Feynman excluded explanations from his model, just because he didn't get annoyed by people asking him about his subjective procedures to get those mathematical constructs ... Assertively, He believed that trying to explain them through Natural Language words would derail the mathematical framework established. Perhaps, with a few, who he felt trusted about not misinterpret his cognitive mechanism to arrive at those mathematical constructs, he was open to 'use analogical descriptions through natural language' with them ... but to stay quiet to the masses and prevent overthinking about the meaning of the diagrams and the equations, He denoised the implementation and consolidation of his theoretical paradigm ... ... just denoising the mathematical construct/relationships from human's subjective chaos ... ... What's wrong with that ?? ... ... 'Humans Natural Languages' are limited by Human Perception data incomes, those languages fall into unsolvable paradoxes when/where you are trying to deal with stuff out of the perceptual range of the species... If you are a philosopher, you should understand why Feynman took that stance about those mathematical discernments. The 'wise' Jedis don't have to kill the 'evil' Sith' ... Maybe, The 'wise Jedis' are working for the emperor.

Nifty. I always had a Feynman-esque attitude about philosophy in general too for roughly the 1st half of my life so far. But there is little Q that science & philosophy can both inspire each other, & pretty much always have, regardless of the "division" that occured in academia since the renaissance/enlightenment. David Albert recently said something interesting on Brian Keating's channel that I totally agree with, which was being a fan of division of labor. That is to say, Its fine for people to be interested in only one or the other or even both. What's NOT OK is having hostility towards your non-preference. Arguing over importance is silly. We need both, & that's all there is to it. EDIT: They also discussed Eisenstein/Maxwewell/Bore & the Popper take & all. "Foundations" ought to be the hot topic that it is IMO.

Much as I admire Feynman, his work is not beyond criticism or above reproach. I recommend watching the videos of physicist Alexander Unzicker, Phd ("Unzicker's Real Physics") on YT.

Here's a link to his take on Feynman with a quote from the site: kzitem.info/news/bejne/o6R5qoqoe4V1eaA Overhyped Physicists: Richard Feynman "Feynman was a character you simply cannot dislike. Yet, the theory on which his fame is based, turns out to be bogus - a symptom of the superficiality with which he tackled fundamental questions of physics.

"The purpose of scientific knowledge is to understand cause and effect relationships." Hmm, who told you that, Ayn Rand? Considering how problematic causality is in quantum physics and relativistic physics, that puts you on the losing side of an argument that was settled a century ago. The mathematics that best describes the world at quantum scale is probabilistic. Beliefs that there's some hidden local causal reality beneath the probabilities (called "realism) have been shown to be false, and many of the paradoxical predictions of quantum theory have been experimentally observed. So, if your basic assumptions about cause and effect don't stand up, but the mathematics does, it's sensible to consider the mathematics the more correct description. This is deeply counter-intuitive, but show me the signed contract that was handed to us at birth promising that the world would conform to our intuitions.

>>> The mathematics that best describes the world at quantum scale is probabilistic. Agreed. Karl Popper referred to these inherent probabilities as "Propensities" (something analogous to a "habit" in living organisms). And the absurdity of trying to reduce all probabilities to strictly deterministic certainties he compellingly showed in an explanation of a thought-experiment by Czech quantum physicist Alfred Landé called "Landé's Blade." Briefly, Landé posited a tube suspended at an angle, down which we roll a heavy ivory billiard ball. When the ball exits the tube, it encounters a thin, metal blade (like the edge of a sword). It rolls along the blade for a bit until various random forces cause the ball to fall either to the left or to the right. On each side of the blade, there's a bucket that catches the balls as they roll onto the blade and fall. One billiard ball does not influence any other billiard ball so each roll thru the tube is an independent event. Simple probability tells us that over time, the number of balls in the right basket will be (approximately) equal to the number of balls in the left basket, which is just another way to say the odds of falling left or right is 1 chance out of 2 possibilities, or 1/2, or 50%. Landé then says that if we had a "super microscope" that allowed us to see what was occurring on a molecular level (i.e., the molecules of the ball, the tube, and the blade) so that we could detect the "nudging" that those molecules contributed to the ball's falling left or falling right, allowing us to predict with complete certainly which bucket it would fall into AFTER it was nudged by a particular molecule in a particular way, we still wouldn't be able to predict with certainty WHY a particular molecule nudged the ball to the left or to the right BEFORE the ball encounters that molecule. Again, according to Landé, if we had an even more powerful super-microscope allowing us to see atomic events that caused particular molecules to nudge left or right so that we could predict with 100% certainty which atom would nudge which molecule in a known way, it wouldn't answer the question of why the 50/50 propensity should inhere in atoms. So we would need yet an even more powerful microscope to look at subatomic events, which predictably nudge atomic events, which predictably nudge molecular events, which predictably nudge macro-sized events (such as rolling billiard balls); but that again brings up the mystery of why the 50%-left/50%-right propensity inheres in the subatomic events; and so on, ad infinitum. No matter how powerful our examining tools are, the 50%-left vs. 50%-right probability exists. We know that, of course, because in fact, the billiard balls roll down the tube and follow classical probability outcomes of about 50% falling into the left bucket, and 50% falling into the right bucket. I believe Alfred Landé was quite right about this (as was Popper in his explanation of this thought-experiment) since it illustrates a big problem with the assumptions of metaphysical materialism, physical reductionism, and strict causal determinism.

By some strange coincidence I just read Feynman's book this past weekend. Transcribed from his lectures at MIT it was described as an introductory course for non-science majors at MIT, which immediately struck me as an oxymoron. But I kept reading because I was a non-science major too and thought this would be way over my pay grade. In fact these lectures are on their face eminently understandable. I believe these lectures become the orthodox understanding of Physics at that time, late 1940's, early 1950's. The chemistry of nuclear physics required a mathematical model based on observed phenomenon. By the time I was in high school in the late 1960's this kind of thinking became axiomatic. Being intensely interested in science and bad at math, I went for the social sciences, which required mostly statistics, boring but doable, because I didn't think I could hack the math. This dance between observation and calculation appears to me as a completely rational AND emotionally satisfying resolution.

But why do you make that assumption? Wouldn’t you attribute it to “common sense” applied to physical reality, or the framework to reason about physical events? As far as I can tell, this “common sense” view is a cognitive behavior we evolved with, probably because that fits the physical world at our macroscopic scale well enough to help us survive and pass on genes and so on. But we already know so much about the physical world which ought to make us doubt this common sense perspective: the earth rotating around the sun, for example, or Quantum Mechanics for a more complicated one, where both views are much larger and much smaller than the scale our cognitive system evolved to handle, respectively. The most blatant example is the non-locality inherent in Quantum Mechanics. And remarkably, perhaps the most underrated great physicist and thinker of our time, John Bell, gave a method to test in the real world whether non-locality applied to our reality. And perhaps even more remarkable, this subsequently WAS experimentally verified (see the 2022 Noble Prize in Physics)! … seriously, after studying Quantum Mechanics entirely because of my personal obsession with this insane notion of non-locality (which has been near universally unknown, probably because or the “unconcern for the physical world” that you allege and which I agree with in physics classes So I think it’s a huge mistake to make this assumption that you do. I think there’s ample evidence to reject, or AT LEAST allow other possibilities on the table than assuming there are just entities that exist and act (with the implicit assumption that these actions are local, I suspect).

For instance, a gravity wave moves like a cascading action, observational evidence shows that not only does (energy convert to mass, and mass to energy, but as well as the medium that intermediates mass and energy) which means we need to account for smaller quantities and distributions of action that describe the resistances acting to dilate perceived space and time, because that is made of energy based action as well. These concepts of a warpable space, and a dilating time are not behaving like a space or a time, they behave more like fluid of resistances. For instance, black hole mergers convert solar masses worth of energy into these gravitational waves, and these gravitational wave impart action on instruments, which is a direct energy conversion for (this mediums energy conversion towards detectable change in resistance acting on a instruments behavior). Energy density, mass, and the medium, seems to have more to do with a continuous vector field and the arrangements of motion direction differences over a volume within this vector field.

String theory might be true at some level, but it represents only a small piece of a larger set of more fundamental processes at Planck scale. Quantized vortices that form open and closed tubes in a non-viscos fluid can explain the foundational basis of the more emergent oscillating string process. At the fundamental scale, ℎ represents the circumference, ℏ the radius, and 2ℏ the diameter of angular momentum quanta (quantized vortex). The ℏ value is the reduced Planck constant and serves as the relative reduced action-the linear radius reduction of ℎ-as part of an angular motion quanta that will resist another angular motion quanta. Essentially, half of the quanta is moving in the opposite direction of the other half. The diameter 2ℏ provides the linear spatial length, contrasting with the action length ℎ and the relative ℏ reduced action length. When angular motion vortices align, they can form open or closed tubes. The action-based oscillation travel time around the length of the tube is given by ℎ⋅𝑛/𝑐, where the circumference ℎ is the travel length of action, not the spatial length occupied by the angular motion quanta, which is 2ℏ. Therefore, the true length of the open or closed tube is 2ℏ⋅𝑛, while the oscillating action travel time around the loop is ℎ⋅𝑛/𝑐. The relative oscillation travel speed around the loop is inversely proportional to the travel speed of the tube. Hence, the correct action travel time considering this inverse proportionality is ℎ⋅𝑛/(𝑐−𝑠), where 𝑠 is the speed of the tube, and (c-s) is the speed of the oscillation, a relativistic trade off between speed of the loop in one direction effecting speed of a oscillation traversing the loop. Additionally, the tubes exhibit secondary properties: open tubes will orbit each other due to angular action, and closed tubes will move in and out of each other due to angular action. This dynamic interaction defines a specific set of kinetics and oscillations within the system, which are not fully understood yet. Fundamentally, we are not dealing with wave functions directly; instead, wave functions are secondary emergent processes resulting from continuous motion undergoing action. There are two types of energy to consider: -Continuous angular motion flux, where energy grows with circumference length in a quantized angular motion environment. -Kinetic oscillations, where energy grows with frequency in a quantized angular motion environment. Wave functions cannot exist without angular motion quanta. It is possible that they depend on each other to exist recursively. While there might be a smaller granular scale than 2ℏ diameter length, this is currently unknown. Therefore, from our current understanding, angular motion is more fundamental than wave functions. Continuous motion flow with directionality differential seems more fundamental based on the equations and observations.

Let me be more descriptive. The planck value = (h), it's a fundamental natural unit for quantized action in the universe (it's a circumference length of angular motion), while ℏ "h bar" is the radius of the h circumference length, and it is the reduced angular action (reduced for mass scaling purposes, and because half of the vortex is moving the opposite direction as the other half, therefore for another vortex, it feels the resistance of half of another vortex that it interacts with). The quantization at the smaller scale is a result of the big bang energy quantizing into a low resistance state within a superfluid (a bunch of vortices that equal the same size that permeates all of space, they are largely in potential energy state of low resistance angular flux, since the speed of motion transfer is so high (speed of light) and the vortices are so small, they trade off energy differentials very fast, therefore quantized equilibrium is found fast). For mass to grow it must have the equal and opposite angular action to occupy space (ℏ * integer). When the vortices align, they form these tubes, the tubes oscillation along their lengths. The tubes can be open or closed, a lot like when dolphin blow bubbles under water, but instead of bubbles in water, it's angular motion with continuous non-viscos superfluid at the Planck scale (orders of magnitude smaller than the scale that current understand of quantum physics operates).

Planck's constant is derived from measurements from multiple triangulating sources, individually. While the wave function is there to help explain what is measured, which incorporates hbar as well. So understanding this action component is key, how it's used, and how it relates to mass (it's a relative constant, relative to how mass forms and interacts) it's relative to the measurement frame of reference (mass), which is a profound point that goes over peoples heads.

25:45 Regarding the whole section on 3 ways to formulate gravity, once again I think you're both misunderstanding Feynman. Aviram says that Feynman is right that the formulations are equivalent but isn't right about the conclusion, and then Aviram misinterprets the conclusion. Feynman wasn't saying that you have to be completely unprincipled and pragmatic about the models. Feynman was saying that none of these make predictions the others don't. If 2 models make different predictions, you can determine which one differs from reality by doing an experiment. If they don't differ, you can't say one is right and another is wrong WITHOUT EVIDENCE that any are wrong. In other words, you can't say one is wrong and another is right simply on your favorite philosophy. Sure, some are unlikely to be a good narrative description of the cause and effect of what reality is doing at the granular level, but you CANNOT CLAIM you know the fundamental base level of reality, without evidence backing you up. The history of physics, shows that every time physicists think they've reached the fundamental level of reality, they've turned out to be wrong so you can't claim your mental model is an accurate description of the fundamental level of reality. That's what Feynman is saying. No one knows the fundamental level of reality, and all these models are predictively equivalent, so you cannot give preference to one over others, without departing science and entering the realm of human desire.

Paraphrasing: "I know that reality consists of entities ... because reality consists of entities." No you don't. You then immediately follow with an explanation showing that you don't know this. You say that for it to not be true, we'd all have to be in some computer simulation or something, and you don't have proof that we're not in a computer simulation. You're asserting things to be true with no evidence, just your preference, for them to stand on. That's bad science.

26:53 "Entities don't follow abstract laws ... entities have natures and they act according to their natures." Now you're just playing with words at best and contradicting yourself at worst. For an entity to have a nature and to act according to that nature is for an entity to follow an abstract law. (One can either associate the laws with the natures, or associate the law with your claim that 'entities act according to their natures'.) You've just said either "entities don't follow laws, they follow laws" or "there are no laws, here's a law". I thought you started the video with an interesting premise (issues with modern approaches to physics), but so far you're making a terrible argument for it, by misinterpreting Feynman through your premise, by making unsubstantiated and unscientific claims, and toying with semantics. And here's a tragedy in it, I suspect you and I see physics (and the relationship between math and physics) more similarly than we differ, but I'm having a very hard time getting through this video.

So you are saying that it is possible that entities are not actually acting on one another at specific times and that instead the underlying nature of these entities is that they follow a minimum principle? I think such a thing does contradict the evidence: we have never seen an entity simply act according to some general rule which stretches across time. Instead, we have only ever seen entities act according to their nature at the time they have that nature. My point is exactly that the claim that nature fundamentally acts according to a minimum principle contradicts evidence. What would it look like for entities to follow a minimum principle fundamentally (instead of acting according to the nature they have at any given time?) are you claiming that the particle somehow knows ahead of time what path to take in order to reduce its action in the long run? Like it is conscious?

I didn't speak super clearly during that part of this video, so I'll explain now by asking you this: We know entities exist, what is your evidence that something more fundamental than entities exist?

I should make a separate video some time explaining why I reject the idea of natural laws. For now, I'll just say it like this: I don't think entities follow laws, I think they have natures and they act according to those natures. "Laws" are only valid to the extent the talk about those natures. You seem to be asking, "what the hell could a law be other than simply an entity acting in accordance with it's nature?" Good question; you can think of the law as a general rule that describes what kinds of things happen without talking about the entities causing this to happen. One example would be our field theory of electromagnetism: we talk about fields but not what carries the fields. This is perfectly fine, but if we want to take the next step, we need to think about what entity carries the fields.

The universe is a very simple place. By using the laws of parsimony or Occam’s razor, we can reduce the complexity of the universe. According to the law of parsimony, which is the problem-solving principle that the simplest solution tends to be the correct one when presented with competing hypotheses to solve a problem; one should select the solution with the fewest assumptions. Using this basic principle, we can start with the fewest number of particles that the universe can be made of. The answer to this must be, only one particle, because that is the smallest possible number that is available and it is a good starting point. Now, we need to give this particle a shape. What is the simplest possible shape that the universe has to offer? The answer being; - the sphere. Yes, the sphere is the simplest possible shape. Well, now that we have established a number and a shape of this particle, we will need to add some states or functions for this particle so that it can create a diverse universe of matter, space, gravity, energy and light. Well, that seems to be a pretty tall order for just one simple particle to perform, so how does this particle do such complex functions? Firstly, I’ll ask Nikola Tesla to see if he has any clues. “Nikola, how does the universe work?” Nikola says “the number 3 holds the secrets to how the universe works”. Thanks Nicola! I’ll take your advice and have a close look at nature to see how many times that the number 3 appears. Well, Nikola, it looks like you were right! The number 3 appears to be popping up everywhere when I look at fundamental elements and nature in general. Let’s make a list of what we can find - 1. The atom has an electron, proton and neutron - well that’s 3! That’s a good start! 2. The electric plug has 3 points - positive, negative and earth. Getting better! 3. In chemistry, there is acid, alkaline and neutral (3) Wonderful! 4. There are 3 states of matter - gas, liquid and solid. (Note - plasma is just a gas which is being pushed by aether flow) Phew!! That was a close one! 5. The human eye has 3 colour selection cones; red, blue and green. Perfect! 6. The brain sees the world in sections of 3 which is called the rule of thirds. It’s too good to be true, surely! 7. All sub-atomic particles come in groups of 3. Marvellous! That’s just the icing on the cake! 8. 3 dimensions of space - height, breadth and width. 9. 3 Fractal dimensions - atoms, solar systems and galaxies. 10. The Equation E=MC^ has 3 parts. Thus, we can plainly see that the universe uses the number three at a fundamental level for all basic things. Thus, we can interpret this as a consequence that the ultimate particle must have 3 states or functions. Now, we have established that a sphere has 3 states or functions. So what 3 actions can a sphere in frictionless space perform? Well, I can only think of 3 possible movements that a sphere in frictionless space can do which are left spin, right spin or no spin. Thus, we now have a complete picture of the least number of particles; the simplest shape and simplest functions. Thus, according to the laws of parsimony, the universe would make a fundamental particle in this manner, if it was a logical universe which didn’t have any wastage or superfluous activity.

Occam's Razor refers to a method of selecting one predictive model (i.e., a "theory") over another: in general, that model or theory which uses the fewest assumptions to make predictions is preferred over models or theories that make use of "add-ons" or "ad-hoc" assumptions. That we prefer simpler models to more complex ones says something about the way our minds work; not about how the universe actually is.

What worries me most is how much of physics is dogma, and how little is actually experimentally known. For example, although we know now neutral matter and antimatter fall in a gravitational field, we only now assume electromagnetism is not or is extremely weakly coupled to gravity and in GUT only at very high energy scales. But there is so much in between, and the forces are so astronomically of different magnitude, we don't currently even know if a simple charged particle like the electron falls down, up, or something different in a gravitational field. This is because it is assumed all neutrall matter gravitates, but accessing even a miniscule fraction of the potential charge of matter would vaporize our measuring apparatus or create high electrical discharges rendering a meaningful measurement impossible with most setups. There certainly are reasons something could be afoot, particularly with Sakharov derivation of gravity as a residual EM effect. Its troubling we assume a lot without having honestly looked, and spend billions on big particle accelelerators when a much less costly electron beam experiment could explore something much more fundamental. I would love to design or take a physics class where the parameter space of what is unknown is better explored. It might be embarrassing, and not fit in our current grant structure, but many important questions are left unanswered when we grandstand too much, and just assume progress is marching forward...instead of looking with a little humility a little back.

