In a way the remarkable thing is that he isn't just a super-smart genius, but this gives an impression of a different sort of mind, who *does* find a lot of it baffling and bizarre... which maybe is what contributes to his being so good at explaining, because he needs an explanation that satisfies *himself* as well

The best way to understand something is to break it down into the most simplest way of thinking or analogy. Its how I like to view the world. Its crazy how these supposed geniuses are just normal guys who just love what they do. We can all be geniuses. Its the will were missing.

@FredPlanatia 3 жыл бұрын

It does take a lot of hard work, and willingness to accept that things are not as you initially perceive them. I guess that is imagination, which Feynman had in abundance. He also is very honest about what he understands and what he doesn't understand, which is a kind of scientific humility. He recognized where we are deluding ourselves about 'understanding' something. And so he knew what was a worthwhile question to ask or problem to solve.

Physics and ultimate causation is important- but in most cases a simple story is sufficient. I am saying this while listening to to the great Mr. Feynman. So- even if we can know more and more and more- ultimate cause and effect will Not ever be known- maybe in the realm of philosophy but not even then. If such was “known”, there would be no field of study anymore and people could just go to sleep knowing everything is solved and there are no more questions. To me- it’s these constant questions which gets me going! We search for answers but also hope the questions never end.

ok... I would like to make a couple comments... along the way... this is probably the 4th or 5th viewing of this conversation with Dr Feynman... a good teacher gets us to think about the subject.. and... I've been thinking.. and working in my little lab here in the Sierra Estrella in Arizona.. jiggling atoms and heat spreading from hot to cold... like pressure.. moves from higher pressure to lower pressure... a la Max Planck circa 1900... in the German education system, college bound students and the hoi polloi who are expected to go to work are separated after the first 6 years... most kids learn a trade and go to work.. Max Planck and his cohorts in Gymnasio did not weld.. solder... or brase... physicists... even my dad.. who taught me how to solder plumbing and wire... failed to recognize the implications.. metals follow heat... move towards the heat, rather than away from it.. so.. here in the MountainSmith workshop and laboratory.. I figured out how to isolate platinum and palladium from volcanic ash by heating a low melting point metal in various flavors of volcanic ash.. with a flux of borax.. the platinum requires more heat.. palladium is done with a small propane torch like we use to solder plumbing.. platinum I have to get out the big guns... a plasma cutter from Amazon.. 135 dollars of heavy infrastructure to create the most useful metals in the World.. from volcanic ash... there are layers of it all over the Planet hundreds of meters deep... so it's not rare or hard to find.. unless you think it's all moving away from the heat... it isn't.. this is what happens when you have to pay for everything yourself ok.. back to the good Dr Feynman

i figured out how to switch between "voice in head" counting and visual counting. my default was voice. i started to visualise those numbers like feynman described and then i changed the sound i made in my head for each number so that it was just one word. then i reduced it to some noise like hum and from that i faded it completely so i was left with just an image in my head without any "sound". pretty interesting. i really could talk while imagining it.
