Its not inspirational. Stop saying every sentence of the ppl that did big things is inpirational. They r human too. And I think that sentence is wrong.
@@zerk1044 I think it's very inspirational, and if inspirational is not exactly the word that describes it perfectly, it still eases me because it adresses worries that I have and it is just relaxing hearing someone (that you might be fascinated by) to be relaxed about those things. It's not rational, but relaxing though.
@@jackpics I don't think he is doing either of the two things you think he is. He knows there are many things he doesn't know and that fact does not frighten him. He is trying to find out about the universe and if you could show him a method other than science that would get those answers and you could demonstrate that that other method weas reliable I am sure he would use it.
Can you trust an evolved monkey brain. Does he doubt he even exists. When people die; it is evidence that the "vessel is now empty", for those who have seen (it can't be unseen". Yah; the uncaused cause, his word made flesh, Yesus. Is it so hard for man to not speak and act. We behave; because of freewill and live with the outcome. To love, is a choice born out of freewill.
I remember someone saying that equations and formulas is only a simple model that we try to interpret the universe, there is not really a”true”answer to the world it just turns out it works and we use it
Dude. Toss the music. Professor Feynman does not need background music. His words resonate reasoning. When you have such a high caliber intellectual speak and have background 'fill' music it cheapens the experience.
+Wilbur Jenkins I question your rationale for music.... 1) I've seen this clip elsewhere, and without music. 2) There are plenty of Feynman videos on a myriad of channels and none of them have music. Why would this one be unique? 3) I doubt adding music does any more to nullify a copyright issue than does adding static or slightly altering the playback speed.
Gregory Parrott Well if that is the case. Maybe the uploader just wanted to add music to be a little creative, instead of uploading yet another unedited version. And if you can find the original video else where, then why does it even matter? He could have auto tuned it into a dub step song. Which would just be adding a different level of creativeness/art/personal touch to it. Don't get me wrong, I find it a little annoying as well. Just not as much as the comments reaction. And yes altering some diagnostics of the video do help avoid automated copyright detection ( or at least used to). This is why you see some channels play videos with boarders or in little Tvs. Full movies are usually mirrored images. And audio is slowed down or sped up a fraction. Might be more advanced now, youtube probably caught on.
But when you start searching for truth, then it will come to you. I am his fan but i don't agree with him at this point. We have purpose in this universe. Some one create us and we will return to him. This is the truth which you cannot deny. The one which help others and facilitate the society, is the one better among us. "What is wrong with you?

One of my favourite Feynman quotes comes from lecture he gave to a science class. It was a brief segment of a documentary about his life and work but it has stuck with me ever since. "In science", he said vehemently, "you only ever know if you're wrong!". The class burst out laughing but he was deadly serious.

Charlie Parker-Byron-Michalangelo-Bob Dylan-Bach etc..and Feynman: touched by a different sauce. TY RF-very moving. Your presence lives on in all humanists for eternity.
It's inspiring and beautiful, I hope that people understand that many concepts Feynman presents here are not unique and are somewhat timeless human concepts and it only holds back his point to have a rabid athesit (or irrational polytheistic) preconceptions will only harm an individuals own growth in knowledge and understanding and add ugliness to what is and should remain a beautiful pursuit.
People should be like him, not frightened of not knowing the answers than knowing the wrong ones and believing it to be true!

I have a picture of him on the wall of my bedroom. My respect for him is immense, just because of this video. I don't even have to invoke his discoveries in quantum electrodynamics to crush all critics. His thoughts value more than all the thoughts of all theologians and ordinary people.
Are you right about “the thoughts of all theologians and ordinary people”? So you hint that you are not ordinary but extraordinary, at least to yourself and maybe your mom.
This man is truly one of the main foundations of Science, if we ever develop ourselfs as a structualy intelectual society that are free from the diseases of the humans that we still painfully see today, he is going to be studied as our Socrates of the 20th century.
I love this interview. He's humble, and admit that even with all his knowledge, he don't know 'anything'. And he's not afraid of it. "I think it's much more interesting" One of his lines from this interview that we didn't hear in this clip.
Thank you Dr Rich Feynman, curiosity in thr knowledge of the Universe, is very well expressed. I've read your Books, listened to your Lectures & still find you absolutely Brilliant. I always wanted to meet you , just to say Thank you , for your work in Quantum Physics, Quantum Mechanics! . 💔♥️🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟☄☄☄☄☄✨🕯✡🇬🇧
Beautiful summary of a great physicist, that inspired many of us. I am a theoretical physicist and my own approach to elementary particle physics owes a lot to him. Please correct his date of birth, it is 1918, not 1908.
