I am always amazed how Richard Feynman can make such simple stories and comparisons to explain the situation&#x2F;theory in &quot;explain like I&#x27;m 5&quot; style.<p>It seems that in every lecture or interview he gives he can explain the situation very fluently and in a way that literally, probably, a 5 year old could understand. The best one I saw is where R. Feynman explains how a computer works [1]. Even though I knew everything he told, I was astonished how intriguing and simple his way of presenting was.<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=EKWGGDXe5MA" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=EKWGGDXe5MA</a>

The Appendix he refers to is here:<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;science.ksc.nasa.gov&#x2F;shuttle&#x2F;missions&#x2F;51-l&#x2F;docs&#x2F;rogers-commission&#x2F;Appendix-F.txt" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;science.ksc.nasa.gov&#x2F;shuttle&#x2F;missions&#x2F;51-l&#x2F;docs&#x2F;roger...</a><p>You can see that he effectively summarized some major points of it in this TV interview using only simple story about the kid and the mother.

That kind of old-school journalist. Sounds pretty cold doesn&#x27;t he.
