Richard Feynman - The Incomprehensible Nature Of Nature
Richard Feynman
caught my ear first when explaining that nobody really knows what inertia is and I thought that was a good thing for a physics Nobel prize winner to say rather than that patronizing Royal 'we' that pompous scientists like Michio Kaku repeatedly use to highlight scientific superiority despite Michio being a peacock
shill
(and wrong about the nature of physics).
Feynman
is the kind of man in this character examination documentary who translates the famous
Mayan Dresden Codex
from scratch to get the feel of the explorer who first discovered it. Later on he talks about the
catch 22
of winning the Nobel prize. He neither wanted it or could turn it down as that would attract even more attention, which he knew interfered with the process of authentic inquiry.. Somebody should tell that to Michio Kaku when he pauses to inhale between script reading.
