Richard Feynman is one of my heroes.

The Feynman Lectures on Physics

Caltech and The Feynman Lectures Website are pleased to present this online edition of The Feynman Lectures on Physics. Now, anyone with internet access and a web browser can enjoy reading a high-quality up-to-date copy of Feynman’s legendary lectures. This edition has been designed for ease of reading on devices of any size or shape; text, figures and equations can all be zoomed without degradation.

(This is a work in progress. Initially we are publishing Volume I; We hope to eventually publish Volumes II and III, and lectures will be posted as time and funds permit.)

Some Feynman quotes: (Especially for Global Warmists)

• The first principle is that you must not fool yourself and you are the easiest person to fool.
• It doesn’t matter how beautiful your theory is, it doesn’t matter how smart you are. If it doesn’t agree with experiment, it’s wrong  
• There is a computer disease that anybody who works with computers knows about. It’s a very serious disease and it interferes completely with the work. The trouble with computers is that you ‘play’ with them!
• If you thought that science was certain – well, that is just an error on your part.
• Science is the belief in the ignorance of experts.
• No government has the right to decide on the truth of scientific principles, nor to prescribe in any way the character of the questions investigated. 
• An ordinary fool isn’t a faker; an honest fool is alright. But a dishonest fool is terrible.
