To think he was born 102 years ago, feels like this was filmed last week. A 20th century genius.
His thinking is timeless.
What part made you think last week
Learn the work of Gauss and Riemann and you'll know the meaning of genius

A good education can change anyone
A good teacher can change everything
Best comment I’ve seen In ages
A great teacher is one who makes his students more successful than he was.
@@charlesdarwin5185 🤣🤣🤣
Not necessarily. For a start "success" is an entirely subjective concept outside of any given context.
A great teacher inspires students to be the best they can at that particular subject, which is irrelevant to the "success" of the teacher. The teacher's success is in teaching, and the students aren't necessarily going to become teachers. Also, the teacher might very well be a woman. 😉
A good student will learn from a rock. Dont depend on others, make yourself a great student :)

I tell myself "I'm trying" and I don't compare myself to others , I hate pressure
Compare with yourself,if not you will go back to zero, like i am right now, pressure is good for improvement,stress is bad
Same bro...I guess everyone is just trying and I hope we just become the better versions of ourselves.
Same
Idk but I think taking a little pressure is actually quite good for us, as it pushes us forward, though as you have pointed out nobody likes taking pressure (as a human nature), and so we need to create a balance (and that depends on person to person, like Michael Jordon loves to take risks and pressure,and taking things pressure as it motivates him)
Well, if I may participate, the bottom line is not pressure or stress ... it interest, determination or perseverance, passion for the field of study, patience and ...hard work will come naturally.
Don't just study for exam , study to understand,study to apply ,study to know the things not everybody knows

this hits really close to home. At my univdersity I was the best in the class. And people sometimes asked my how i did it, I just said "i sit down and think about it until it makes sense, it can be hours, it can be months, it can be never, but if you want to understand you have to TRY to understand". They would just go "oh you are really talented, I could never do that", which felt like an excuse. It was so frustrating spending hours trying to understand seemingly unimportant details about a subject, and when I finally understood it people waved it away by saying "oh, he is soo smart". It's something that still frustrates me.
Don't be bothered. People that really invest themselves even in their free time are quite rare. Moreover, you probably know very well that there is a difference between the logic of what people say and what they actually want and feel. You contradict them very logically because you are right, but they won't act on it or change their belief because that's not what they actually want to do (I mean, they don't want to invest more than that and it's ok, investing is a sacrifice).
"There's no such thing as MIRACLE"
He's also wrong on this count. Life itself is a miracle. It didn't just happen by natural chance. Reproduction is a miracle - how a baby with functioning brain, eyes, ears, self-awareness and so on are formed is a miracle. The universe is a miracle, with mathematically precise laws of nature. So while self-help is nice, it becomes something else entirely when it turns into worshipping self. We will all face God / Jesus Christ for a lifetime of lying, stealing, lusting, hating, coveting, idolizing, blaspheming and more. And there are only two religions in the world: countless versions of "DO this or that and you (might) be saved from coming judgment" or God / Jesus Christ's truth of "it is DONE on the cross, our sin has been paid for, and we can receive that priceless gift by faith - just believing on the Lord Jesus Christ".
*"For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast."*
Ephesians 2:8-9
*"Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour;"*
Titus 3:5-6
They don't understand bc they never have done it. Never pushed themselves like that, neither have I tbh I'm trying to. My dad has always told me that, he wasn't the smartest but he worked his ash off.
Just like drawing, or just about anything.
We call these people “peasants” the peasant mindset persists. People LOVE to give themselves excuses
You don't need to be focused while studying, you just need to be relaxed, chilled, understand and enjoy what you are studying.
When one has a test in school, one is always told by the teachers "Ok two weeks until the test, be sure to study hard" or something like that. But that's simply not the way it really works. I never "study" for school, in fact I never really learned anything in school. When I study Maths or Physics by myself it's as you've put it, *relaxing* . I really want to learn this I really want to put my time into this. This is the single one thing in my opinion that school *really doesn't understand* .

The best part about Feynman's personality is how he seemed to be somebody who had managed to keep his inner child alive,despite being one of the finest intellectuals of the recent past. His smile and enthusiasm depicts it in this video ❤
I heard he played the bongo and did math in strip clubs. Ofc he was someone who was enthusiastic and fun.
He was a piece of shit as a human being. Horrible moral compass and self absorbed. But yes he was smart, big deal.
@@Herp234 true, I have a huge love-hate feeling towards him. he's obviously a great physicist but I just can't stand him as a person
@@Herp234 Proof?
@@Herp234 as Brando said - the talent is separate from the person. Talent falls on great souls and complete jerks. It’s totally random
When a genius thinks he is ordinary, one thing comes to mind.
The biggest problem in this world is that the intelligent people are full of doubt, while the stupid ones are full of confidence.
~Charles Bukowski
"Genius" is a relative term. I, like Feynman, hate such concept. We all have a brain, and we wire it as we learn and grow. If (and that's a big if) we want to learn and are willing to study for a time, we will excel and inevitably become more able. To others we will be "geniuses" but that's just a lie. It's like comparing a bodybuilder to an ordinary person tbh, he's no "genius body", he just trained and was willing to train hard enough duh!

With all my respect to Richard Feynman, I think he wasn't "ordinary" student- in fact he taught himself integral functions and calculus at age 13 and started study physics at the age of 17 in MIT. Honestly, I'd like to be "ordinary" in that level xD
Passion
Feynman best quotes
ruclips.net/video/WzWtqdrhCkk/видео.html
That what he is telling he has worked hard in that he didn't got to know all that automatically when children of his age were busy in some other stuffs he was busy studying.
He was so passionate about physics and maths, when he was at uni if he woke up randomly in the middle of the night he would do some maths to pass the time (source: Surely you're joking Mr Feynman). If you were doing maths that often you would eventually become "talented".
I think you can argue he's exceptional to have such a curious and driven mind though.
Yeah but the point still stands that you or anyone could have learned that stuff as well. It might take a bit more time but you can do it
I pray whoever read this will be successful, keep fighting for success, the rich stay rich by spending like the poor and investing while the poor stay poor by spending like the rich yet not investing, roar!!, invest, earn and be successful.
Talking about been successful. I think I'm blessed because if not I wouldn't have met someone who is as spectacular as Hanna macko
indeed she's an expert
All thanks to my aunty who introduced her to me
I think for poeple to talk all this good about her she must be an expert, please how can get intouch with her.
I've seen many recommendations about Mrs Hanna macko , her strategies and consistent. I think this is the right time to give it a try.
Bro you learned calculus when you were 13. You might were born ordinary, but you were raised not ordinary in the slightest.
Bro I don't think it's creates a very big difference. Every science student in india studies calculus by the time he's 15 or 16. A 2 or 3 year difference doesn't create a big impact.
@@shravanm7131 true
Ye, he is talking rubbish as he sometimes is if he isn't talking about physics.
No lying is
@Atharv salgaonkardoing calculus and understanding calculus are two different things.
I'm reading the book "Surely you're joking Mr. Feynman" these days and I always hear his voice inside my head whenever I read it😄😋
It happened with me too. I wantedly studied it very slow.
A truly fascinating book and glimpse of the mind of a very extraordinary individual.
It is one of the most amazing things I have come across ever...the book❤️
@@jimwallington437 You mean ordinary individual who studied hard?
Always curious. Always wanting to figure it out for himself. Doing pranks, enjoying good drinks and company of beautiful women, playing bongo drums...What an amazing human being. May we strive to live life even half as good as Dick Feynman.
I like how he is excited and energized while talking about these things.
Things become interesting when you meet people who are intrested in those things.

