About this listen

 In this collection of lectures that Richard Feynman originally gave in 1963, unpublished during his lifetime, the Nobel Prize-winning physicist discusses several of the ultimate questions of science. What is the nature of the tension between science and religious faith? Why does uncertainty play such a crucial role in the scientific imagination? Is this really a scientific age?

Marked by Feynman's characteristic combination of rationality and humor, these lectures provide an intimate glimpse at the man behind the legend. He says at the start of his final lecture, "I dedicate this lecture to showing what ridiculous conclusions and rare statements such a man as myself can make." Rare, perhaps, and irreverent, sure. But ridiculous? Not even close.

Now I know why Richard Feyman is talked about by everyone who has tried to learn anything. He was a real thinker and he backed it up with action too, that's a deadly combination.

Worth a listen but a little disappointing versus other works by feynman. I just found it hard to follow some of the points being made.

interesting but a little disappointing

I found this one just as thought provoking, educational and enjoyable as the other Feynman books that I have listened to so far. Well worth listening to.

Another amazing Feynman book
