This is a full length documentary on the renowned scientist, Richard Feynman. He's probably my biggest role model at the moment. It's really interesting, and I just love learning about Feynman. This is just one of those definite watches, imo. So interesting to learn about him and his views.

I've seen it already, but it's an awesome documentary, and I highly recommend you watch it. Feynman was a really cool guy.
As scientists go, Feynman is really unknown, despite the fact that he was easily one of the greats, along with Tesla, Einstein, Hawking and so many others.
Oh my god. His sister looks exactly like a female him. The gesticulations and patterns of speech especially.
Finished it a few minutes ago.
He was such an interesting man.

I thought I was the only one who noticed! The entire way they even sit and just hold their demeanor in conversation was eerily similar.
I wish there was more information about him working on the bomb. Most 3rd party sources kinda try to hide it (he does mention it in his memoires)
Well Richard wasn't exactly proud of his work once he finally understood the full concepts of it. tbh, I'd be trying to cover it too.
I like him because he takes it to the basics to understand things. I am not a very smart person but he made it easy for people like me to understand complex things.
I love his explanaition of how rubber bands and train tracks work.
The bit about his artistic roommate is fantastic.
Thanks for posting this, what a guy.
I believe they have a set of his lectures on youtube. My favorite being the explanation on how trains wheels take turns.