Is that you or Mr bean?
The way I see his point is, that we all are capable of great success within the scientific fields, however to reach your potential you have to be driven by a passion and dedication. Its true that we all learn things at a different rates, however if you do have a great passion for a certain subject you will put a great deal of effort to understand and learn it, at least thats how I interpret his words.
absolutely beautiful comment & it’s so very true 😊
Well said.
@@madyjules06 nah dont believe what he says, u need a high IQ to be successful in the scientific field!
@@jake9854 Mentality of the weak.
One correction. He described himself as an ordinary person. Some people are blithering idiots. They are not ordinary people. So, when you say we are all capable of great success in science, you are not saying what he said.
Nope. Normal people can't reason out how to fix electronics in grade school. It is an early sign of genius. He had never not been a genius so he thought he was normal as he had no frame of reference. I guess he just thought everyone else was lazy. Wouldn't it be great if that were true? If all you had to do to be a genius is work hard? Saddly, without an incredible memory and ability to synthesize new ideas from existing work, the most you can hope for is to make meaningful contributions to your field. You are unlikely to change the world. But you can definitely change your life at least. That is worth the effort.
Richard Feynman always looks like he's about to burst a joke and trying not to laugh
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂
😆
😃
"I'm an ordinary person who worked hard."
Even dead, mr Feynman keeps making silly jokes.
Good one!
True that..
But he did work really hard. He devoted his life to thinking about physics. I think that explains the majority of his deep understanding. Most other people just don't put in that much time and hard work into thinking about physics. Maybe he had some special talent or luck on top of that. We don't actually know.
Just imagine doing physics every day for several hours. Concepts that you found difficult 2 years ago will suddenly feel familiar. So familiar that you don't have to look up anything and so familiar that it's easy to explain a lot of aspects, do the math etc.
It's like practicing a certain dance every day. You'll get more and more familiar with it until it becomes almost automatic and certain things just become easy and you can build on top of those skills to reach higher levels.
Neurons across all humans are largely identical if they are healthy.
And they wire as soon as you invoke information.
That's the recipe.
The only difference between an ordinary man and an extraordinary man, is that the ordinary man thinks himself lesser
He is so Fineman
Ya bro
Hmm, I have to disagree. some people's brains that are wired differently that can comprehend things at a whole new level. Regardless of how "hard" you study or your passion.
That act of studying hard is not ordinary tho :/
damn he looks like he could play the joker role perfectly
He'd be like:
*Do you wanna know how I calculated this integral?*
exactly what i was thinking
let me show you a magic trick :)
Sounds like goblin Willem Dafoe kinda
Fun Fact: Feynman actually did small magic shows :v
Feynman was amazing and down to earth. He was a simple guy and a Nobel prize. He was funny and he worked on the Manhattan project. Played de bongoes and developed quantum mechanics. We can learn so much from this guy.
My bro used to see him on Caltech campus in the mid '80's but by then bro had switched from physics to (of all things) economics, so he didn't have any direct interactions with him. Obviously a celebrity for many of us.
I’ve always wanted to play the bongoes
It's all relative. From his point of view, he was just ordinary and studied hard, while most everyone else was an idiot and lazy. But from the point of view of the rest of us, he was a genius and an over-achiever.
Exactly, let's not pretend that anybody could work within the field of quantum physics if they only studied hard enough. That's simply not true.
@@marcusbrsp I accept this and am happy about it. If we all had the same abilities, this world would truly be a boring place.
The point is that he realized that he knew what he didn't know and he though that he was ordinary because of that .so he learn deeper and work harder .
@@marcusbrsp That's because "study hard" means shit nothing if taken alone. He was only different in the fact that he was *willing* to devote a lot of time in understanding WHILE studying hard. Thus, I can study hard enough all I want but I would never understand shit if I'm not willing to understand. THAT is what he meant by "willing to devote a lot of time". That's a big difference
@@ldx8492 sure, IQ is completely irrelevant.
Of course it is hard work, however, it helps a little if your IQ is well over 130.
I.Q. is like money; the only people who say it doesn't matter are people who have lots of it.

