All six episodes of the 1983 BBC series Fun to Imagine, in which Richard Feynman muses on jiggling atoms, fire, rubber bands, magnets, electricity and more. He explains how to think about nature and why imagination is fun.

HN recommends it for Feynman's intuitive explanations and his joy in understanding how things work.

Read his book or watch Feynman explain [1][2] for one of many answers. Pondering these questions and learning about them gives joy, excitement, peace of mind and is my great hobby. So much so that I recently purchased 21 hectare of mountain for $9000 and emigrated there so I can study erosion (geology), wildlife, flowers and forest (biology and evolution) and dig for fossils in my own garden. And still read science and hacker news online. Feel free to come and visit, either camping or residing in a tiny house on my mountain[3]. I'll play science and nature guide in the Sierra de Cazorla, Segura and other mountain ranges.

People are also missing the complete video, its not just about magnets, it’s about why imagination can be fun. Here he just demonstrates why you can’t always turn to similarities in the classical world: ▶ this video
