Thank you, Mr. Gates!

I read “Surely You’re Joking, Mr. Feynman!” all in one sitting yesterday, and was so thoroughly amused that I started poking around online to see if I couldn’t find one of his lectures. (Yes, you read that right. I went looking for vintage physics lectures. It was that good.) Lo and behold! Bill Gates came through.

Bill Gates bought the rights to Dr. Feynman’s Messenger Lecture series, The Character of Physical Law, and has made them available to the public at Project Tuva. I may well be the last person to know about this, but I’m enjoying the series (and the nifty supplemental material!) so much that I’m posting about it anyway. All you homeschooling moms teaching physics (cough, cough, Tressa, cough) should check it out if you haven’t already.

Thanks you, Mr. Gates. You’re a peach.

Now, that's just sad.

Which part? :D

That is nifty. When I am not so tired, I am going to look at in more depth. Thanks for thinking of me. :)

Cool. I'm sending the link to The Husband and The Son. I don't do Physics, but I'm willing to have a look at the lectures.

Cool. Thanks for such a bizarrely entertaining idea. My four year old is watching. I have no idea why.
