The more you know about the world around you, the more amazing it becomes. Unfortunately, there are those who believe that science dulls the appreciation of beauty. Not so. As Carl Sagan once quipped, “It does no harm to the romance of the sunset to know a little bit about it.”

Nobel award winning physicist Richard Feynman had plenty to say about it, as you can hear (and see!) in this lovely animated piece, based on an interview Feynman gave to BBC in 1981.
