Thanks for sharing this link. The Character of Physical Law is a masterpiece. It is wonderful to see the real lectures.

Dear Prof. Suo,

You are absolutely right. It is a very different experience to watch a professor deliver a lecture than to read the transcript. I was also looking for Feynman's 'plenty of room at the bottom' lecture. But I guess there are no videos available online.

I would also like to point out another link with lectures: a channel on youtube.

This is an initiative from my undergrad institution, IIT Madras. There are several lectures here in a wide variety of disciplines and all of them are in English.

Thank you so much for pointing to this exciting link. For years I have been reading the book based on these Cornell lectures, The Character of Physical Law. The book is a slim volume, but is absolute a gem. I can now watch and listen Feybman in action.

Here is an interesting link I came across while searching for the Feynman lectures -- Project Tuva.

http://research.microsoft.com/apps/tools/tuva/

It provides each of Prof. Feynman's seven lectures delivered at Cornell as a part of the Messenger lecture series. This format of posting lectures by Microsoft is absolutely amazing. I hope more such lectures especially videos of keynote lectures in leading conferences and congresses can be made available online.
