Richard Feynman was not a fraud. He was a physicist and a brilliant man. He led an interesting and somewhat controversial life. He was not perfect, no one is. But with Feynman what you see is what you get. IMHO we need more (many more) like him. BTW what is gravity, exactly??
Sheeptard! Maybe so, But, I studied during Feynman's time and he was a man who always questioned everything. He would argue his side of the proposition, but if you were prepared and refuted his position, he would consider your argument. That, by the way, is science. So, try me, what the hell is gravity, exactly?
Having had the good fortune to meet the bongo player on several occasions, trust me when I say that is a load of crap. You come off like a 6-year-old downs tard critiquing Tesla.
Agreed. He was one of the key members of the Manhattan Project (a young prodigy at the time). He also did some good work with neural networks (Thinking Machines) in the 80's.
He had a good life. He led a life of significance, in multiple fields. I am trying, to a much lesser degree, to do the same.
Morons are gonna moron. It's what they do. People like that are nothing more than dancing clowns... a distraction from the things in life that really matter.
The best possible response is - no response. Any response is simply a waste of time, as you have probably already noticed.
Instead, we need to ignore distractions and use our time to focus on the things (and people) that DO matter, in order that we may continue to learn and improve... as we try our best not to accidentally become one of the dancing clowns ourselves.
Did you read the book?? IMHO it was the story of a brilliant, eccentric man who questioned everything and adhered to the scientific principle. You may not like him, but he led a life of adventure. We should all try to be like that...
Yes, I read it back in the 1980s. It was a gift from the Tau Beta Pi Honor Society for admission in their society. There's little to nothing I remember of it though. I regret to say, I recall it being rather boorish.
The down-votes for my opinion is amazing. It seems I have no right to take a different direction from the herd and take a different path? Wow, get along lil' doggies. There's only one path. Now, take it!
So you're the down-voter. I suppose it is your right to do so, but definitely not for your premise though. I thank you for responding. However, unfortunately your response sits at the very bottom of Graham's Hierarchy of Argument. 'Name calling' is pathetic and goes against the rules. GAW strives for its members to be at the upper level of this hierarchy. I suggest you read and understand them.
You mentioned Feynman was "one of mainstream's darlings". It wouldn't be for the same reason Carl Sagan, Albert Einstein, or even a Amy Schumer or Seth Rogan are promoted? A colleague of mine worked several years with Carl Sagan and said he is a "big fake", an "actor" who stole the headlines of the work others did. He was never even involved in the projects. He too publicly was endeared by mainstream television because of his ((karma))).
We are the news. Not the lying propaganda mainstream. A long time ago, decades ago before 'Q' made publicity, I was discerning "mainstream darlings". Feynman was one of them to which I questioned his promotion and his celebritiness.
LMAO Feynman is a fraud like so many of his generation. There’s a great video where he is asked what gravity is… and he can’t answer the question.
Anyways…
please wake up

Here is your hero’s answer:

Sounds like a fraud to me.
I think the mechanism of gravity is famously difficult to understand by scientists. A fraud would pretend to know exactly what it is.

He was likely a legit 180 IQ. Both funny and a little sad to see folks who are still in double digits ridicule him.

Quite right. "Surely you're joking, Mr. Feynman!" I was never 'big' on Richard Feynman.

Fair enough....

The interview is probably still on YouTube. Literally, you will laugh.
