Lovely and humorous speech. RIP Dr. Joan Feynman (which passed away on July 21, 2020, aged 93)
"You all know about Richard, I just want to introduce me a little bit" ♡
Richard & Joan had a special father, we’ve a lot to thank him for.
What a wonderful woman - honestly, humorously - talking about her wonderful brother.
Adorable like her brother.
ok i am a sobby mess :')
feynman was one of my childhood nerd crushes growin up and...
i'm sobbing too. Feynman is a great source of inspiration and has influenced me a lot. Sad to learn Joan has passed away. Wish I could've met her at least.
RIP Ms.Joan, you were and are an incredible inspiration to scientists everywhere.
Another Jewish genius family. Absolutely amazing. I thoroughly enjoyed listening to every second of this.
I'm in tears both of them are legends
A very lovely and motivating speech which encourages Women and Men that No One can tell You You CANNOT DO IT!
as teenage girl this is very inspirational! 💜
Glow brightest between the heavenly stars.
RIP Richard Feyman
And now RIP Joan
Amazing family! I would be so honored by having children like Richard & Joan.
It was such an awesome speech by an awesome lady about her awesome brother
Great speech, great sense of humor. Many thanks.
Especially I enjoyed her humor at the beginning of her speech something like: "You all know Richard, let me introduce myself" xD
What a brilliant speech! She was also so sweet, just like her brother. May God be with them. They will be in our hearts forever. I wish I had known them when they were alive.
Last words: " this dying is boring, I wouldn't want to do it again". Death may be necessary for evolution, but the death of great minds seems cruel to the living
Very insightful to say death is necessary for evolution. It perplexing that so many great minds are taken from us early due to premature deaths like cancer.
@Nicolas Martin yeah I wasn't necessarily trying to make coincidence be causation, but Feynman and Carl Sagan both jumped out as dying prematurely where otherwise they might have been able to contribute more. They were indeed great minds, unlike the vast majority of us that couldn't find their way out of a wet paper bag.
unfortunate if he could not see that death is leaving the womb of this world and entry into eternal world
Lol
@Nicolas Martin aur wo hinzda mujhe paisa nahi deraha
RIP Joan, what a woman!
Adorable smart lady. This is what a old time NYC Queens accent sounds like. I have old family from there and her accent was very familiar..
This speech gets far to little attention. Deserves to be featured!
What a marvelous remembrance from Joan of her big brother. Funny and touching in the classic Feynmann style. As for Richard, I gotta believe he's up in Heaven discovering just how everything works... secure in the knowledge he's got it all figured out by now,

Beautiful. I always like to talk to my grandmother. Old people are a source of wisdom.
Only if they were wise when they were young. Wisdom is not a function of age.
@@Nautilus1972 agree!
@@Nautilus1972 Not sure I agree. I think of wisdom as "honest knowledge applied through experience". Age gives you experience.
Yep, but my granny is kinda racist. Not every old is wise and not every wise is old
@@RussCR5187 I think Nautilus has point. For example reason why, albert einstine is wise is because they spend their time to try to understand the things! so their experince is related to the times they spend to understanding! on the other hand if people spend time without object and watching Tv, we would hardly call them wise!
and that accumulated time gives them a wisdom. so my point is, time you spend to try to understand gives you knowdlege. more of those times, more intelligent they will be when they are older. but time itself does not give you such things!
Ms. Joan Feynman (Ruzmaikin) was an outstanding physicist in her own right.
She did groundbreaking work in predicting sunspots and in understanding aurororas.
While there could only be one Dick Feynman, there most assuredly was only one Joan Feynman who fought through so much to receive PhD. She was a great person.
wonderful lady, wonderful brother, badly missed
This man has such child like beautiful smile. I love him for his witty answers followed by that smile 😊
Joan is every bit the charming person that Richard was.
She's lovely and funny, but the sad thing is that you can also see she is tired. It was a fine thing - a very fine thing - her giving her beautiful tribute to her brother. Would have made him smile or giggle wherever he is.
@@sarrhodes8277 Tired? - Based on looking up her bio., I'd say she appeared more aged than her years would suggest. She died two years later (in 2020), at age ~74. This does seem young. Unlike Richard, she presumably was not exposed to radioactive materials. She received an 'Exceptional Achievement award from NASA for her research on solar winds and auroras.
@@gregparrott She was aged 94, not 74.
@@HereToSin Thanks for the reply. I proof checked your comment. It turns out we were both wrong. You were closer to being correct than me.
She was born on 3/31/1927. This interview was on 5/11/2018. She was 91 at the time of this interview.
She was 94 when she died on 7/21/2020
@@gregparrott No problem man! Btw I know it doesn't really matter, but I actually was pointing out to the fact that you said she died at 74. I was just correcting that part. And I also believe you are very right in saying that she was just as charming as Richard. What an inspiration they both were.
