Feynman's Messenger Lectures Online
AKA Project Tuva
Bill Gates (a man who needs no introduction, right?) has acquired the rights
to seven lectures known as The Messenger Lectures, given by Richard Feynman in
1964. Microsoft Research has made the lectures available for free viewing
online through an interactive video application called
Project
Tuva. Check it out!!!
The application requires the installation of a free video player from
Microsoft, called Silverlight. It should install smoothly if yo are
running Internet Explorer. My experience is that it doesn't install at all
on Linux and installs with problems using Firefox on Windows XP. Your
mileage may vary...
