

'joking'

Excluding time dilation and the 2 harmonic commas responsible for gravity to keep it simple, and saying the atom's time scale is 24 hours we can (and should) see an oscillation cycle of 4 equal time phases on a 12 hour clock face where a 6 hour wait state exists at middle C or 12:00, and another at F# or 6:00. In other words as the hour hand moves it stops at the top (12:00) and bottom (6:00) for 6 hours each, and takes 6 hours to go up and back down each "side" showing 2 phases of movement.>
