How wonderful for you to have this testament to her Dear Love...Lovely.

“You dead are so much better than anyone else alive.” Oof, what a punch in the gut.

This letter was written in 1947, but nobody knew it existed until it was found in his papers after his own passing in 1988.

2:44 God, when he said "sweetheart" his voice just got so tight and you can tell for the rest of the letter he's working so hard to keep it together and to the testament of his skill, he does, but the little breaks in his voice here and there were just powerful.

"You dead are so much better than anyone else alive" This line is enough to describe the beauty of memories❤❤

I think why this letter is particularly moving is that Richard Feynman suffered no fools and was brutally honest. In his rational mind he knows that she will never read this and that it is nonsensical to write.....but he does it anyway.

@@ineedmyhat How eloquently put! I think so too!

This letter made me miss my dead wife I never had. Feynman is a legend.

"you dead are so much better than everyone else alive" That line hit me so hard. All the letter in general. As someone who lost their life partner 5 years ago, sometimes basking in the pain of his absence feels like honoring his memory. Even if I am now happy in general and in relationship with a beautiful person, and moving on as such, feels like betraying how much he meant to me. This letter perfectly describes what it feels like to loose the love of your life.

ok so it wasn't just me, he was indeed about to cry at the end!

That was a better letter. Oscar Isaac to me, seemed like he was holding back some tears.

He would find another. Many years later. One faild marriage that lasted only a handfull of years. And one that would last for over two decades, untill the day he died. It is one of the best parts of this letter. The pain in time healed and he loved another as deeply has his first.

I was stunned when I read this letter earlier today. It's very rarely that any piece of writing makes me come that close to crying, let alone a letter only a few paragraphs long. I think what affects me most is managing to see a glimmer of how much a person can love another person. It's so rarely that I see anyone manage to convey that in words, convey it so well that I myself feel it, I myself feel what it might be like to be loved that much or to love someone that much.

he was really about to cry :(( this was so beautiful, a great letter by a great man read back to life by yet another great man

Oh this affected him...it was beautiful to see how it affected him as he read it oh so perfectly!

Wonderful and honest. What a man Richard Feynman was, and so for Oscar Isaac

Beautiful and read with such passion ... simple passion. Beautiful ... I'm in tears.

I’m so thankful I too have a wife I love as much as this.

This letter left me stunned in the best way.

This, people, is what spirituality is like for scientists. We don't lack it. We just have it so it makes sense.

Some if the most visceral emotions ever to be committed to writing.

It's funny now whenever I think of Richard Feynman....I don't think of his scientific achievements......I think of this beautifully written letter. So moving...

We all dream of loving and being loved that way.

Love is a gift we give ourselves.

Bloody hell. This should come with a warning.

I first read the title as Richard Feynman to “airline”, and I was curious what he would be writing to an airline. After a few sentences, I realized this was all about his love.

I'm crying yet again.

So beautiful to hear his feelings towards his wife.

So moving

Life is beautiful and hard. Love is life.

This is heartbreaking...

I mis-read the title as "airline", so the content was a bit of a surprise. I'm better with Feynman diagrams. Arguably.

What is going on in someone's head that they give this a thumbs down?

Sublime

The performance here is stunning. The letter is brilliant. It is the anniversary of a loss for me so the experience was especially moving. Feynman was a great scientist. He tested 125 on an IQ test which bothered a few people - but not him. One of his admirers in his profession suggested that he might be a verbal moron, which would be fine, because that stuff was beside the point. This letter was not written by a verbal moron. I just heard Cumberbatch recite: letter from Kurt Vonnegut to a little man explaining how important, gifted and in demand Vonnegut is (or was). Feynman is a much better writer than Vonnegut, though that is hardly Cumberbacth's fault.. So, either there was a spark in him that the IQ test didn't capture or, Feynman squeezed more value out of those 125 points than any human being before or since.

IQ tests were developed to predict how someone would do in school. They don't measure intelligence, per se. And in addition, many people think there are several different types of intelligence, which are not all measured by IQ tests.

I mean I love the words written and spoken, it truly is a love letter. I can't help but feel that if Richard sealed the letter and never opened it, then perhaps it should have remained so. Just my opinion.

When they found the letter, it had been folded and refilled from him having carried it and read it so much.

I'm not crying, you're crying.

our grief is our own. and "Fantasy Always Beats Reality" . . . except for that being real thing. I don't envy a "new love" trying to compete with their partner's romantic ghost of years gone by. It is generally such a pleasure when Richard's mind invites ours along for an eye opening stroll, so it felt almost disheartening to hear him seeming to fall for the antithetical love trap. It is irrational, but tempting, to imagine that permitting one's torn soul to begin healing from lost love is somehow dishonoring or disloyal to what was. . . and to what is. So, after hearing his bittersweet yearnings, I was pleased to learn his tragic loss was actually only 16 months old, and that he did go on to love again (even if it ended in divorce) " He proposed to her by mail from Rio de Janeiro, and they married in Boise, Idaho, on June 28, 1952, shortly after he returned [from Brazil]. They frequently quarreled and she was frightened by his violent temper.. . They separated on May 20, 1956. . . . The divorce became final on May 5, 1958.

Good reading of a great man. Also, though, notice that there are almost no "reply" to any of the comments here. I wonder what factor(s) account(s) for this, most comment sections are filled with agreements and retorts. Curious.

Who else clicked to hear his letter to the airline?

Who says Arline can not or has not read or hear this letter does not know. Does not know where Arline is. These people do not know where they are and what this temporal existence is about. It is entirely possible that Arline is able to hear and read all that Richard said and did. Not all can understand this. I can. I have had experiences with those who have passed. The good are with us always.

Chingon!!!!

Sounds like crazy talk.

Ok I misread the title. I thought it was a letter to an airline.
