Generalized Burgers’ Equation

Dirac and Feynman Discussion

Two characters talking about physics, one talking at one word per minute (Dirac), and the other with a flow or stream of consciousness (Feynman).

Mystery of $e$ and $i$

What a cast of characters! From the book `Who is Fourier?’

One Explosion Tests and thoughts on Terribleness

Trinity: the first four seconds. Oppenheimer later told journalists, “If you ask: can we make them more terrible, the answer is yes; if you ask: can we make more of them, the answer is yes; if you ask: can we make them terribly more terrible, the answer is-probably.”

Journal of Dr. Feynman

Example page from Prof. R. Feynman journal of research. Mixes art and physics / math.

Space Shuttle / O-Ring Cutaway

Cutaway explanation of the O-Ring disaster within reports of one Prof. R. Feynman.

Laminar Flow

Apparently, laminar flow was traditionally called Hagen-Poiseuille flow, named after Hagen’s work in 1839. In 1839, Hagen saw transitional effects between laminar and turbulent flow, which would not be collapsed until much later through the experiments of Reynolds.

Now That’s a Van

Particularly interesting van design of Dr. R. Feynman. Shows Feynman diagrams on the side of the van.

Prandtl (1926)

What I am about to say on the phenomena of turbulent flows is still far from conclusive. It concerns, rather, the first steps in a new path which I hope will be followed by many others. The researches on the problem of turbulence which have been carried on at Göttingen for about five years have unfortunately left the hope of a thorough understanding of turbulent flow very small. The photographs and kinetographic pictures have shown us only how hopelessly complicated this flow is.