"I thought that was very, very interesting" at 6:24 was said in a way that her brother would say it!
ikr
You are so correct! - great comment and thnx for timestamp
Exactly " interesting" sounds so familiar
the accent - love it!
An incredible family.
Adorable and brilliant as his brother.
Wow, I use to live in Far Rockaway New York.
Great speech, thank you so much Joan Feynman. Greetings from Stockholm, Sweden!
An exceptional family.
Feynman , simply the best ! Thank you
Rip Richard💙💙💙
Orange juice song my god just look at his energy 😍
Really, great speech
That was amazing
Lives lived to the fullest!
Lovely
Excellent presentation!
Love Joan.
Wonderful!!!
" I retired in 2017 in good health and then two weeks later I fell down the stairs and broke my arm which is why I limp"...she's kinda funny and cute, too. I think that she reminds me of Marcel the Shell in Shoes and stuff !
Lovely speech, much love and respect to the Feynmans, and you'll find setting the speed to 1.25x is optimal.
I like her voice and cadence :D
Adjusting the speed she talks isn't very respectful though
thanks for this
my familly was from the same area of Feynman family in lithuania i was about to go to Kyzyl two month ago , a great uncle of me explained me thinks who sound like a mix of string theory and loop quantum theory 30 years ago.
Now that i heard about Feynman while looking to achieve links beetween great uncle stuff and intrication experiment . I found Feynman dealing about Kyzyl. i will go then to Kyzyl next year because its bether than Pitchipoi and because coincidences leads to nowhere.
@@scrapworld6994 It's brilliant. I love it.
Awesome!
Wonderful
Beautiful
Such elegance.
amazing woman like her brother
Her brother was an amazing woman?
@@karlhungus5554 yes♡
An inspiring story
Brilliant lovely lady
What an amazing genius 👍👏👏👏👏👏👏
Family.. the most important thing in the World... Thanks for sharing this priceless lecture.. she was an amazing woman.. scientist.. and SisStar

Peace y'all Please 🙏
Peace ✌️🕊️
a year later.. much to my surprise.. I'm still here... turns out passing radioactive kidney stones is not actually fatal... which seems pretty amazing when I'm in the middle of the process...
I think about... physics and math.. and... eternity.. I know all about forever.. that's how long it takes to pass a radioactive kidney stone... eternity.... the hard way..
Ms Feynman has left a gap in the geo-sciences.. I hope some of my work will help... with climate change.. with the ecological damage assoiated with mining and the production of fossil fuels.. it's the only Planet we have.. it's the only one we need.. but we have to take care of it... and each other... ❤️
♾️☯️♾️
Peace ✌️ Please
Family.. my deepest condolences to the Feynman family.. a couple years late... she was a real peach... another teacher I never knew.. but love very much
thanks Feynman family
muchas gracias y saludos cordiales

i also counted time during thunderstorms as a child. what a nice, funny lady.
Orange juice!!
The love she speaks of must have been real: his father appears again and again in his mentions of his foundations.
Summary:
- Joan Feynman is 9 years younger than Dick and as siblings they never fought
- PhD in Phys ('57); 3 Kids, 4 Grandkids;
- Area of Expertise: Space Science, Climate Change (inspired by Aurora Borealis) retired in 2017
- NASA Exceptional Science Achievement
- Being Born in the late 1920s, during the Great Depression she was born to a time where Women were
believed not to be capable of science (being told this by her own mother first). Nevertheless, Dick
encouraged her as best he could to become a physicist even being her first physics teacher and
employer
- 4:30 Feynman's Fire Story
- 6:38 Dick taught Joan arithmetic by the age of 3, he incentivised her by allowing her to pull his hair everytime
she got the answer right
- 7:33 Joan & Dick learned how to estimate how far a lightning strike they saw fell
- 8:55 "When I was learning, my mother was impressed with Dick's teaching ability not my learning ability."
- After being sick, her father taught her to make a living in case the worse happened (since their mum couldn't
make a living while he was sick)
- 11:55 "She seeth the vineyard, and buyeth it"
- 13:15 "The job of a scientist is to listen carefully to nature, not to tell nature how to behave."
- 13:50 Feynman Postage Stamp
- 14:40 "Orange Juice" Song
- 15:50 Feynman's Last Words
❤
She should have been able to given speech when feynman was alive. It would have been justice to her abilities..
This lady is so cool...
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
She could've been a standup comedian 👏
👍👍👍👍👍👍
Glad to have learned of Cecilia Payne-Gaposchkin - I hadn't heard of her before. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cecilia_Payne-Gaposchkin
That "orange juice 🍊" song was kind of catchy!🪘🥁
They were both IQ tested at school...she scored 1 point higher!