The entire problem you discuss here lies in our inability to specify with certainty which particle (photon, lepton, quark or any other) exactly are the DIGITS, with which we make our calculations in our minds. Once this is certain there is a 100% certainty as to what LAWS OF MOTION rule all events in the universe: Neither the Newton's Laws nor Schrödinger's wave function, but THE 4 BASIC RULES OF ARITHMETIC OPERATIONS (+ - × ÷). Then not only all laws of physics but also those of all other sciences, including those of the so called SOCIAL SCIENCES, would follow in a practically verifiable manner through application in own immediate surrounding by any lay person. So the task of all knowledge seekers is to first specify "which particles are what we call DIGITS?". And is it the same for all? Whatever one assumes them to be, the final answer MUST be confirmed by PRACTICAL PREVENTION of one or more of the evils specified exhaustively above. This condition also solves the current dichotomy between DETERMINISM and PROBABILISM (or whatever other name some call it: RANDOMISM, CHAOISM or whatever) by demanding that the laws that serve to PREVENT EVIL be deterministic, while all others be probailistic, as positive surprises are even more enjoyable than positive certainties so long as one is confident all negative potentials are PREVENTED with certainty. This is DESTINISM, where we first design the laws nature SHOULD follow to sustain evil free life function eternally and analyze phenomena thereafter, only to find the means for their continuous practical implementation.

I agree with the principal gist of your philosophical rendering. In my opinion it's not that the various methods for explicating & teaching physics are necessarily wrong. It's that they intrinsically are geared to be efficaciously calculating from one individual local to the next. The way physics is taught, does not at all take into account the realization of a system, or a systematization, never mind a wholistic systematization. Everything I have ever been able to gleam from the physics world, simply gets you from point A to point B & so on. It's a connect the points as linearizations. Never mind why you are connecting the points. Just connect them & you get somewhere. This in my opinion, in great degree, is why as of yet, we haven't knocked the ball out of the park. We're still manifesting inadequate & inefficient contraptions. 😮

Dude, this is off topic, but I think you will be interested. I think I figured out a way to do supersonic travel, it might be hard to engineer, but it physically checks out. Example, Golf balls have angular motion pits that allow it to store angular motion air pockets. However a golf ball only moves at speed close to ~200mph. For super sonic speeds and differentials in acceleration, it is required for you to have multiple angular motion wells (energy states) to store the motion. Which means adaptive angular motion pits, to be able to accumulate that energy in low resistance angular motion wells, to allow for further acceleration. As you accelerate or have greater velocity, the pressure on the boundary changes, the previous dimples become a resistance factor, therefore dimples need to change shape to facilitate the next angular motion energy state. Not just based on velocity or acceleration, but the density of the gas and pressure as a result of these acceleration deltas, and velocities. The more of that energy you can effectively store into angular motion, the more you can decrease the resistance to acceleration. A air craft's surface would have to protrude and contract differentially facilitate the hierarchical nesting of low resistance energy states of angular motion. What you are doing is creating wheels in the atmosphere to roll along. The parts of the angular motion that interact with the ship is moving in the same direction as the ship, the part of the angular motion that is moving in the opposing direction of the ship interacts with the air passing over the ship.

