Clearly, geniuses see the world in a fundamentally different way.

This is the guy that proved the cause Challenger disaster, during the comittee hearing, by dipping a piece of o-ring material into his glass of ice water and snapping it with his fingers.

Feynman wrote a few books for us laypeople. If you like this video, you`ll love his books. He`s been one of my heroes for a long time.

This guy is a terrible explainer, because he may be so smart.

^He is `The Great Explainer" he explains things incredibly well, he just refuses to explain things wrong for the sake of getting people to accept his explanation. He wrote a book (`QED: The Strange Theory of Light and Matter`) that explains the way light works, in a way that most people can understand and enjoy reading, without using a single equation.

"Saying that you don`t understand it, meaning: I don`t believe it, it`s too crazy, it`s the kind of thing I`m not going to accept. Well this time I hope that you will come along with me, and you`ll have to accept it, because it`s the way nature works. If you want to know the way nature works... we looked at it carefully, that`s the way it looks. If you don`t like it, go somewhere else, to another universe, where the rules are simpler, philosophically more pleasing, psychologically more pleasing. I can`t help it OK? If I`m going to tell you honestly what the world looks like to human beings that are struggling as hard as they can to understand it, I can only tell you what it looks like. I can not make it any simpler, I`m not going to do this, I`m not going to simplify it, I`m not going to fake it. I`m not going to say its like a ball bearing on a spring, it isn`t. so I`m going to tell you what it is really like, and if you don`t like it, that`s too bad." -Feynman
