Fire Isn’t What You Think — Richard Feynman’s Shocking Explanation

Описание: You think fire is just flames and heat — something that burns and destroys.
But what is fire REALLY?
In this video, inspired by Richard Feynman’s legendary BBC interview “Fun to Imagine: Jiggling Atoms” and The Feynman Lectures on Physics, we uncover a truth that completely changes how you see fire, trees, the Sun — and even your own body.
🌳 Did you know trees are made mostly from AIR, not soil?
🔥 Why doesn’t wood spontaneously combust?
☀️ How does the Sun power every flame on Earth?
⚛️ Why fire is a cascading atomic reaction, not a thing — but a process
🫁 And why you are a slow fire, burning food with oxygen every second
Using Feynman’s unique way of thinking, familiar ideas become profound, strange, and beautiful. Fire stops being just destruction — it becomes a window into how the universe works at the atomic level.
Feynman taught it:
simple, deep, and unforgettable.
