    From JAB@21:1/5 to All on Sun May 12 20:41:31 2024
    'Science is the belief in the ignorance of experts' argued Richard
    Feynman, one of the greatest scientists of the last fifty years. He
    wished to promote the idea that the best science respects no authority
    and is not a learnt set of facts, but a rigorous method of questioning
    in search of a better account.

    But it takes intelligence for that.

    I believe an open mind is a prerequisite.

    When people understand "state of the art" findings, they tend to close
    their minds to a neoview.

    Open mind is intelligence itself.

    I've watched it completely already. I would like to have all the
    Feynman Lectures in video. Do you have that?

    intelligence - the ability to acquire and apply knowledge and skills

    One translation - A person is capable of following/executing what was
    learned. But, a different way of understanding a topic may be
    forbidden. Point - A textbook "thinker" only understands/accepts the
    textbook view.

    Example - "Joseph Lister found a way to prevent infection in wounds
    during and after surgery," but his view was initially rejected.

    Videos can be Googled, but I suspect there are few.

    I tried looking for these videos, but I didn't find them. It's not easy
    to download them from the website. These are long videos---I'd like to
    watch them on my TV.

    Let me express myself better. I can find these videos. In fact, I've
    watched most of them if not all of them. But I'd like to watch the ones
    at

    https://www.feynmanlectures.caltech.edu/fml.html

    on my TV, which (in my case) means I need to be able to download the
    video files, which is not easy. These lectures are not all on YouTube,
    for instance.

    I'm not current on this topic. I'd watch Youtube video first in last
    cite below....two different sites cited there. Reader's comment
    suggest Youtube vids won't work, or they don't know how to do it.

    Also, see this Caltech site: Video Storage Options https://teach.caltech.edu/tech-tools/video_storage

    I don't know how to determine a video's format. I believe knowing the
    video's format is key to a download. I've never been down this road. =======================================================