@@maurovijverman861 Based on what? Feynman was one of the most brilliant mids of the last century.
@@Peter-tx5dj He said it himself
Let me tell u something about hardwork. I have adhd so focusing on things is impossible for me. My dyslexia makes sure my language pretty medicore and that of a 10 year old . So this whole idea that hardwork gets u places is far from the reality. Let me tell u what u reality is. It's as complex and uncertain, unstable as the process that lead to the formation of nucleotides and ancient RNA , in the deep trenches of vast platonic oceans on a quicent earth. No one knows how carbon molecules woke up one day and were like..
I think I'll be stable if I do this . The ph, the temperature, everything had to be perfect in order for these molecules appear one day right ? So that's life too. Some guy who was as brillant as Einstein might have died due to famine, war or disease or a congenial condition or in the womb or a fetus Einstein could have been aborted. Someone who could have been Feynman might have ended up as an addict and died at 19. Anyone who tells u that hardwork the key to success or iq is the key are just taking about one factor that lead to their succes. It's as ridiculous as me trying to make quicent RNA in my basement by maintaining the right pH and not giving an f about any other factor.
that being said will I give up on cooking my own RNA
Nah cause
Wouldn't it be great if I did ?
Ps Everything is a miracle, the sheer possibly that a genome evolved with the perfect amount of mutations, epigenetic changes to make u is rare. The sheer Possibly that we all exist is rare. The sheer possibly that u stumbled upon this video and reading this comment is rare. So ponder over how rare it is that u, nothing but a set of nucleotides which was once confined to a single cell which multipled over god knows how many times to make u, who will eventually die at some point making the genome that made u extinct.
😮
That's a great discourse
I was skeptical that you actually had dyslexia until I started reading the next paragraph.
You points out that iq and industriousness aren't the only factors leading to success and I agree with that
However, though luck has been the greatest factor of what predicts you, I certainly believe that industriousness, conscientiousness and IQ can increase one's chances of getting closer to his/her own set-up goal, of course there are things that are unchangeable which immediately excludes you out of the domain however there's more to choose from and the possibilities of outcome will permeate like roots enough for one a lifetime to have hope and at least do what he/she can to increase his/her odds at doing on the REALISTICALLY field he/she is in.
Good comment tho.
One of the few comments that makes sense. Others are just spewing motivational bullshit repeating what they saw in RUclips videos and what made them feel good. And pet themselves on the back despite having achieved nothing substantial in life and being a living evidence that we all have different brains with different capacities :)
Feynman was in all respects an intellectual heavyweight, but he’s right in this regard, you don’t have to be on track to a PhD by the time your 20 to make a contribution or understand physics, you just have to love it so much your willing to spend most of your time doing it. Makes me think of Leonard Susskind, who at at 27, with a newborn child, went into physics and is now one of the most respected physicists in the world. These two men give me hope.
sorry to disappoint but Susskind had a PhD in theoretical physics by the time he was 25 so not sure what you are implying here?
The music is really distracting
Ordinary people are not willing to spend an inordinate amount of time studying math and science.

"The only difference between a genius and a fool is hardwork"-A wise man
Richard's IQ was 125, guys. He was above average, but not even gifted. So yeah, it was fair to say he was an ordinary person :D
By saying that you realize he is also saying it is also a bunch of crap you realize that also if you believe he is inherently smarter than you then why would you argue
I think that was just a reflection of the limits of the test and its too narrow view of intelligence. Feynman was clearly a prodigy and a genius.
@WilshirecityBlues-It's just silly. An IQ test is merely an attempt to quantify intelligence, but they have obvious limitations. The idea that an alleged score on a school IQ test overrides clear evidence of towering genius is absurd.
@WilshirecityBlues You speak of Feynman like he was some sort of god. He was highly intelligent, and its obvious that IQ tests simply weren't able to properly quanitfy his intelligence, but he's still just a man.
No chance.
He won a Putnam competition with 120/120.
Minimum IQ: 170
I work in the same field as Feynman, and met a lot of people who knew him. Suffice it to say there was nothing ordinary about him. He was so outrageously fast, he could do calculations in a few nights that would take normal theorists many months to puzzle through. He loved to pretend that it was all due to his system of thinking and nothing about his talent and mind.
You're limited to your own thinking and your mindset. But the passion and the quality time Feynman devoted to achieve this level I assure most people don't. Think as Cristiano Ronaldo - a normal guy who in his late teenage decided to be the best of his generation and devoted his entire sports life to do so, even after fame and fortune. Most pro players spend the same time training as he since late teens, but the quality and focus of this time during training is hell of an abysm of difference. Also, the mindset and discipline play an important role.
I wish I could do same
Yep. One of the most brilliant men of the past century.
@@kenhimurabr nah he just has superior genetics. There are plenty of people who probably worked harder, smarter and for longer than him but never got to where he is because they just didn't have the natural ability.

