TEDxCaltech was an event at Caltech where invited speakers gave talks in honor of Richard Feynman. The speakers are experts in the fields of biology, physics and nanotechnology.

Among the speakers are Leonard Susskind, Scott Aaronson, Sean Carroll and more. I can't even say which of the presentations is my favorite since I enjoyed many of them. You can watch all the talks at the TEDxCaltech website.

Here is a video of the highlights:
