Thank You Ron for the audio clip.
I’ve seen various videos of Feynman’s work and have enjoyed them. But this
audio, in addition to his wonderful NYC accent, brought back a sound I do not
remember hearing in the past 45 years. And a sound that is precious (in
retrospect) to me - the sound of chalk hitting blackboard. That “leading
edge”, the audible signal that something important may follow, is an “attention
getter” that physicists and mathematicians will always be attuned to. It can
be heard about 2 minutes into your clip.
Thank You!