What a beautiful way to put it... Bet you are really intelligent too unlike me
Feynman’s intellect was definitely not ordinary. He was an extremely capable guy who also studied and worked extremely hard. Not ordinary by any means.
School gives you dots but never connect them.
People like him are actually really rare and by no means ordinary. You obviously need a lot of luck and very hard work but at the end that's not what makes the difference. Still it's always better to have as many people as possible working working on a problem, doesn't matter if they are geniuses or ordinary or just clever or working hard and memorizing everything or whatever.
I Don't Want To Be A Genius.I Work Hard Eveyday And Try To Become A Better Version Of Myself I Was Till The Day Before.A Bit Of Improvement Everyday Helps Me Get A Bulk Of Knowledge.
I've always liked Feynman, but this is one instance where he was completely full of shit. He was obviously very gifted, especially as it relates to mathematics and logical problem solving, and he even says as much when he talked about teaching himself calculus, trying to explain it to his father, and him feeling disillusioned upon learning that his father who'd taught him so much was "so limited".
If anyone could be Einstein, everyone WOULD be Einstein. If anyone could be Michael Jordon, everyone WOULD be Michael Jordon. The idea that one's success is exactly proportional to the amount of effort they put into something is nonsense. You can work harder than anyone else, and do EVERYTHING right, and STILL lose. That's just life.
In this case, Feynman was just correctly advocating for hard work, adding some feel-good schmaltz just for effect, and doing a bit of humble bragging along the way. He KNEW what he was capable of, and he KNEW what most people weren't capable of. Why do you think he constantly challenged people in contests of thinking rather than contests of fighting?
Kinda odd that missed the structure of his success, but you cannot be genius in everything.
It doesn't matter what you are doing or how intelligent you are or how much IQ you have or whether you are born will talents...... The only thing matters is that are you doing the thing you love? Are you doing something that you deeply believe that it is what i am born for? That's what only matters......... Most people end up doing something just to earn a living..... One day everyone have to die, then why not invest this life into something worthwhile and doing something we love!! 😊😊

@@saldownik maybe you are right.... But the one who has guts to write his /her own luck, he/she will be the one who changes the world 😉
I think he is making a more profound observation than that. He obviously knows that there are individual differences, what he is speculating on is why there might be individual differences. You would be surprised to know that the science of this is not well understood. The biological underpinings of IQ (and intelligence in general) is very poorly understood. So while we know there are individual differences in IQ there is no biological mechanism that explains why these differences exist. Hence Feynmann saying he is venturing into the realm of psychology. He was really formulating a scientific hypothesis.
I dont agree..!!. Genius is by birth not something you acquire over the years
Yes but no. According to a study, there are people who’s born a genius and there are also those who worked hard and become a genius. The one’s who are born a genius are more to have a disability be it mentally or physically compared to those who worked hard
No dude.. You're wrong here.. sometimes the stupid ones, and I mean the ones who are born stupid, really make a difference and turn their insanity into success

He was also very defiant - Paul Dirac basically snubbed the idea of a feasible Quantum Field Theory in his face, to which Feynman turned around and provided a body of work in the subject that won him the Nobel.
Anything you learn about, break it down. Multiplication is merely repeated addition, division repeated subtraction. Prime factorization can be extremely helpful when dealing with large number division. 2s cancel each other, 3s cancel each other, 5s, 6s, etc. and so on. Understanding anything at the tiniest level means you understand the basics. However, you have to be curious. Need it as a formula? Genius Level = Curiousity of the material * Free time dedicated to it. That's it. For those of you that hate math, see it as a prediction. You can predict when something will happen, right? Math does the same thing. The little mental hacks you use, like how you can get that special deal at such and such place on Friday's, that's a prediction. That's all formulas are, and all they ever have been. They are rules we use to guage aspects of the world around us. Understand that, and you will become so much better at math.
The child like innocence in his eyes, the joy exuding from him and the power behind his words ,clearly makes this man from a different realm.Just listening to him is such a sheer pleasure .
He thinks everyone can because he can. I know there are endless possibilities but some people can’t just do something.
I will be best neurosurgeon
Great man. Love his passion for physics and how he talks about how physicists might think about physics. There's a realness and honesty how he always wants to connect to the abstract and make it accessible. Not many physicists do that.
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
4:27 They will turn blue Lmao he is even having great comic timing.
THE BEST TEACHER WE'VE NEVER HAD
Yea I don’t believe this. He was probably quite a bit above the average level of intelligence
High IQ helps
Lol no
Richard Feynman is my all time favorite physicist and inspired me to pursue my passion for physics. I'm sure he worked extremely hard, and I think he fails to recognize a huge contributor to his success was his upbringing.
He was fortunate to have a scientifically minded father that instilled in him a sense of curiosity and wonderment for the natural world. His dad nurtured this curiosity and encouraged him to be the way he is.
Most geniuses or highly successful people all have something in common. They had a mentor to foster their growth. From Floyd Mayweather to Albert Einstein.

@@Clyde lol who needs
exactly - I believe that most people can learn all sorts of stuff if they put their minds to it, but the drive and passion needed to do so doesn’t come out of nowhere.
Sure! anybody can elaborate path integral formulation of quantum mechanics, the theory of quantum electrodynamics, the physics of the superfluidity of supercooled liquid helium.. piece of cake
That's totally wrong. People ARE in fact born with talent. Mr. Feynman wasn't ordinary in any way. If you think that you don't know about his life. No ordinary man can do what he did. By this logic we can also argue Albert Einstein was ordinary. Even gifted people would say Albert Einstein was gifted beyond anything.
It sounds very motivating to say these things..but the truth is..there is such a thing as gift. You may toil all your life away and yet won't be as successful as a talented person. Of course luck is another thing. Again true..
Accept these things as soon as you can. Don't have unrealistic expectations from yourself.
So u mean I have to study hard😕😕
@@bestcreation3214 He means to say you will never reach where they are because of iq differences even when you study hard. Well, he isn't wrong.
This is debatable.. 🤔
Warning: Butt hurt, 1300+ SAT scorer comments below ↓↓↓
Hahaha
I'm re-reading "Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman!" and there's a lot in there about the guy's dad. I'd love to see more studies of his dad, who had a huge role in how he turned out.
Yes Dr. Feynman you were an ordinary guy with a brilliant IQ (although it was allegedly said to be 125 but that's the cumulative score, which was weighed down by the verbal IQ score in your case)
You were one of the highest scorers on the Putnam Test! That's not very "ordinary" is it? I can't even say if I'll be able to merely get a passing grade on it!
You won a BLOODY NOBEL PRIZE FFS!
So, my Idol, You were exceptional, you were just too humble to admit it (or dunning Kruger effect maybe?)
I guess the point he was making is that anyone diligent and interested enough can become a great science given the opportunities which I think is probably true
"Gifted" is a relative term. I, like Feynman, hate such concept. We all have a brain, and we wire it as we learn and grow. If (and that's a big if) we want to learn and are willing to study for a time, we will excel and inevitably become more able. To others we will be "geniuses" but that's just a lie. It's like comparing a bodybuilder to an ordinary person tbh, he's no "genius body", he just trained and was willing to train hard enough duh! He was exceptional YES, but not because of a godsend miracle wiring in his brain, HE wired himself! He was exceptional because he was willing to study long and hard because he simply liked the stuff he was studying... no more no less. He said it himself, he's just a man who was willing to study
@@ldx8492 yes, I agree with the point you made about getting better at a particular field by diligently working towards your goal. There are a lot of professions in which what you said makes sense, but when it comes to giftedness, it indeed is objective because we have the most reliable test to predict and measure giftedness in all of social sciences and that is IQ. It is not true that people with lower IQs can't learn tougher topics like rocket science but, if you have an IQ of 100 then it'll take you 10 years to be able to do the most basic stuff that a person with 140 IQ can do in an year or so. IQ is the measure of how fast you can reach somewhere, so realistically if you want to become the best rocket scientist you gotta have an IQ of 160 or higher, because there already are people with 140 IQs working flat out non stop to dethrone you from your title... so no matter how hard you try a person with 100 IQ can not become a rocket scientist, because of the same logic. But I agree with you that you can learn and get better at anything you want, the only difference is how much time it'll take and how smart (IQ) and diligent the competition is, relatively speaking.

