Microsoft, which occasionally gets bored doing pure evil, has posted videos of a series of lectures that extraordinary scientist and teacher Richard Feynman gave 45 years ago. Watch them, and be amazed not just at his skill as a communicator, but at the admirably elevated level of what was once considered "accessible to the public" science, before the teevee became mostly about people eating bugs for money. pretty people peering fleetingly into fake microscopes, and Michael Bay blowing shit up.

You'll have to install a Microsoft program. It may turn you into a flabby uncool guy with glasses. Fortunately I'm immune.
