The Feynman lecture series on physics were great.

[ClearCase_guy]

Youtube is loaded with wonderful clips of eminent physicists and mathematicians telling stories about their work and about each other. Surprisingly entertaining.

One on my favorites it's wrong

[Nifster]

Loved him

Got to hear Feynman give the plenary at CLEO in1980. Extraordinary

[Billthedrill]

He developed an awesome reputation as a safe cracker by knowing the factory default combination, because nobody ever changed it.

“Surely You’re Joking, Mr. Feynman!” is a great read.

Brilliant guy. Figured out the space shuttle disaster during a big conference meeting on it. Dunked part of an oring in a pitcher of ice water, pulled it out, bent it...it snapped. Right there in front of the emminent bigwigs.

Mic drop.

As a long-time Feynman aficionado, I believe that this lecture is the probably the most interesting and self-revelatory on the internet; more than an hour long, and every bit of it fascinating:

I confuse Feynman with Hunter S Thompson.
They coulda been brudders.

Richard Feynman wanted to visit Tannu Tuva, a formerly independent country (which he knew about from collecting postage stamps), which had been absorbed into the Soviet Union. He tried to visit but there was so much red tape that by the time the permission came through, he had died. There was a TV program about his quest—I think it was called “Tuva or Bust!”

Feynman was a great lecturer and text author....
fantastic!

Richard Feynman was definitely the coolest of the nerds.
