I met Richard Feynman back at Caltech around 1980 or so -- he was a dinner guest at my student house and he shared all sorts of anecdotes about Los Alamos and helping to defend a strip club that the city of Pasadena was trying to shut down, and so on. He even taught an informal class on safe-cracking while I was there (I didn't take advantage of it). He loved the students so much that he participated in the various theater events usually playing the bongos. And even back then, he taught Freshman and Sophomore Physics -- unfortunately I missed him by one year (I was a Freshman in a year when he was teaching Sophomore physics, and vice versa). I was not a great physics student, but I still wish I could have taken his classes. He had a really great sense of humor and everyone really loved him there. I feel very lucky for the brief time our house got to spend with him.

I have no idea. If he described the location (which is possible), I don't remember. This was around 1980 or so. I remember the evening when he was our dinner guest, because it was a highlight of my time there. But I can't recall too many more details other than what I mentioned. Also, I haven't been back to Pasadena since 1983, which is when I graduated. And I never visited any strip clubs back then.

Javaman92 I am an Indian. One of my profs at a university while doing postdoc at US struggled to meet him (by then he had won Nobel Prize). In the age when there was no internet they managed to find his house. They travelled to his house by car riding it for a day, reached and found gates closed with a sign indicating to beware of dogs. These people couldn't find anyone at the gates and decided to climb the gate to enter his house because they couldn't afford to go back after travelling for a day to meet him. Just as they entered his dogs welcomed them, hearing this Feynman came and opened the door to his house to let my prof and his friend to come in. He was not at all scared to see these guys trespass his property, he was infact very happy to meet them as his fame had made him confined to a small place. He made them sit had a nice chat over coffee, and credited all his achievements to Paul Dirac.

Having studied physics, studied particle physics and doing the math involved in Feynman diagrams all the praise of his intelligence is well deserved. Look up re-normalization, that's how he solved the problem about infinite possibilities in the checkers board analogy. Also turned out to be super useful in theoretical pure math so he was a double boss there. You know, just strolling down the street solving the biggest physics problem of the day with pictures and at the same time creating a new tool for mathematicians that they didn't even know they wanted or needed. Like a bawse.

I'm currently studying Quantum Field Theory (currently browsing KZitem for "inspiration" for studying for the test) and man, how he managed to come up with the horrible yet genious mess that is renormalization is completely beyond me. Like, "We've got a bunch of annoying infinities here, let's rewrite them in terms of other infinities so that everything infinite cancels, our previous unknown parameters turn into ones we can actually meassure, and obtain small corrections that makes this theory describe reality to an almost absurd degree of certainty".

It blew my mind and I spent the rest of the day squinting really closely at various objects, trying to see the atoms. That's how I feel whenever I watch Feynman's lectures. I often times watch videos of him when I'm feeling unmotivated in my studies, he reminds me why I'm getting a degree in mathematics (which, even to a math nerd, can feel boring at times).

Thank you for making this. I was fortunate enough to have taken two undergraduate-level physics courses (acoustics and thermodynamics; relativity and quantum mechanics) personally taught by Feynman, when my employer brought him in to teach continuing education classes. He was an amazing character, and I had the privilege of having a number of conversations, getting my butt kicked in a philosophical argument about the nature of quarks (he called them "partons"), and striking up a minor friendship with him. He was the best teacher I ever had and his influence in shaping my thought processes persists to this day. One of the most surreal and bizarre moments of my life was sitting in a class where he was teaching the rules for constructing what he called "silly pictures". We call them "Feynman diagrams". On another occasion I heard him utter "Anyone who claims to understand any of this hasn't given it enough thought." which was his paraphrase of Bohr's famous comment. I miss him.

Peaceful things. I would have also liked to have gotten to know him. R.I.P.

Timothy Figgis Prevalent science tells us that we cannot possibly know if the universe is quite infinite or not. Not yet, anyway. As nice as your idea is, it's not exactly fact. Also, have you considered that the universe may have an end? Therefore, you have to take all of the atoms in your body and multiply them by the chance of them coming together to compose another conscious being. This is extremely unlikely and, moreover, it probably wouldn't be you, anyway. If someone were to break down all of your atoms and resemble them, is it really still you? Your idea is a nice one but don't act like it is fact and certainly don't precede it with "No one need be scared of dying". That's kind of ridiculous.

