Feynman gave a whole lecture on this subject - the second or third lecture of the Messenger Lectures (much better timepass than night time TV show, second only to the Wizards Lectures and the five three seasons of The X-Files).

It seems that this is an ideal case for the Less Is More principle.

If anyone else is wondering what "The Wizards' Lectures" are, they are a set of MIT video lectures from 1986 by Abelson and Sussman on "Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs"

Thanks! I was too enthusiastic to emphasize that the Abelson and Sussman lectures are out of the context of Physics. Nevertheless these are no less classic than Feynman's.
