Project Tuva

I'm sure many will know of this already, but it's new to me.

Here's the description from the website:
Project Tuva was a collaborative research project with Bill Gates in 2009 demonstrating the potential of interactive video learning by highlighting the “core scientific concepts” of Richard Feynman’s Messenger Lectures Series. Upon release, the first of the seven lectures: The Law of Gravitation – An Example of Physical Law, was brought to life with interactive visualizations, links to searchable transcripts, integrated note taking capabilities and other features. The Silverlight application was retired in 2016, but the Richard Feynman videos are still available below.

Hi Stephen,

With regards the name "Tuva", do you know the "Tuva or Bust!" story
by Ralph Leighton about he and friend Richard Feynman?
A wonderful little book.

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuva_or_Bust!

Apart from the book, there was also a touching BBC documentary about it
called "The Quest for Tannu Tuva".

Someone has transcribed it to YouTube here :-

Thanks Gary,
I went to the wikipedia page, and suddenly remembered! Tuvan throat singing, an amazing technique where the harmonics are sung over the fundamental, producing multiphonics
