Uncertainty
At the risk of turning this blog into a Feynman-fest – although I don’t think that would be such a bad thing, as a matter of fact – I couldn’t resist posting this little clip as a follow up to my previous one. In it he talks about a subject that has been a recurring motif on this blog – the importance of knowing when not to be certain.

It looks like this clip is from the 1981 Horizon interview “The Pleasure of Finding Things Out”, all of which is available on youtube (in 10 mins sections). Well worth watching….

Yes, back in the days Horizon used to do real science programmes.

Bernard Carr has a cartoon sketch of himself drawn by Richard Feynman. Bernard gave a seminar many years ago in the United States with Feynman in the audience. He noticed Feynman making a sketch of him, and later retrieved it from a wastepaper basket.
That’s classy.

Yes, I’ve seen it. It’s actually a pretty good caricature.