Thank you, I realised his Date of Birth was incorrect, as well. I admire this genius of a man; as it appears he was rather a Mentor to you in your early years . Fascinating. ☄🕯🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🇬🇧💔
I've seen a lot of Feynman clips but none that showcase his greatness like this one. "I have approximate answers and possible beliefs and different degrees of certainty about different things. But I'm not absolutely sure of anything, and there are many things I don't know anything about, such as whether it means anything to ask why we're here, and what the question might mean. I might think about it a little bit; if I can't figure it out, then I go onto something else. But I don't have to know an answer. I don't feel frightened by not knowing things, by being lost in the mysterious universe without having any purpose, which is the way it really is, as far as I can tell" Perfect
He was a great philosopher because, not only did he have a great understanding of the universe, but also a great understanding of the human perspective of it.
Only few can reach the state of not knowing through knowledge. The secret of universe can be known only by not knowing. This sense of not knowing which we all have neglected. The bliss of truth comes out of this if we are ready to accept it's presence.
Brilliantly brilliant!! He put in indirectly and in a few words the wittgensteinian "paradox of the (flawed) amazement in front of the universe's existence"
Here's something to ponder: because of the "incompleteness" of our sentience, there are things that we THINK we know that are absolutely wrong, no matter how infinitesimal of importance these things are.
He is one of my inspirations to become a physics researcher. Got my bachelors and masters in physics. Now, I am on the verge of quitting. I don't blame anyone but myself.
so bizarre watching this video which was recorded many many years ago and find out ones self sharing the same views with this legend about uncertainty and how it sets human conciousness free and all thats left is absolute openness to any probability in this universe. salute my friend.
''I can live with doubt and uncertainty and not knowing, I think its much more interesting to live not knowing than to have answer which might be wrong.'' Height of intellectuality..I salute you..
"I can live with doubt & uncertainty ... It does'nt frightend me ... (!)" ... what a man, what a great physicist! Dear Prof. Feynman, we miss you badly!
Well put. He hints at our problem. We have confused science with scientism. We declare the use of science at all costs, as if science is our only frame of reference. Whatever problems we have now will not be solved by science. They are a problem of perception. We use science as an enabler to avoid looking at our own failing belief system. Mystery is important. In fact, it's unavoidable.
"But whatever way it comes out -- nature is there and she's going to come out the way she is! And therefore when we go to investigate it, we shouldn't pre-decide what it is we're trying to do except to find out more about it" This idea is the real conscience of science. GOAT
"Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution."
yes it seems to me that his mind is completely open. I think many of us have had a moment, a brief flash, enlightenment, or enlightenment in dealing with a situation. I would say that in this light, in this glow of insight, he found himself very often, if not permanently.
I studied classical lit and philosophy in graduate school. And I went into it seeking answers. By the time I was finished, I'd realized that -- though now equipped with some of the most important and complex insights of the Western Canon -- I still had so many more questions. And that, it turned out, was okay. The desire to pursue knowledge is inescapable, fortunately. But the full acquisition of it is destined to elude us. We are designed to be uncertain. And that's okay. I think that's exactly what Feynman is saying here, and I'm relieved to hear him confirm it.
Richard Feynman is a magnificent orator when it comes to quantum mechanics; primarily using metaphors and analogies instead of physics jargon, so to masses can comprehend the ambiguity, uncertainty and unpredictability of the quantum world. I've been reading up a-lot on quantum entanglement, the complementarity principle and the theory of uncertainty. The schrodinger's cat experiment is an intriguing analogy to explain the superposition paradox between particles.
Mr Pregnant - Atelston Fitzgerald Holder 1st That's easy for you to say. ;-) As a non-scientist but devoted groupie, I appreciate simple simon explanations, except from simpletons, of course - ha ha. I loved reading your blast of, I guess what you call, physics jargon, in the midst of all this love chatter. Made me pay attention and made me chuckle.
Just to digest what he said in this video requires a lot knowledge .... You need a certain level intellectual capacity to what this genius was saying .... Amazing speech sir ... We love you We miss you In every generation ...there’s always a few brilliant individuals ...change the world with their scientific discoveries .. Dr Feynman happen to be one ...of them !
the first thing that you notice about Faynman is that he is a person. First a person, second scientist. He is unusual in many ways: thankful, smiling, strong, convincing....if I was a girl.....ok I will stop now...
That music makes me all teary eyed and makes me wanna kiss somebody. I'm sure Feynman said some things that were very interesting too, but I wasn't paying attention..
