Richard Feynman: Fire

Another clip from a great BBC2 interview with physicist Richard Feynman aka The Great Explainer, all about thinking about the world in a different way. Fortunately for me he felt that if you can't explain things to a layman, you don't really understand it yourself.

Because your high school science teacher wasn`t a chauvinist womanizer like Feynman.

I`ve heard about the womanizer part - read about it - but the chauvinist?

Still, 5/5 for Feynmann.

10/5 for Feynman. AND to Reggycide, WHO CARES?! It`s not relationship advice he is giving you, the fact of the matter is that he is teaching about his field of expertease. He could be a child molester and it still wouldn`t matter in this situation.
Cheers.

You liked his video and are ready to give him a free `child molestation pass`?

This is not rocket science he`s explaining! Well sort early part of rocket science...

^ He said nothing about a free pass. It is dumb to reject information based on an irrelevant action. "You touch yourself while watching chickens lay eggs, therefore your conclusions on science are incorrect."

Very nice explanation, but what about giving the nutients in the ground a bit of credit? I notice if I put most plants in pure sand they dont grow.

^With enough water they will. Sand alows water to drain through relatively easily, which is why plants often don`t do well in sandy areas. If you can keep them wet, they`ll thrive.

Wow, this guy reminds me of my physics teacher from school, he always explained things like that, sure it made the classes longer, but we all understood what he was talking about.

Brilliant video 5/5

IDK...anyone who starts to get aroused by talking about science must really be on a more intimate level than I am.

^ Yeah, must be a conditioned response. When I hear the word jiggling, I think of tits and ass.
