Absolutely adore the man. It’s worth watching the entire talk. I think it’s particularly fascinating how much effort he has to put into explaining the feeling of magnets repelling. It’s hard to say “magnets feel like magnets feel because that’s what magnets feel like” and make it a satisfying answer.
Here’s Richard Feynman talking about it. I love the way he explained things.