I watched him hold forth at the student hall with a great crowd of students and others. He was amazing in person and loved explaining things. I don't know whether Feynman's reputation had anything to do with it, but every Caltech freshman learned how to pick locks. That knowledge helped me once when I was a postdoctoral fellow. It's also the basis for an anecdote when I was a graduate student at Columbia. He was amazing in being smart and humble, weird and approachable. Losing him was a blow to humanity.

I think Feynman and Dennis McKenna have something in common. They have a vocal quality that just makes whatever they are saying, extremely interesting along with focusing your attention. Both could read phone books and I would have a smile on my face while I'm listening.

Professor Feynman is also a genius to reckon with in his own right, his uniqueness is his ability and emphasis on breaking things down to simple form and he emphasis on that! I'm still amazed why most world innovators and great minds are mathemticians and I hope I can get there too as a Mathematician! Thanks for this bro!

Basically, yes. Have you heard of the Heisenberg Uncertainty? It means that when the position of a particle is well known, the momentum cannot be well known-and vice versa. There are more of these uncertainties, and they come in pairs (math talk: when their measurement operators don't commutate). Position/Momentum is one of them, but Time/Energy is another one. It means that when the time is very constrained and short, the Energy can get really big temporarily (like in Quantum tunneling, where the particle "borrows" energy for a short period of time). The reverse is that when the energy is very constrained - time gets uncertain. So yes, it "kinda" travels back in time - but not really.

I disagree, firstly consider the times. It was believed that the Nazis would develop their own bomb any day. The world as a whole was terrified and patriotic fervor was at an all time high. Secondly, despite the goal of the project and the horrendous creation it birthed the science that was accomplished would have taken decades to be discovered, the project gave us an understanding of the universe that literally changed the world and shaped the modern age. Decades of scientific achievement was accomplished in just a few years.
@mgalikhanisaeid8033

Feynman said himself that he started the project because he was told that if we didn't develop the bomb, the Nazis will. But then the Nazis were defeated already when Feynman and his colleagues finished the bomb. He even admitted it in an interview. It was obvious that he was ashamed of his involvement, specially when he knew it had nothing to do with the Nazis any more. And personally, I would have preferred waiting a few more decades for scientific the achievements you mention, and not kill so many innocent civilians

The Rabbit Hole Meh. Your acute hindsight is not his a indictment of his foresight or actions. The worst you can do is criticize him for believing his political and military leaders to be responsible and humanists. They weren't. Rational human beings assumed that simply the threat of using such a horrific weapon would be sufficient. Feynman had no way of knowing that Truman would drop the bomb on an already defeated Japan just as they were ready to surrender. There is no fucking way anyone could have foreseen the president ordering it dropped on a non-military target like HIroshima. It was not a dark spot in his legacy, it's a bloody stain on the US govt, Truman, and Christian leadership.

Are you suggesting that he helped develop the bomb thinking it wouldn't be used? or it would be used responsibly? Or used only as a threat?
@ExperienceCounts2

The Rabbit Hole I'm suggesting exactly what I wrote. He had no way of knowing if it would be used, or that it would be used in the way it was. He had no way of knowing if another country would have one first, or how or where it would been used. He had no way of knowing the future. You're judging him in an entirely different and completely unfair context, one where we know what the outcome was. You can back-fit "shouldn't have" decisions about thousands of people. If he and others had resigned from the bomb project and then Germany or Japan had dropped the first atomic bomb on downtown Miami, you'd be judging him a traitor/coward. That'd be bullshit too.

You know its sort of ironic that Black Holes are named that way, since they have soooo much light inside of them that it's impossible. If you were to jump into one, guess what would happen. Yes. An infinitely large and amazing lightshow, which would make you extremely happy, while you were being ripped apart into atoms, and maybe even smaller things... like quantum strings, for example...

I love Feynman, Dirac was the pioneer of Q.E.D, Feynman reworked the idea in a different way, which was largely rejected at first. Feynman introduced the mathematical sleight of hand that is renormalisation. Both Dirac and Feynman publicly decried renormalisation. Dirac described it as rotten to the core. Feynman was more pragmatic, he acknowledged that whilst renormalisation was a fudge, it still allowed QED to be an incredibly powerful tool.

Rebecca98463 Most of the French loan words were introduced by the Normas around the 11th century, so no, Britiain didn't introduce new shit into English after the American revolution. There are regional accents and dialects in the UK that still use viking slang. It is not a modern creation. Maths makes more sense, as it describes a field of study with many parts, it's a collective expression. Like Electronics. You don't hear anyone say they study Electronic do you. :)
