Just finished watching the first one - I reckon anyone with half a wit could watch that a couple of times, expand a little background on wikipaedia (or try the links offered in the Tuva interface, which I didn't really try) and come away with a pretty fulsome understanding of physics.
Like nilsnihil says, Feymnan's a really engaging smart guy - like your best teacher was at school, someone full of knowledge he's hungry to share.
If you can't be bothered with investing a whole hour upfront, have a dig through YouTube for some shorter pieces to whet your appetite.
The ones from this series are good..

I had heard of Feynman, but I'm more interested in memorising the thoughts than who had them - my brain isn't really big enough for both.

it should be noted that i have never so much as opened a physics book. don't know a single thing about it. i took pre-calculus in highschool and it made my eyes go crossed. upper-level math is not my thing

- Watch this then. I never 'got' physics at school - hated it. Same with math. I regret now.detritus
- HAHAHAHAHA as i typed that i wondered if you would comment7point34
- lol, i wrote MATH before seeing kelpie's response - i have this argument with a best friend - i drop the Sdetritus
- LOL!!! You guyz are hilarious. *group hug!*Khurram

oh wow, i watched that youtube and thats what it was like when i smoked that salvia+dmt cocktail, like the whole fabric of the universe disintegrated and i saw it maaaan, what he's talking about, i SAW it.
- You are, I predict, actually composed of these very particles, Khurram.mikotondria3

ummm... so what are they all about?
- Science. Physics, particularly.
You don't know who Feynman is?detritus - I'm sure there is more than one Feynman...Amicus
- not into physics so why would i?ckentish
- I couldn't care less, ckentish.detritus
- There's more than one Hitler too, but I'd like to think you'd know who he was?detritus
- have the particles made you a bit tetchy - perhaps you should take a long hot bath - eureka!ckentish
- fuck off ckentish, you completely pointless cuntkelpie
- kelpie - chill out man.
