The Feynman Tapes

[edit]

The Feynman Tapes should be more widely known! It’s priceless to hear Feynman tell these stories extemporaneously. One day, somewhere in the early 2000s I called up Ralph to ask if there were tapes of Feynman telling the stories for the books. He said yes, there are CDs. I beseeched him to publish them online, which he did around 2005, on lulu.com and later on bandcamp. I just updated the page to link to them. Have a listen!

Notability

[edit]

Surely the co-author of two books by physicist Richard Feynman is notable. Beyond that, Leighton provides an important model for leveraging the notability of a famous and important scholar to create media that reaches out to the larger community, preserving the important lessons from that scholar for the public.

We still need reliable secondary sources.--ReyHahn (talk) 21:00, 6 November 2025 (UTC)Reply
