   Feynman was so wonderful.  I’d love to see and hear him explain the underlying physics of truly the most impressive technological advance in human history: the zipper.  Or maybe it was saran wrap.

   I love his sense of wonder. He indulges in a bit of hyperbole, though—trees get quite a lot of nutrients from the ground! (Mostly via fungi.)

   What a great video.  Kind of explains how global warming occurs, also.

   The joys of reductionism!
   The world might be a better place if everyone synonomized “hot” and “jiggly.

   “Unintentional.” Yeah, right.
