Gates buys Feynman’s “Messenger” lectures to become freely available for public
I just found this post and watched the first four of seven youTube segments of this first lecture and it’s fantastic. Richard Feynman was a character who enjoyed giving lectures on the history of science in his thick New York accent, telling amusing anecdotes along the way. This lecture series is on gravity and if you just watch the videos posted at the Atheist Media Blog above you’ll have a good idea of why Feynman was so popular among his students and among lay people.
Bravo to Bill Gates for purchasing the lectures from Cornell so that they could be made available to the public.
If you want to have some fun, watch these youTube videos.
