Hi All.

I want to share with you amazing videos. http://vega.org.uk/video/subseries/8 It's popular lectures about quantum electrodynamics. Feynman was a really very good in explaining things to general audience. I think it's worth watching. You will learn a lot.

Enjoy.

P.S.: There were people who did not know who Feynman is. So, meet him personally.
P.S.2: Learning about creation is also learning about the Creator.

The man is indeed brilliant. I think there's a letter from him framed at my school that was sent to some important alumnus of my school when he worked here (Something about the Manhattan Project if I recall).

What I know is a famous letter of him is this http://www.fotuva.org/feynman/challenger-appendix.html.
It has to do with the Challenger disaster. Look at the last 2 paragraphs:

"Let us make recommendations to ensure that NASA officials deal in a world of reality in understanding technological weaknesses and imperfections well enough to be actively trying to eliminate them. They must live in reality in comparing the costs and utility of the Shuttle to other methods of entering space. And they must be realistic in making contracts, in estimating costs, and the difficulty of the projects. Only realistic flight schedules should be proposed, schedules that have a reasonable chance of being met. If in this way the government would not support them, then so be it. NASA owes it to the citizens from whom it asks support to be frank, honest, and informative, so that these citizens can make the wisest decisions for the use of their limited resources.

For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for nature cannot be fooled.
