All said and done, we appreciate James! Let us mention the luck/privilege/etc. he has had (through his illustrious life) that we would wish upon ourselves. Personally, I would have loved to have had the chance to give Richard Feynman riddles to figure out. Even if he called me up in the early...

The full video of Feynman's messenger lectures is available now at: http://research.microsoft.com/apps/tools/tuva/ And it's pretty freaking awesome.

There's a scene in the movie "Dumb and Dumber" which I think illustrates how most people who lean towards woo, approach the matter. In the scene, Jim Carrey's character asks the girl he's in love with "What is the chance that you and I could be together?" to which she replies "Honestly? Like...

A nice quick read of an encounter Richard Feynman had with Uri Geller back in 1975.

This has probably come up before, but it's a jewel: Richard Feynman interview (~50 min long) He talks about lots of things and even has time to mention pseudoscience, superstition and how easy it is to fool yourself.

I am currently reading Classic Feynman, a collated autobiography of the late American Nobel Laureate in Physics, Dr. Richard Feynman. He was quite a guy. As a youth, he helped develop the atomic bomb. At the end of his life he revealed the flaws that led to the 1986 Space Shuttle Challenger...

I'm really getting into Feynman's stuff right now but it bugs me that I don't know how to refer to his name! I randomly alternate between 'Fine-man' and 'Fane-man'. Can anyone tell me which is correct?!

http://www.feynmanonline.com/ Fun site. I really like the anecdote section. Some of them involve our Mr. Randi and Penn and Teller.

Does anyone know for sure if the site James Randi recommended to support a Richard Feynman stamp (http://www.fotuva.org/feynman/rpf_stamp.html) is still active? The dates it talks about are 1998 and 1999. If this is a derilict site, then we'd be better off mailing the postmaster directly than...

Found here, on the Vega Science Trust web site: "A set of four priceless archival recordings from the University of Auckland (New Zealand) of the outstanding Nobel prize-winning physicist Richard Feynman - arguably the greatest science lecturer ever. Although the recording is of modest technical...

I just found out that you can watch a video of Richard Feynman give his lectures on physics here. I haven't been able to watch them yet but I remember reading them and it was a pretty good read.

Dr. Richard Feynman, Caltech... "I am going to give what I will call an elementary demonstration. By elementary, does not mean easy to understand. Elementary means, that very little is required to know ahead of time in order to understand it, except to have an infinite amount of intelligence...
