09-14-16 - Richard Feynman: The World From Another Point of View
David Johanssen presents: "Richard Feynman: The World From Another Point of View"
In 1973 Yorkshire public television made a short film of the Nobel laureate while he was on holiday in England.
The famous American physicist Richard Feynman used to take holidays in England because his third wife, Gweneth Howarth, was a native of West Yorkshire, so every year the Feynman family would visit her hometown of Ripponden or the nearby hamlet of Mill Bank.
The resulting film, "Take the World From Another Point of View," was broadcast in America as part of the PBS Nova series. The documentary features a fascinating interview, but what sets it apart from other films on Feynman is the inclusion of a lively conversation he had with the eminent British astrophysicist Fred Hoyle.