There is no such thing as talent ? That is a rubbish statement. When 100s of people show up to try out for some sporting event or for some performing art....do you think the winner simply worked harder than everybody else ?
I am not as good a guitarist as Slash, but I have a moderate ability to listen to a song and play it instinctively, so do all of my sibblings. Many people I speak to in music class, cannot do this, or require LOTS more theory knowledge to do this....obviously its a talent.
I would never look at people who failed to succeed at getting a movie part, or didn't make the cut for some Athletics meet...and tell them "there's no such thing as talent"....
Yup, that's a very precise way of how you showed the issue
Speed of learning requires talent. Feynman has a gift.
@Farrier
Anybody can do what he did he said. That's obviously not true.
@@toadpossum6668 Just because someone can is not a guarantee they will do, there can be thousands of reasons, mostly due to self loathing and poor self esteem. The key is to keep going no matter what
Thats practice. Everything comes from practice. Nothing else
Yes but training your brain allows you to increase the speed of your ability to retain information and solve problems.
@@Squash101 not really
Correct me if i am wrong,
Faynman wants us to learn by proper picturing (imagination).
+
Know the basic science
+
Practice it frequently
did i get it right?
I see alot of comments on one side or the other of innate ability vs hard work. As a PhD student in physics, having tutored people, and having done research, I think there is some innate ability required. But I think Feynman's point is that most people greatly overestimate how much innate ability is required. I personally never did very well in school until I made the decision in college to take it seriously. And if you would have asked my teachers back then, many of them would have told you that I wouldn't amount to much. I still don't do well on standardized exams, and yet I completed my bachelor's with honors. So if the sacrifice of the time and effort are worth it to you, if you enjoy science, don't let people tell you that you can't succeed.
If an ordinary person can understand quantum mechanics imagine the possibilities of a genius.
An ordinary person spends 50% of his leisure time in social media chatting with girls/boys, the rest of spare time is used for entertainement (sex, drinks, relationships, friends). Therefore a normal working person does not have time or desire to study quantum mechanics. Only 1% of humanity is engaged in science, mental work. Remaining 99% are just consumers of natural resources, they don't do anything valuable for hummanity just consume like animals
@@highend9405 😅damn that's brutal
@@highend9405 your math blows my mind. And what makes you think that the geniuses or the “1%” don’t have relationships or sex? How is quantum mechanics the only thing contributing to humanity and making everyone useless consumers?
I mean he was intrested and studied very hard caus he loved it but I still belive that he could just understand it faster and his way of seeing things allowed him to grasp difficult concepts in such a way that he could not only understand them but also go further and build upon
Don’t take that literally, he is one very modest genius
Facts genius level iq, his brain is a work of art.
@@eduardocod8924 His IQ was 125. Not even considered gifted lmao.
@@weliveinasociety1154 he had an iq of 125, because of his verbal being average. If you read closely it is estimated that he had an genius level iq for abstracts thinking, which is why he was so good at math.
@@eduardocod8924 Ah, but still, he is kind of right. Perhaps you won’t win a Nobel Prize, but you can definitely be a physicist despite being average.
@@weliveinasociety1154 for sure with hard work and a iq of 110 is possible,
I feel sad for people who don’t believe in miracles!!!
Liar. One of the best physicists in the world. And he says he is ordinary.
He’s just kidding. Doesn’t matter how long you polish a brick, it does not turn into a diamond ... got it?
IQ is distributed on a bell shaped curve. When you are in second and third standard deviations to the right of normal you can grasp most of this stuff. Sure you may not go on to win Fields medal or Nobel prize, but even understanding 70%-80% of quantum mechanics and relativity will make you appreciate the blessing of human life.
But it has some carbon, and artificial diamonds can be made using great techniques(so method is of course different for different people). He is not just kidding.
@@daphenomenalz4100 of course hard work matters, , with a lot of hard work, even after I got a PhD in math, I still look like a nice and shining , well polished brick.
This man’s perception of intelligence perceives to be the most intelligent thing I’ve heard
Title has pretentious written all over it. I know you're trying to be humble, but you're essentially calling yourself a genius by not acknowledging that there are some lucky few with high intellect.
Yea but people's intelligence are not the same
For example people who have ADHD have challenges in concentration and memorization
Most of Feynman's research was obviously very technical, but he wrote one paper in 1957 on the theory of superfluid helium, that can be read and largely understood by any undergraduate. it's easy to find online, and it really shows how he thought about problems in physics and their solutions in the simplest, clearest terms. I highly recommend checking it out.
He was clearly not an "ordinary person", I remember reading that he took some quantitative aptitude test as a student and had the second highest score in the history of this test (or something ridiculous like that). He was basically of-the-charts gifted.
We'd like to invite you to our podcast as a guest ❣️💓
@@Clyde After a random comment? Why?
@mav45678 I knew he took an IQ test at school and scored 124 or 125 and in GRE his language score wasn't that great. 125 IQ is not even top 2% of population: it's a high score but it's not genius level. So I think he is pretty right in considering himself ordinary rather than extraordinary. I believe he built his talent in math and science by studying hard, intelligently, passionately, and in his own unique way : )
@@axor1038 That IQ score is self-reported. I've read a testimony of a guy who was Feynman's neighbor according to which he was extremely self-conscious about his perception and spent a ton of energy on maintaining an image of humble and playful genius. So I wouldn't be surprised if he made that 125 number up to make himself more interesting. I mean it's enough to read his autobiography to see how self-absorbed he was.
@@mav45678 I don't know if he made that up, it would be like telling a lie. Besides he was always into mathematics since he was a kid (like einstein who taught himself calculus at age 14 - 15), so for me it's likely that he developed a talent in it by studying a lot : )
Anyone can become good at something , but not every one can become great .
I thought that was Saul Goodman
I think a lot of the challenge with elevating young minds today is that they have too many choices and conveniences that compete for their passion and attention.
Think about Isaac Newton, who is arguably to me, the greatest physicist to ever live.
He accomplished so much at such a young age because he was totally devoted to science and math. He worked his butt off to learn Euclidean Geometry and use this for his framework of the heavenly bodies. He did a lot of his greatest work when confined to a space because his college closed down during the period of the plague. No girlfriend either. He devoted himself 100% to academics.
Imagine how hard it would be for him if he was a modern day youth with the Internet and video games and TV, etc.
He would be so fascinated by all these other things and that I think is the root of the problem with today’s youth.
We give them too much and too much choice limits one’s creativity.
I’m not saying technology is bad but there is something to be said for hardship and limitations and scarcity that fosters problem solving and creativity.
For majority, i agree too much choices is a distraction but it has other benefits like availablity of information so idk.
Who knows Newton if born in today's era would have got to playing online vedio games and never do something significant which he could have done otherwise. We don't know.
I agree but it has some benefits too
U are true bro. I can clearly relate what you are saying. Clearly thinking back in time, I find my childhood to be better than the present. Those times are golden.
Ok i lost it when he starts talking about physics and i realized im wrong here

