Casually wasting time, i ran across this gem. It's him explaining the how, and why, of the speed of light. I seldom have the patience to sit through any videos, whether it's a good history vid, or a tv show i like… much less the 5-10 movies i'm watching at the same time as i get "bored" of each momentarily.

It was mesmerizing by how well, and simply, he explained it. It's been a long time since i had any advanced physics classes, and my brain anymore ain't what it used to be…. but damn it felt great listening to such a talented teacher.

Want to know about the speed of light? Watch this. Bring popcorn if you must. You won't regret it.

Much like Sagan, Feynman could make the complex understandable. — On the Speed of Light.

    Much more than Sagan, in my opinion.

    Feynman went for details, hands-on, much deeper.

    And he has the books. I love them.

    You should see a doctor. You seem to have a deficit in your attention span.
