Where can I listen to Feynman Lectures?
The California Institute of Technology in conjunction with the Feynman Lectures Website recently completed a years-long effort to upload the entire set of Richard Feynman’s classic Lectures on Physics for the public to access for free.
Are The Feynman Lectures on physics outdated?
The Feynman Lectures are timeless. Their chief strength is in demonstrating how to reason about physics. The content is still valid and will remain so indefinitely. They cover basic mechanics, electromagnetism, and quantum mechanics.
Is it worth reading The Feynman Lectures on physics?
Feynman was a genius, and his lectures are excellent, but on the other hand, I would not recommend them as textbooks for college courses. I think it would perhaps be best to read them after you studied the relevant courses, in order to broaden your understanding of the material, and not before (as I did).
Can you listen to Feynman Lectures?
There are audiobooks of the Feynman lectures, but it is not clear if they are from the original lectures of were recorded later. See: Basic Books Celebrates the Life and Work of Richard P. Feynman , but the followup links are broken; each ISBN individually seems available on Amazon.
Are the Feynman Lectures available on video?
If you want to enjoy some of the material covered in those books on video, watch Feynman deliver the first of a series of seven lectures at Cornell below in a series recorded by the BBC, in addition to several other Feynman lectures on the same YouTube playlist.
Are Feynman Lectures good Reddit?
On second thought, I am really looking for the “bible of physics”. Your typical thick textbook for 1st year physics that describes all of it. Someone in the comments suggested these authors: Young and Friedman, Halliday Resnick and Walker, and Gentile and Etka What do you think? Thanks again!
How is Feynman Lectures on physics Quora?
The Feynman lectures are generally considered too subtle, too difficult for the beginning physics student. They are wonderful references for the physics professor, such as me. The Feynman Lectures were my first physics textbook, and the only one I needed for several years.
Where can I find audio recordings of Feynman Lectures?
A seemingly comprehensive list of Feynman audio works can be found at The Official Site of Richard Feynman. You can find audio of Feynman lecturing as part of the video files which Microsoft provides as part of Project Tuva as long as you can run Silverlight.

Why does Feynman delay his lecture by 6 minutes?
Lecture #30 Interference, given on February 20, 1962, is of some historical interest: Feynman delays starting by 6 minutes because earlier that day John Glenn became the first American (and second man, after Yuri Gagarin) to orbit Earth, and he was due to splash down! So, there is a prolonged “before-lecture” discussion in the recording.
What is the hubbub in the background of Feynman’s Lecture?
In the background you can hear the excited hubbub of the students, concerned for Glenn’s safe return. Feynman begins his lecture, “Mr. Glenn is in orbit and he’ll probably come down during this lecture. We’ll see if we get any news from it.”
