exploring QED (and life) with Richard Feynman

[Carl]

* Feynman is regarded as the best teacher of physics
in the 20th century. A set of video lectures can be
found here (real player required):

* This is a great interview with Feynman:

* I also highly recommend the book by James Gleick,
"Genius: The Life and Science of Richard Feynman"

There is an interesting bit to explore here on the nature
of the great geniuses of the past, and how they were "visual"
thinkers.

Quote from Gleick:

"Feynman said to Dyson, and Dyson agreed, that
Einstein's great work had sprung from physical intuition
and that when Einstein stopped creating it was because
'he stopped thinking in concrete physical images and
became a manipulator of equations'."

* An article which focuses on the "visual" in genius,
how big a visionary Feynman was, and a new model
going forward:
