@@mikebutler7605 So very true, as well. Beside their obvious abilities as theoretical physicists, they were both exceptional human being, too. You know someone is truly special when you remember them with much love, nostalgia, and admiration.
Love this channel - Its great we have interviews of all these great people before they left us. Much appreciate the team who took the initiative to sit down with these people while the opportunity was available.
These brilliant men should be much more famous and honored than they are. Incredible humans with brilliant intelligence and creativity. Meanwhile modern society talk about the Kardashians and Barbie dolls.
There are ordinary geniuses, who make you believe that you can achieve things in life just like them only if you worked hard enough. Then there are magicians, Feynman was a magician.- Hans Bethe ❤
I love to hear these geniuses speak their unprepared personal thoughts. Gell-Mann and Dyson I believe are my favorite storytellers because their thoughts emerge so orderly and clearly. Feynman is enjoyable in a somewhat different way and Bethe is like the grandfather of them all. Greatly enjoyable "stuff."
I well remember these halcyon days hanging out with Hans and Dick and Freeman and Oppenheimer. Discussing heady physics and mathematical problems and laughing at Feynman’s jokes. Ahhh, the memories.
Before leaving for the United States, he visited the Niels Bohr Institute in Copenhagen in September 1934, where he proposed to Hilde Levi, who accepted. However, the match was opposed by Bethe's mother, who did not want him marrying a Jewish girl, despite being Jewish herself, and Bethe broke off their engagement a few days before their wedding date in December.[44] Niels Bohr and James Franck were so shocked by Bethe's behavior that he was not invited to the Institute again until after World War II.[45]
Are right wing scientist, better than left wing scientist? not sure who are the best, I guess the ones that can get the most heat out of any thing would be the best.
Well, we can look at history. Jewish academics and professionals were rooted out of Germany, Poland and much of Europe in the 1920s and 30s. Many of them, and those of the left, went to Britain and America. After the war, European universities decided not to reinstate them. America leapt ahead in many fields. German industry recovered, but its science did not, and young scientists no longer feel it is necessary to learn German. That suggests it's better to be radical than conservative in science.
Hans Bethe wasn’t just a genius and a pioneer; he was also a man of great honor, generosity, and compassion.
I have the same feelings about Freeman Dyson. What a treasure.

Bethe always has something nice to say about everyone. It's a great quality to emulate.
He was the anti-Gell-Mann.

I cannot THANK you enough for ALL these amazing interviews with GIANTS of science. Thank you!

Same thing was said about etto majorana by Enrico Fermi...... unfortunately he disappeared/died at very early age.....
Hi
This was about Freeman Dyson, not Feynman
That remark was not originated by him
Hans Bethe has such an outstanding recall of dates, facts and people.
Great man. Great men all.

But then Elvis came in and ruined the party by swinging his hips. ;-)

His mother probably did not want him to be persecuted even more ...
One dislike from someone expecting to see vacuum cleaners
Or beer steins
THAT REMARK SUCKS LOL
Awesome Channel, great content!
Thank you.
Ajay Singh I agree thanks for the comment :)
I only wish that these interviews were longer.
There are playlists for each person on the channel.
The web of hydrodynamics procures the effect of the electron in a room captures the force of power
ENGLISH...PLEASE..LOL
great interview
freeman dyson as described by g.i.taylor = "a graduate student who is not entirely stupid". LOL
speaking as a graduate student that is rare as all hell, high praise
Old man speaking. RIP man.
Theae are greater minds than mine. These are humbler men than myself.
You better embrace humility; why aren't you humble? I don't see you on the list of Nobel Laureates...
Law of nature comes from center of earth
Einstein and Bethe set the stereotypical proper physicist/ scientist hair style ................Erik
Nice man.
❤️❤️
Very interesting and worthwhile video.
Great people
The automatic innocent correspondingly polish because parcel technologically cause worth a ambiguous giraffe. paltry, disastrous hourglass

Political views have almost no correlation to how good a scientist you are I think
That’s like asking if brunette scientists are better than blondes...

Need both wings to fly straight..
Political orientation is not a variable that affects scientific ability.
Long live democratic socialism and freedom
