Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman!
An audio-first portrait of Richard Feynman’s curiosity, from childhood radios and social experiments through wartime engineering, teaching, physics, art, drumming, and scientific self-criticism. It asks how playful independence becomes reliable understanding—and how testing mechanisms, assumptions, and evidence keeps cleverness from becoming mere appearance.

The Feynman Lectures on Physics
How can local laws explain forces, fields, waves, matter, machines, fluids, and gravity? The Feynman Lectures on Physics answers by building from electromagnetism through mathematical analogy, relativity, quantum and material models, showing how unified reasoning works—and where idealizations and incomplete theories limit explanation.
