- Tony Hey is corporate vice president in Microsoft Research, and responsible for its multidisciplinary eScience Research Group and research collaborations between Microsoft and university researchers worldwide. Previously, he directed the U.K.'s e-Science Initiative, helping to build a new scientific infrastructure for collaborative, multidisciplinary, data-intensive research.Before that he was Head of the School of Electronics and Computer Science, and Dean of Engineering and Applied Science at the University of Southampton, and led a group researching parallel computing. Tony is a fellow of the U.K.'s Royal Academy of Engineering, the British Computer Society, the Institute of Engineering and Technology, the Institute of Physics, and the American Association for the Advancement of Science. He was awarded a CBE for his services to science in 2005. Tony is passionate about conveying the excitement of science and technology to young people. He has co-authored "popular" books on quantum mechanics and relativity, and written technical books on particle physics and computing.
About TEDx, x = independently organized event: In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized. (Subject to certain rules and regulations.)
On January 14, 2011, Caltech hosted TEDxCaltech, an exciting one-day event to honor Richard Feynman, Nobel Laureate, Caltech physics professor, iconoclast, visionary, and all-around "curious character." Visit TEDxCaltech.com for more details.
James Gleick's Richard Feynman biography (Genius) talks about these topics. Feynman was a great American Genius that the public knows too little about. He was not into awards or joining science groups. He almost turned down the Nobel Prize. But, his wife convinced him that he would appear like a pompous ass for doing so. He did science for the love & challenge of it. See the PBS documentary, "Tuva or Bust" to get a sense of what a fine person he was, not into feeling self important. He's my hero
Mario Pookster Feynman probably doesn’t like the book title as he believes everyone who works hard can be a quantum physicist
He was right rejecting it. I cringe when the give neoliberal economists Nobel prices as current economics destroys nature.
I came back here to thank you for your suggestion.
According to Feynman, a reporter from Time explained to him that if he declined to accept the Nobel Prize, it would bring much more attention to him than if he accepted it, which was contrary to what he wanted.
I’m new to Richard Feynman….
For me the man showed great balance, tremendous curiosity, courage against critics and a family life that exhibited tremendous love for his wives and then adopted one of the most beautiful women on the planet. That didn’t happen by accident. He was blessed
Dr Feynman said.. we go along.. checking other people's work.. one day you realize.. no one has done that before 🤠
I love Richard Feynman ❤️
I redid his calculations last night, you're wrong.
Takes a seat.
Classic.
Tony Hey is awesome! Love his delivery.
Bravo, what a gift to mankind.
i'd like to see the full video of that lecture on computation that's supposed to be at
'bell labs'.
can't find in on the internet anywhere.
help?!
He was familiar with waveforms from servicing Radios, (reportedly, so the projection of his understanding of circuitry was applied to the Universe), ..so when his natural aptitude for mathematical analysis met with Wheeler's intuition about the timing of electronic positioning +/- here-now, the more complete picture of existence as a ripple effect on the surface of Time could be manifested in Feynman Diagrams and Methodology.
(Everyone has some potential for "genius", another name for intuition perhaps, if their thinking is aligned with the, infinitely variable, universal wave-package. Simple not easy, to operate without abstract incomplete and discontinuous naming schemes)
@martincs14 I couldn't find it anywhere either. I don't think it's available. Maybe we could get in contact with the speaker to see if he has it.
Great TED speech!
@JeffDlouhy thank you!!!!! but i'd like the whole thing! presumably not only 1m30sec of the lecture was recorded. i can only find that short clip on the site with archive org, not the whole lecture, but thanks anyway...
Like his Spirit.
wow what great insight
Science rock star
Que sea arrogante feynman no significa que sea mejor, o peor físico.
No confundir.
I wonder if the woman (not as a woman but as a person) laughing at the ''Europe doesn't exist'' joke actually knows where Europe is..
I dont beleive in compute mechanics cause is ask for pixel of dimension to tiny .....
why does he stays at anti-intellectual microsoft? money?
XX~ TIME/GOD/THOUGHT/ Neurotic ACT between the CAVITIES OF OUR little BRAINS. WE ARE ALL THINKING GODS ~THINKING THE ABSURD.
3:57 lmao
I just wish I could even remotely understand this.
