Richard Feynman, the great explainer, takes us on a journey into the unseen world of atoms. From their attraction and repulsion to their explosive reactions, he unpacks how the tiniest particles of matter create the dynamic chaos we see in the world around us. | Wellnessradar

#OTD 1965: "I think I can safely say that nobody understands quantum mechanics" Richard Feynman advised against taking an analogical approach to understanding quantum physics. This clip is from The Character of Physical Law: Probability and Uncertainty - the Quantum Mechanical View of Nature. It was recorded at Cornell University in 1964. | BBC Archive

Love this 😅 Great to see the legendary physicist and humanist Richard Feynman get a mention too. The Feynman quote he's talking about: 'Nobody understands quantum mechanics' refers to the impossibility of grasping quantum phenomena using 'everyday' common-sense intuition. In the original Cornell University 1964 lecture (we'll post a link), Feynman elaborates: 'I'm going to tell you what nature behaves like and if you will simply admit that maybe she does behave like this, you will find her a de