Not knowing and uncertainty...I wish I could share in this wisdom from the great Feymann. Of course he's right, but that dosn't make me feel any better. We want to, and I want to, manipulate our world around us. So we can find solutions and answers to deal with our challenges. To solve the riddles of Medicine and uneven distribution of wealth. To solve the meaning of who and how gets what where and when, to understanding why our world is the way it is. But apparently, these are all questions we were never intended to fully know and uncertainty rules all that is around us. Hopefully someday I too will come to ease with this notion, but until that day comes, I endeavor to endeavor.

then he lead us to the error: we were thinking in calories, but measured in joule,
so for the primitive experimental setup it was a very very good result,
just by not knowing what it would be.
Wish Richard was still with us. We need more Richard Feynman's.
somebody: you can't talk like everything you said is a quote
me: come here let me show you something...
They cut and pasted some of his quotes together
whenever I feel not okay i listen to this video and somehow it makes me feel calm i wished i had the chance to experience his wonderful lectures
are you a science student btw?
“Never doubt the thinking
Believer as he won’t doubt his own thoughts”.
Inspirational
Charlie Parker-Byron-Michalangelo-Bob Dylan-Bach etc..and Feynman: touched by a different sauce. TY RF-very moving. Your presence lives on in all humanists for eternity.
hate when such videos have romantic music.
its for people that wishes life was a movie. i writte such music, but certainly would putnut over real life event
+zagyex
was about to post the same thing. The words are brilliant enough, we don't need emotive music to tell us what to think.
+Colosphonium
Awwww I dunno.... your 'symphony for a toe-stubbing' is pretty apt for the purpose...
#Owee
Try 'Time' by Hans Zimmer with this. The combination is beyond beautiful
hate is not the solution
It's inspiring and beautiful, I hope that people understand that many concepts Feynman presents here are not unique and are somewhat timeless human concepts and it only holds back his point to have a rabid athesit (or irrational polytheistic) preconceptions will only harm an individuals own growth in knowledge and understanding and add ugliness to what is and should remain a beautiful pursuit.
I haven't seen a greater mathematician, I haven't seen a greater physicst, I haven't seen a greater thinker.. Feynman hats off🌳🌲🌳
I haven't seen him..
People should be like him, not frightened of not knowing the answers than knowing the wrong ones and believing it to be true! I think I follow his way of thinking which is doubting and questioning the very fundamentals or the so called rotten or stale theories. It takes courage to say you don’t know anything or you’ll die knowing nothing.
the guy was just too obsessed with peeling onions for eternity lol what a waste of time
don't be a loser like him, you should try to guess what you're gonna have in a mangosteen without peeling it away whatsoever
it's obvious that onions aren't the only relevant fruits that we have
I have a picture of him on the wall of my bedroom.
My respect for him is immense, just because of this video. I don't even have to invoke his discoveries in quantum electrodynamics to crush all critics. His thoughts value more than all the thoughts of all theologians and ordinary people.
Are you right about “the thoughts of all theologians and ordinary people”? So you hint that you are not ordinary but extraordinary, at least to yourself and maybe your mom.
Is he nude? The difference between knowledge and wisdom is suffering..............Falun Dafa
This man is truly one of the main foundations of Science, if we ever develop ourselfs as a structualy intelectual society that are free from the diseases of the humans that we still painfully see today, he is going to be studied as our Socrates of the 20th century.
I love this interview. He's humble, and admit that even with all his knowledge, he don't know 'anything'. And he's not afraid of it. "I think it's much more interesting"
One of his lines from this interview that we didn't hear in this clip.
Humble like Einstein but don't challenge them on their theories or you will see the lion come out.
What fascinates me.. simply baffles me.. & makes me wonder in this world.. is how can someone gives this video a thumbs down! That baffles me..
A great Choice of music. and this video still shakes the core out of me whenever I remember it.
What a speech ....if only every human being on this earth could think like you sir ,world would be a peaceful place to live in.....truly !!
Wow, I'm so sorry it's taken me so long to discover these wonderful words from this amazing man.
Thank you Dr Rich Feynman, curiosity in thr knowledge of the Universe, is very well expressed. I've read your Books, listened to your Lectures & still find you absolutely Brilliant. I always wanted to meet you , just to say Thank you , for your work in Quantum Physics, Quantum Mechanics! . 💔♥️🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟☄☄☄☄☄✨🕯✡🇬🇧
Beautiful summary of a great physicist, that inspired many of us. I am a theoretical physicist and my own approach to elementary particle physics owes a lot to him. Please correct his date of birth, it is 1918, not 1908.
Thank you, I realised his Date of Birth was incorrect, as well. I admire this genius of a man; as it appears he was rather a Mentor to you in your early years . Fascinating. ☄🕯🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🇬🇧💔
The difference between knowledge and wisdom is suffering..............Falun Dafa
Agreed about the music. Amazing that all you need to know to start your journey is said within 90 seconds.
“Nature is there and she’s gonna come out” - Richard Feynman. 🌚
The way she is.
The way she is.
I like the black smiley ☺️
Its beautiful that it has stayed at 69 even after 2 years!!!
🌚🌚🌚🌚🌚🌚🌚🌚🌚🌚
I've seen a lot of Feynman clips but none that showcase his greatness like this one.
"I have approximate answers and possible beliefs and different degrees of certainty about different things. But I'm not absolutely sure of anything, and there are many things I don't know anything about, such as whether it means anything to ask why we're here, and what the question might mean. I might think about it a little bit; if I can't figure it out, then I go onto something else. But I don't have to know an answer. I don't feel frightened by not knowing things, by being lost in the mysterious universe without having any purpose, which is the way it really is, as far as I can tell"
Perfect
I loved the sparkling vision in his eyes when his Genius saying "Lost in mysterious Universe..."
Could listen to him talk for hours, such an inspirational man.
Man is no one gonna comment on the fact that this dude got Richard Feynman's year of birth wrong. 1918 not 1908 dude!
He was a great philosopher because, not only did he have a great understanding of the universe, but also a great understanding of the human perspective of it.
"I'd hate to die twice. It's so boring."
Richard Phillips Feynman
Aubrey de Grey: we will fikth ayedthing tho everybody will have a t-thoith, when do they want to die
Only few can reach the state of not knowing through knowledge. The secret of universe can be known only by not knowing. This sense of not knowing which we all have neglected. The bliss of truth comes out of this if we are ready to accept it's presence.
Brilliantly brilliant!!
He put in indirectly and in a few words the wittgensteinian "paradox of the (flawed) amazement in front of the universe's existence"
The difference between knowledge and wisdom is suffering..............Falun Dafa
What a joy is to hear these words again
"I think it's much more interesting to live not knowing than to have answers which might be wrong." - Simple brilliance.
Why did I cry? And why is his smile so kind!!!
Here's something to ponder: because of the "incompleteness" of our sentience, there are things that we THINK we know that are absolutely wrong, no matter how infinitesimal of importance these things are.
how passionate , curious and energetic he was at that age of his life ....I am really amazed what a genius
I am just 25 I cant feel that way .....
LOVE this man's perspective!!!!
Yes - inspirational.
Simple extra-ordinaire . Curiosity of nature , doubts, uncertainties and things we don’t know - I cried .
Ah yes, I remember this, the speech Feynman gave just before he lead his men into battle. The music is fitting.
He is one of my inspirations to become a physics researcher. Got my bachelors and masters in physics. Now, I am on the verge of quitting. I don't blame anyone but myself.
Thank you for this great video
Feynman's enthusiasm is so beautiful to behold
"I think its much more interesting to live not knowing than to live knowing something that might be wrong"
Richard Feynman
One of Feynmann´s best moments, in my opinion.
I can't believe the music bothered so many people! I didn't even notice it until I started reading all the comments.
Right? I didn't notice it at all, I was so engrossed in what he was saying
#MeToo
Little Cry Babies that get triggered for a little nuisance instead of apreciating Mr. Feynman
Yeah exactly
try it with headphones on. The music is very prominent (at least to me) then.
so bizarre watching this video which was recorded many many years ago and find out ones self sharing the same views with this legend about uncertainty and how it sets human conciousness free and all thats left is absolute openness to any probability in this universe. salute my friend.
''I can live with doubt and uncertainty and not knowing, I think its much more interesting to live not knowing than to have answer which might be wrong.'' Height of intellectuality..I salute you..
Silly. The difference between knowledge and wisdom is suffering..............Falun Dafa
"I can live with doubt & uncertainty ... It does'nt frightend me ... (!)" ... what a man, what a great physicist! Dear Prof. Feynman, we miss you badly!
I don't have a lot of heros, but this man is one.
Well put. He hints at our problem. We have confused science with scientism. We declare the use of science at all costs, as if science is our only frame of reference. Whatever problems we have now will not be solved by science. They are a problem of perception. We use science as an enabler to avoid looking at our own failing belief system. Mystery is important. In fact, it's unavoidable.
What a statement: _I know it would be much more interesting without knowing than have answers which might be wrong_
"But whatever way it comes out -- nature is there and she's going to come out the way she is! And therefore when we go to investigate it, we shouldn't pre-decide what it is we're trying to do except to find out more about it"
This idea is the real conscience of science. GOAT
There's a typo in the text of the video, it says 1908-1988 however Feynman was born in 1918
"Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution."