Interesting. As you know, certain people are quite fascinated by IQ as opposed or in conflict with actual achievements. R Feynman's IQ puzzled many as it didn't "fit with expectation" yet here two people sharing famial genetic info, score the same on that school test!!
@@michaeladrian2210 mashallah tbark allah alhamdulillah inshallah better astaghfirullah
IQ is overrated
@@michaeladrian2210 shows you that iq tests are overrated.
JFYI, Niels Bohr was also on stamps.
Yes, he was on many stamps from many countries, but not from the USA.
@@webspecific Not to diminish Richard's honor in any way, but wasn.t Albert E. on a stamp too?
Richard are you Ok??
😂😂
How old was she on 5/11/2018 ?
She was 91 in the video.
Bohr and Einstein had there own stamps as well.......................................Erik
Bohr wasn't on Einsteins level.
Richard spoke with a Queens accent. Joan, a few years younger, doesn't.
Interesting comment as another participant claimed she spoke with authentic Queen's accent.....so the drama rages
@@michaeladrian2210 Well, just listen to some recordings of Richard, listen again to her, and compare.
Listen to her say father and mother ...fatha lmao
Fhatha
Richard himself hated honors. They should have respected that
Oh shut up.
Poor logic 😂
Reading RF book now. 2 situations where I would have slapped him. At Los Alamos playing with security by insisting on using codes with his wife and father. So brilliant and so arrogant at times arguing with security and playing games. He seemed so child like in his writing about dealing with people and relationships. Will finish the book soon and comment.
So you never finished
He was pointing out the flaws in the security system at Los Alamos, where security was very slack.
I read the book. I was impressed how Brilliant and funny he was. and I think he complained about how easy for someone to steal the secretes, but theye didn't do anything about it, so he tried to pointed out. I feel sad that arrogant and childish is what you only found about this great man
Hellas, he missed the great truth :
THIS WORLD HAS BEEN CREATED BY AN INTELLIGENT AND ALMIGHTY BEING, GOD.
The Solar system, this magnificent planet Earth, every plant, animal and
human has a well-considered / thoughtful structure. That means an
Intelligent Being created them all, not blind nature. For the building
particles - atoms and molecules COULD NOT organize themselves in such
a way to cause a rose to form, or a deer, or a girl - with all the
complex organs and systems they have. Even in a billion years!
Therefore , a Creator, a Designer, an Architect really exists. There
is no other way (Evolution is NOT confirmed by the fossils)(Radiocarbon dating is NOT reliable)(Cosmic panspermia just shift the problem)
THE WORLD CREATOR SPEAKS TO THE PEOPLE AND ACTS.
Information about His words and deeds has been collected in the Bible.
Predictions of important events many centuries before they happen
prove this book comes from God. No one else could know the world
history in advance.
THE MOST IMPORTANT MESSAGE IN ALL TIMES.
God, the Creator of all things, guarantees (in the Bible) complete
forgiveness of the sins and eternal life to everyone who (first)
repents, rejects lies, thievery, murder, lechery as well as everything
that is wrong, (second) believes in Jesus Christ and confesses him as
a Lord and Savior. 2000 years ago, Christ came to Judea according to
the plan of God to accept upon himself the punishement we deserve for
our sins. Even though not guilty, Jesus was beaten, insulted and
killed on the cross - to pay our debt to God. Three days later he rose
from the dead and all power in heaven and on earth was given to him.
Everyone who accepts these terms of God must be baptized and take part
in Eucharist with Christians. When the determined time comes such a
person (no matter alive or asleep in death) will be given a new body
not subject to disease and death any more.
All authority of God stands behind this promise!
Put all your problems in prayer in the name of Christ and soon you
will realize that He is a real person. And a very good friend !
Christ will return to Еarth to judge the people. A lot of signs
indicate the event will be soon.
Note: Fortune-tellers, astrologers, magicians, soothsayers/spiritists,
"aliens" (masked demons, evil spirits) and similar to them have nothing in common with God and Christ. On the contrary - they are servants of Satan whose purpose is to deceive and
ruin. Be on your guard !
I hate to break it to you, but evolution is a fact. Proved over and over, not only in the fossil record, but from anatomy, genetics, and more. It may not fit with your interpretation of the bible, but it *is* a fact I'm afraid.
Do you you really feel the urge to write such a lot of nonsense in a post, devoted to a genious man who only believed in the power of nature? How sad...
@@andrecats6206 You can NOT resist the logic of my presentation. The facts are against you.
@@tsvetansirmanov7773 hey man i am not a true believer of a supreme Almighty God in whatever religion u called it. But science and religion should not collide. Appreciate this great scientist or be off the internet...
You read texts from Hinduism , Buddhism .. etc. etc. whatever eastern religious texts even the myths sound inspiring .. but the Christian texts or atleast these RUclips salespeople of christianity gosh .. sounds total red flag
