Feynman explains fire. I’m a big fan and believe his crude straight to the point style, coupled with an incredible ability to storytell is what made him special. I think it’s pure, genuine, curiosity and the intellectual capacity to understand the complexities.
What a gift. I love how he just squirms with enthusiasm.
We have a couple large fields by our home that alternate yearly between soybeans and corn. The amount of biomass that accumulated in a corn field between mid June and mid July is remarkable. Knowing that nearly all of that mass is from the atmosphere and not the ground is quite a prospective shifter.
