Yea, I am looking at getting Feynman's lectures on CD to listen to in the car on trips up to the in-laws. He was a fantastic speaker.

I've always been fascinated by Feynman, but had never seen an interview by him. That was incredibly interesting. Thanks for posting it.

Still watching, this brings me back. I had a fair bit of knowledge about Feynman's personal history before, and it's being churned up as we speak.

Very interesting, and an enthralling speaker. I love to hear the views on life of people like that.

Cool, I'm reading a book of his now, QED very interesting stuff
He indeed comes across as very honest, in this book of his he's very honest about his QED theory saying that he and no-one on earth can explain why or how it happens.

I love the way he explained algebra. I always hated when teachers gave me shit for not following their methods and showing work for steps I could see in my head.
