The Fantastic Mr Feynman

[kiloran]

Whether you are interested in physics or not, this repeat is a must-see (tomorrow at 22:00): https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p016d3kk

He was no doubt a great physicist, but he was an even greater communicator. I'll never tire of listening to him.

I have a copy of Feynman's book 'What Do You Care What Other People Think?', it's an excellent read and the title, I think, is good advice

Indeed, and if you haven't already read it, then "Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman!": Adventures of a Curious Character, to which the above is a sequel, is, if anything, even better.

And if anyone is interested, there is an excellent exhibition in the new Singapore Science Museum with a fascinating couple of lectures he gave whilst on a visit to a New Zealand Uni (I forget which). I spent a wonderful 3 hours or so there when I was in Singapore a couple of months ago.

They may well be on YouTube but I have not checked.

Thank you. Everyone please listen to those YouTube lectures. They are wonderful and on the whole not that difficult to follow.

Thanks for posting the links for the lectures, unfortunatley I missed them when last in Sing. I have been fan of RF since reading his first autobiog about 30 odd years ago. I would recommend the books "Richard Feynman and modern physics" by James Gleick and "No ordinary genius" for a more in depth look at his fascinating life.
