In 1983, Richard Feynman gave a 1-hour masterclass on imagination and physics.

He broke down:
• Fire
• Atoms
• Motion
• Energy
• Magnetism

But underneath it, he revealed how to think like a scientist

12 lessons from Feynman’s masterclass:

1. Imagination beats knowledge

If you watch the NEWS, or spend too much time on Social Media, you may think we're headed for Civil War and the world's in Bad Shape.

That's Bullsh!t

And, here's 10 Charts to Prove it:

David Bowie had gone to a private showing of his 1987 movie Labyrinth. Afterward, he’d have a meet-and-greet with a group of children.

He met them and had a ball, but one boy was shy and withdrawn. So Bowie asked the organizers of the event if he could talk to the boy by himself, seeing as though he was “so shy."

The kid wasn’t actually shy — he was autistic. Bowie told the kid he was also scared, too, of everything. He was, in fact, only able to face other people because of a “magic mask” he would always wear. It just so happened the mask was ‘invisible.’

He gave it to the boy. He then acted rather distressed himself and had to make another magic mask, after which he became calm, too.

Bowie and the kid just hung out for thirty minutes, and it was a magical experience. The boy later said he actually felt more confident after meeting David Bowie and receiving his “magic mask."

Bowie reminded the boy of how ‘everyone is shy and scared sometimes, and we all wear masks’. Not every celebrity as famous as Bowie would take so much time and go through such effort to put an uncomfortable kid at ease at an event.

1. I can probably say a lot about this one. Recorded in the winter at Reaction Studios on Stafford street. Produced by MPW. We had a lot of guests on Whale Music, but this was just us. Front loaded with all of those Tielli vocals. I wrote Saskatchewan in Italy, and N Wish on tour

@hockeyesque As good as they come. The riffage of Aliens, high voltage wire head banging, when the solo kicks in Christopher, the harmonies right at the end of Winter, the haunting wateryness of Edmund… just all of it man pure art I will never tire

@hockeyesque My fav hidden song from any album in part because it was a total surprise when I first heard it and didn’t realize it wasn’t a proper track on the CD… I kept going through one by one like wtf was that where did it go??

Also you cannot listen to MWND and not be amazed ❤️ 🎸

Richard Feynman's most famous course at Caltech was called 'Physics X.' It was open to undergraduates only. The only instructions were 'Ask me anything about physics!' and Feynman would take it from there.
