Have fun staying (in) prison?


One of the Feynman lectures in physics is about Yang, Lee, and Wu's discovery. I thought it was a great listen:

#52 Symmetry in physical laws


Why didn't they mention them in the lecture notes?


I don't know what "notes" you are referring to, but if you mean the chapters of The Feynman Lectures on Physics, the recordings and photos of Feynman's 2-year Caltech course on Introductory Physics were the source material from which they were made. When these edited versions of Feynman's lectures were created there was no intention of publishing the lecture recordings or photos - indeed there was no intention of publishing them as a book! You can find all the recordings and lecture photos, as well as Feynman's lecture notes and other materials related to The Feynman Lectures on Physics at www.feynmanlectures.caltech.edu.


This is dope, I had no idea there were recordings of Feynman like this


Yang died very recently. He was 103 years old.


Does that 16K/Year adjust for inflation?


no, I was just the tiniest bit salty for being called out on extremely back of the envelope calculations that turned out damned close.


One thing I only recently learned was that Stagecoaches also relied on subbing out teams of horses at stations.


I love how Wikipedia lists the budget of the film as one million pounds.


I’ve heard the 500 euro note referred to as “the Bin Laden”


I’ve heard “fur baby” which is similar

I think the idea is that anyone who’s seen his stupid interviews is a “tainted” juror, so if he’s tainted most potential jurors, it becomes more difficult to try him. Not sure how true this actually is


Very affordable at a price of 16 milliNEOMs!
