Initial thoughts on the Feynman Lectures

I'm a student who's going to start a degree in Physics this October. I've just started reading the Feynman Lectures on the Caltech website and I just find it amazing how Richard Feynman can explain topics in physics so well and manage to make even stuff I personally didn't find as interesting before (such as kinetic theory) fun to learn as well.

I was wondering, what have been the most major advancements in physics since the lectures were written that relate directly to the topics he discusses, and that I ought to know when reading them? For example, he discusses the muon and the electron, but not the tau. I'm guessing this is before the tau lepton was discovered.

Is there anything discussed that is extremely inaccurate now?
