    The part at the end where he talks about being behind a car windshield to watch the bomb was included in the recent Oppenheimer movie. So you know Christopher Nolan really did his research, maybe even watched this video himself. Very cool

    At 27:00, Feynman has the interesting reciprocal as 1/273; it should be 1/243.

    What an orator. His attitude about life given his wifes death was commendable. His attitude after the bombs dropped was disturbing. We dance on a razors edge and it's like only Feynman knew it.

    Of course everyone knows that the construction of the bomb was possible with the implosion, but with the fifth dimension it can still be easily explained. Of course this lecture is very funny, but not the result.

    the gift of discovering of Feynman and the wonder of finding things out, have been a gift to humanity. Roger Keelings note below is also another piece of the puzzle that make each individual moment of discovery magical. He gave everybody a sense of wonder that as long as you keep learning and looking, you find things out.

    I am very disappointed as I learnt he was involved in making the atomic bomb. He deluded himself that he had a ‘social conscience’. You don’t contribute to making a bomb for the sake of peace. He, too, was uselessly intelligent like most, if not all, scientists in any given period.

    This reminds me of working Inventory Control for a giant warehouse when I was 16 at my Dad's company. There was an office inside the warehouse dating from the 1950s, and ancient desks nobody had keys to. Using paperclips in my spare time, I opened Everyone's drawers to reveal ancient stuff. It was fun for us all. These folks had been sitting at these old desks they could never open! I went a step further, and fashioned paperclip keys with a bit of tape for each desk. I was their Hero. I also scared the Hell out of them, that this stupid kid could pick any lock and gave them keys that I made for each one. Good times. My Dad was the CFO for the company, after all. And a Captain in the US Army. I've always loved Feynman, never heard this story before. He was picking locks before I was born. It's so easy.

    Somebody makes a netflix YV series about the life of Richard Feynman. And please cast Jack Quaid again as Feynman (like in in the movie Oppenheimer) as he has an uncanny resemblance to him and he's a legit very good actor and a very good comedian too. A series about Feynman would be basically a comedy show with some drama and lots of science done by wacky people.

    It is a mirage. The photographer said explicitly that the skyscrapers sometimes are seen inverted what absolutely confirms it's a mirage. He even showed the journalist videos in which the inversion layer is being formed and concomitantly the mirage appears. Period.
