>20y ago so the odds are low but not impossible (feynman's lectures are on youtube). just sad to think how many great lectures have been lost to time tho
> feynman's lectures are on youtube Only a tiny handful. Feynman gave a guest lecture at our physics class at Caltech in the 70's on potato chip worlds. As far as I know, it only persists in my memory. I sometimes wonder why I didn't buy a cheap cassette recorder and record a bunch of lectures from then. Probably because nobody else did, either.
care to put down some bullet points on your potato chip recollections on a blogpost? others who were there might chip in

#193Another famous J.C. - but one that brought more joy to my life with his Winning Ways than the other one did. Rest in peace, John. -- https://www.quora.com/profile/Bruno-Curfs