Got dayum. That star wars music gets to me every time.
Never heard of this man before. Thanks for sharing.
Oh, what profound and delightful knowledge and insight awaits you should you follow down the Richard Feynman rabbit hole……
Now is a great time to get to know of his accomplishments.
Please take the music away. Do we really need that? The words are symphony themselves...
yes it seems to me that his mind is completely open. I think many of us have had a moment, a brief flash, enlightenment, or enlightenment in dealing with a situation. I would say that in this light, in this glow of insight, he found himself very often, if not permanently.
one of my life role models
Maybe if you still like this, you will be his partners in hell !
Sayed Elghairb Found the crazy guy.
I studied classical lit and philosophy in graduate school. And I went into it seeking answers. By the time I was finished, I'd realized that -- though now equipped with some of the most important and complex insights of the Western Canon -- I still had so many more questions. And that, it turned out, was okay. The desire to pursue knowledge is inescapable, fortunately. But the full acquisition of it is destined to elude us. We are designed to be uncertain. And that's okay. I think that's exactly what Feynman is saying here, and I'm relieved to hear him confirm it.
I can live with uncertainty and not knowing, that would be much more interesting ......than having answers that might be wrong.
Feynman videos always raise my vibrations
To be honest I didn't even hear the music until it was brought up lol...I was so engulfed listening to his words it drowned out everything else...
hope we have more of these gems be born every year to enlighten us for generations to come.
Richard Feynman is a magnificent orator when it comes to quantum mechanics; primarily using metaphors and analogies instead of physics jargon, so to masses can comprehend the ambiguity, uncertainty and unpredictability of the quantum world. I've been reading up a-lot on quantum entanglement, the complementarity principle and the theory of uncertainty. The schrodinger's cat experiment is an intriguing analogy to explain the superposition paradox between particles.
Mr Pregnant - Atelston Fitzgerald Holder 1st That's easy for you to say. ;-) As a non-scientist but devoted groupie, I appreciate simple simon explanations, except from simpletons, of course - ha ha. I loved reading your blast of, I guess what you call, physics jargon, in the midst of all this love chatter. Made me pay attention and made me chuckle.
This man was Simply Simply Simply Genius.....a precious gift of nature to humanity
I've always loved Feynman. please don't ruin his words with sappy music.
These words to me are a sweet, sweet song I've been humming but never heard the lyrics till now. Appreciation abounds
Feynman was a genius.
Just to digest what he said in this video requires a lot knowledge ....
You need a certain level intellectual capacity to what this genius was saying ....
Amazing speech sir ...
We love you
We miss you
In every generation ...there’s always a few brilliant individuals ...change the world with their scientific discoveries ..
Dr Feynman happen to be one ...of them !
the first thing that you notice about Faynman is that he is a person. First a person, second scientist. He is unusual in many ways: thankful, smiling, strong, convincing....if I was a girl.....ok I will stop now...
You are a girl
He could dance and was quite popular with the ladies, too.
Bilbo Baggins you are a hobbit, Bilbo.
@@nischay4760 it's true. I still have the one ring. Shhhh
gayy
"It doesn't frighten me"...Thanks Dr Feynman
I love him very much. He is very intelligent. A genius!! I wantto a physicist like him :))
I've only recently come across this man Richard Feynman but I have quickly fallen in love with his mind. What a great mind 😃
That music makes me all teary eyed and makes me wanna kiss somebody. I'm sure Feynman said some things that were very interesting too, but I wasn't paying attention..
I think it is much more interesting to be uncertain and not knowing rather than to have wrong answers. Wow. Incredible.
a one off a truly fantastic man so intelligent and so right. could teach anyone anything he wants one of the greatest ever
I really like Richard's attitude toward life. What a wonderful man.
Why are so many people complaining about the music? Why were you listening to the music? HOW were you? Richard Feynman was talking!
There ya go!
True that...
Adhd,asd,like me 😁
I like the music!!! sets a mood.
Love the guy but lose the cheesy background music. It stands very well without it.
I was about to post this comment !
Not knowing and uncertainty...I wish I could share in this wisdom from the great Feymann. Of course he's right, but that dosn't make me feel any better. We want to, and I want to, manipulate our world around us. So we can find solutions and answers to deal with our challenges. To solve the riddles of Medicine and uneven distribution of wealth. To solve the meaning of who and how gets what where and when, to understanding why our world is the way it is. But apparently, these are all questions we were never intended to fully know and uncertainty rules all that is around us. Hopefully someday I too will come to ease with this notion, but until that day comes, I endeavor to endeavor.
