The lecture is here, paragraph 5-7.
Feynman is trying to explain how to measure the size of the nucleus.
He writes :
"Suppose we have a piece of material
1 centimeter thick. There will be about 10^8 atomic layers.
Since we don't know the size of the nucleous, how can be possible to calculate how many atomic layers are situated in 1 centimer of a (unspecified) material ?
