Yesterday was the 95th anniversary of the birth of Richard Feynman, one of the greatest scientists of the 20th century. An unusual excuse for a party
Tonight Chris Riley BBC2 show a documentary about a remarkable man, Richard Feynman. Yesterday, on the 95th anniversary of the birth of Feynman, Riley showed some clips and discussed the program, and the man, with Robin Ince, Christopher Sykes and public Bloomsbury Theatre. Feynman Sykes met several times and has made three films with him, starting with "The pleasure of finding things." Sykes wanted Riley said he met Feynman. I felt the same.
There were two events in the Bloomsbury organized by Ince. In the afternoon, discussion with Riley and Sykes, plus a conversation to me, and by the end of science, music and comedy show. Robin excels in putting them together, whether in the cause of libel reform, Mayan prophecies or just Christmas.
I will not say that the show last night (as it was myself at the end, I missed a lot of nails biting into the green room and try to get more Cup England). However, the little that I saw correctly, Tamsin Edwards analyzed the scientific evidence that it is, in fact, Feynman, so why all models are wrong (but not all as bad ...). With Petrie sang a new song based on Feynman wrote a letter to his first wife, Arline, after his death. I found it very moving, do not consider the possibility of Tom and Andrew Pontzen Whyntie make me laugh a lot after. But yes, a lot. And the aurora borealis Greta Santagata stress that accompanies the depth added by Lucie Green was the perfect finish of the first half. Sister Joan Feynman success is an astrophysicist who has made progress in understanding the dawn (and, by convention, not his brother to study the phenomenon.)
- gave a talk in the second half. I tried to explain the link between the bumps on the evidence that we have discovered a Higgs boson Feynman diagrams we use to predict these data. A bit of a challenge for me as a Saturday night (or afternoon) the public, you might think. And you would be right. I'm not sure it worked, but had Whyntie Pontzen and clearly demonstrated the principle of least action, but people seemed to enjoy and I'll probably have a go at writing some future time.
- Whyntie, Pontzen and I took our copies of the Feynman Lectures on stage with us. It is essential reading for me as a student, and still should be for someone who studies physics. However, they were written in the sixties (when Peter Higgs wrote his famous article, in fact), even though they contain a lot of great ideas that will easily stand the test of time, you probably do not contain Not all physical. The discovery of the Higgs boson is just one example of the vast amount of new knowledge, as they were written.
