Feynman: I'M SITTING NEXT TO A SWIMMING POOL.

SOMEONE DIVES IN, AND SHE'S NOT TOO PRETTY.

SO I CAN THINK OF SOMETHING ELSE.

I THINK OF THE WAVES AND THINGS THAT HAVE FORMED IN THE WATER,

AND TO THINK THAT IT'S POSSIBLE, MAYBE,

THAT IN THOSE WAVES IS A CLUE AS TO WHAT'S HAPPENING IN THE POOL.

THAT SOME SORT OF INSECT OR SOMETHING

WITH SUFFICIENT CLEVERNESS

COULD SIT IN THE CORNER OF THE POOL

AND JUST BE DISTURBED BY THE WAVES

AND BY THE NATURE OF THE IRREGULARITY

AND BUMPING OF THE WAVES

HAVE FIGURED OUT WHO JUMPED IN WHERE AND WHEN AND WHERE,

WHAT'S HAPPENING ALL OVER THE POOL.

AND THAT'S WHAT WE'RE DOING WHEN WE LOOKING AT SOMETHING.

THE LIGHT THAT COMES OUT

IS WAVES JUST LIKE IN THE SWIMMING POOL,

EXCEPT IN THREE DIMENSIONS

INSTEAD OF TWO DIMENSIONS OF A POOL

BECAUSE THEY'RE GOING IN ALL DIRECTIONS,

AND WE HAVE 1/8 OF AN INCH BLACK HOLE

INTO WHICH THESE THINGS GO.

AND IF WE WANT TO GET MORE INFORMATION,

WE SWIVEL THIS BALL ABOUT

SO THAT THE HOLE MOVES FROM PLACE TO PLACE.

SO THAT IN THIS SPACE IS NOT ONLY MY VISION OF YOU,

BUT INFORMATION FROM MOSCOW RADIO

THAT'S BEING BROADCAST AT THE PRESENT MOMENT
