The Science Thread
mshray:
It seems Geoff's latest blog post underscored some interest in science that deserves its own home.
And to kick it off, the Physics lectures of Richard Feymman are now available in their entirety on the web, in an annotated and interactive style that looks pretty cool. And it's all thanks to Bill Gates.
[ETA: correcting a couple of grammatical and spelling errors.]

This is indeed a treasure. I have only discovered Feynman a couple of years ago, and he was apparently quite an interesting character. These video lectures are rather unusual in how they are presented, with simultaneous text and supplementary graphics popping up as the footage rolls. Feynman is relatively accessible as things go, but sometimes this is just pretty spacey sledding. Thanks Mark for putting this link up; I'm going to spread the word among my nerdy colleagues, so you may see this in FB-land soon!

I saw a short piece on the Golf channel about this course at Yale: The Physics of Golf
