50 Years of Feynman's Famous Lecture

Last week, I was reading a newspaper article about nanotechnology which cited the famous lecture presented by Dr. Feynman. It triggered the curiosity in me to know more about that lecture. For those, who do not know who this person is, Richard Feynman was a famous theoretical physicist of this era, who is well known for his work on Quantum Mechanics and his simple explanation of complicated aspects of physics.

This title of this lecture was "There's plenty of room at the bottom". It was delivered by him in 1959 at California Institute of Technology. Fortunately, the development in networking world has reduced the space-time distance (Is it also some sort of special or general relativity!?). Now it is available online, here. Thanks to Ralph Merkle and Zyvex.

Place take time to read his lecture and you will know why I mentioned about his "simple" explanation style, earlier in the post.
More to come in future posts...