Amazing! What a melodic expression at the moment “oh, I no nothing about it”.

I almost smashed my head when he said in a lecture at Caltech:
You don't need calculus or Fourier transforms to understand this concept except an infinite amount of intelligence.
This guy is magnificent
Those nonsense transforms only work if you beleive in the size of infinities anyway
Its just not clearly provable, as infinity cant exist in our finite universe
Ft is like saying a square is just a lot of ripples in reverse
And calculus: can you really be certain about an instantaeous rate of change, like ever?
@@henryholsten8802 These "nonsense transforms" are tools that people much smarter than you or me used to put together the devices we are communicating with.
Criticize them all you want; they work.
@@henryholsten8802 we dont know if universe is finite as it is expanding and we can just see the observable universe ,so no universe is not finite as it is growing
"If u think science is boring,ita not ur problem ,its ur teachers"
This is so true. We use only a small percentage of our mind. I thought I sucked at math, but I practice I got good. Now people are asking me for help.
Actually, the things that Mr. Feynman talks about have nothing to do with "an advice to students". You got it all wrong in the beginning. He was an ordinary person who got interest as he said and studied physics hard, not to make living. Me and most of the students that you are referring to usually studies things that they hate just to be able to make some money not to starve to death.
Is he singing? look at his rythm when he talks....and the flow of speech....
In the back of his mind some quantum neurons are playing the bongo's guiding the pacing of his words
Make no mistake, Feynman was a genius. Even his fellow scientists said the same thing.
I dont know if he was an ordinary man. I know for a fact that my IQ is not enough to study complex subjects like advanced physics. You need a certain talent for that.
A kid with down syndrome will never become a chess grand master no matter how hard he tries. This example is a bit extreme but it shows that you need the proper wiring for certain tasks.
Usain Bolt is just an ordinary guy ... he just worked real hard to run those world records. Lol. Surely you are joking Mr. Feynman. 😬
Feynman applying the Feynman technique with the car example. I love how powerful is to come up with the right example to explain something, I've noticed that my co-workers usually remember the examples I gave them instead of the actual documentation behind what they are doing, so I find myself continually thinking in the best example given the context of the person I'm explaining things instead of the actual concept I'm referring to... and it usually makes the difference. Is like what Addy Osmani says: "good coomunication takes the complex and filters it optimally for the target audience. It doen't leave anyone behind".
It's too * inspiring *...
I totally agree with this legend.... No one is born talented or God gifted like most of the people think... It's the effort that one puts makes him extraordinary... But noone knows about those hardships and effort... Cause they don't want to do the same themselves
Part of it is determined by what a person is interested in. We can not control that. It's our psychological make-up. Richard was born with this interest.
Well, I guess you, me and everyone else in this comment section never put in a lots of efforts, huh?
well spoken my friend
@@danopo i believe everyone is born with that same interest, it is now a matter of personal discovery...finding oneself is what matters and feynman did just that, he found himself
Actually, all really talented people never admit they are talented so that they don't become arrogant and lose focus.
