I think you will like this. A lot of stuff explained in simple fun terms by one of the greatest scientists in history.

I particularly like his take on magnets and on the question "why?"

When I was an undergrad in the late 60's studying physics, Feynman was God. His books "Feynman Lectures on Physics" got us mere mortals in the class through our 1st year exams. The 3 books cost a bloody fortune but they were fantastic.

Was Feynman a genius?
According to a poll of scientists conducted by Physics World in 1999, Feynman was amongst the top ten highest regarded physicists, sharing acclaim with Einstein, Galileo and Newton. ... Feynman's genius lay in his ability to understand and present complex ideas in an intuitive and natural way.