Interesting, I am all about aerodynamics too, the concept of "area rule" Is very beneficial, it was discovered in Germany in 1944. I remember watching an episode of Mythbusters where they showed that the dimples on golf balls made them go faster

This is an ingenious - critique of Feynman as incomplete. Moments later in the video Feynman illustrates the dangers of the 'shut-up & calculate regime' by comparing it to the ancient Mayans -- whose astronomy was based purely on calculation i.e. counti days with a ton of fudge factors built overtime. There was no science or discussion of what the moon was or of physical causal relations & results in a cul de sac of possibilities, advancement and impediment to new ways of thinking about the work. He also states in the same lecture that "mathematics is not physics & physics is not mathematics, they help each other." Not a good video. Just watch the Feynman lectures "On the Character of the Physical Law"

I agree: At the very least, modern physicists should not criticize astrology and homeopathy as pseudoscience.

@@Inductica methods of prediction, yes. I am talking about understanding. It is because the predictions of QM are so accurate that they can be capitalized into technology with high ROI, with little understanding of the WHY. There is little funding these days for researching the WHY. I’m an electronics engineer myself and know how to build useful products that leverage QM although I don’t know how to explain the double slit experiment. I have been on Homeopathic medicines for diabetes for over 10 years after the standard drug for it, Metformin, played havoc on my guts. Homeopaths don’t even try to explain how their prescriptions work as the medicines are developed empirically. I don’t see the difference between the above.

I would further add, that physics has already become a sort of empirical science, where the math model has replaced what used to be physical understanding. If the experiments agree with the math model, pay obeisance to the equations and stop fretting about how it works. “Shut up and compute” as Feynman said.

14:20 You mean like how light interacts with you! Light moves at a velocity. If you move at a velocity similar (but lesser) than c in the direction of the light, that light will take time to reach you. When it does reach you, you will be casually linked to the past, the moment in time that the photon is "reporting". If the light is bringing the image of a clock to your eyes, then when it hits your eyes you will say "look it's 5 o'clock!" When you look at the clock that is ahead of you, that light that is moving opposite to your motion, if that clock also reads "5 o'clock" then you KNOW that the two clocks cannot be synchronized as one light took way longer to reach you and so any person standing next to that clock is reading it at the "same" time as being ahead of the time you see. You are a part of the cause and effect of light and its velocity. And we know c is c, because earth moves! And star light from all directions at all times is c!

I'm confused af by your arguments. You're trying to argue that because the current most successful techniques of describing reality don't fit your Philosophy, Modern Physics is all wrong? If we had stuck to your Philosophy of strictly dealing with cause/effect, we would be stuck in the early 1900s. If I'm wrong, please show me an example of the "right" way to do physics. In my opinion Feynman was everything Physics teachers should be, because he tries his hardest to show you the fundamental cause/effect, he would use several classes to explain one concept that most teachers and books would just give you the equations. Your first clip Feynman says he doesn't really think theres infinite things, but he doesn't know so he doesn't want to be biased. Just because you're unable to comprehend infinity or other non-intuitive things doesn't mean it couldn't be. Use some imagination bro. And even if your philosophy is right, it doesn't mean we shouldn't use these techniques to describe reality until technology becomes advanced enough to see the cause/effect. The point is to not be biased, because we don't know. Seems like you have an unfounded and un-useful grudge. If I'm wrong, show me how to do Physics "right".

My argument is that we would be even further along than we are now if we had not been using Feynman's basic approach for the last 100 years. To understand why I think that, keep watching, for examples of the way science used to be done (in line with the inductive method, instead of the hypothetico-deductive method) watch my lecture series, "An Inductive Summary of Physics." This is an essentialized history of physics which will show you how different the inductive method which was used is different from the way we approach science today.

As best I understand what James is saying, he's not saying that modern physics doesn't make successful predictions. Clearly, it has done so. What is lacking today is a physical explanation of the phenomena of quantum and relativity in terms of entities which act on each other, and without this explanation, we can only get so far with technological progress. As a related example, if astronomers of earlier times had advanced their mathematical formalism to the point they were modelling the orbits of the planets as an infinite series of epicycles, sure, today we would have very accurate predictions of the positions of the planets, but without an understanding of gravity we would never have sent any rockets to them, because we would have no idea of what principle to use to aim those rockets.
