I never thought that I would be attracted by a collection of speeches and interviews by a physicist. This physicist is a Nobel Prize-winning physicist, a writer, an artist, and he can also play the tambourine. An interesting person who opens all kinds of safes, uses his free and easy humor to convey wisdom that can last a lifetime through every text.

More than genius, not only interesting, but also following Feynman, in the book "The Joy of Discovery", you can appreciate the charm of science, the joy of humanities and the joy of discovering the principles of all things.

To be honest, Feynman has become a fan.

The following is an excerpt from the book.

1. Beauty is not limited to this small area, beauty also exists in smaller microscopic worlds.

2. My wisdom is limited and I only use it in a specific place.

3. You know the name of a bird. Even if you can call it in every language in the world, you still know nothing about it. All you know is what people in different places call this bird.

4. I also have a new principle of doing things, that is, I have no obligation to fulfill other people's expectations of me.

5. One of Von Neumann’s ideas is very interesting: you are not obligated to be responsible for the world in which you live.

6. He taught me that I don’t have to bear the pain of the whole world on myself.

7. After completing the research on the atomic bomb, I felt that everything I did was meaningless.

8. I think one of the biggest dangers in modern society is that thought control may return and even become more severe.

9. However, scientific knowledge itself does not tell people how to use this power - how to use it to benefit mankind instead of causing harm.

10. The essence of scientific application is to effectively manage the use of scientific knowledge. Do not let science bring too much harm to society, but let it benefit society as much as possible.

11. The vast majority of people, the vast majority of the public - they are completely ignorant of the science of the world they live in, and they are not ashamed of it at all. They continue to live in ignorance, which is both sad and pitiful. .

12. If you firmly believe that faith healing is real, then you have the responsibility to conduct research and research, and strive to improve its efficacy so that everyone who receives treatment can return with satisfaction, rather than being disappointed. It degenerates into a gimmick.

13. We do research not for personal gain, but to promote the progress of the entire ideological concept. This is a professional ethics in scientific research.

14. I think it’s time to ask people to use their brains. Their understanding of the world should be more complete, instead of just following the crowd and accepting all strange sayings. What’s more, Holding two opposing views in your mind at the same time, but refusing to use your brain to think about it seriously - that is a waste of the human brain.

15. People, philosophers of all ages, have been trying to reveal the mystery of life and the full meaning of life. Because if we can discover the true meaning of life, then all our human efforts, all our wonderful and huge potentials, can work together in the right direction, so that we can make great strides forward and achieve major victories. .

16. On the way forward, only when we admit our ignorance can we give other ideas a chance.

17. The reason why we haven’t done it now is just because we haven’t touched the door yet.

18. Natural imagination far exceeds human imagination.

19. Human beings seem to have unlimited potential, but their achievements are so limited in comparison. It makes us sad every time we think about this. Time and again, we all think we should have done better. Our predecessors imagined the future in the dark ages they lived in; as descendants, today we see some of their dreams come true, while many remain dreams. Today's hopes for the future are, to a large extent, still the dreams of the ancients.

20. This is science: knowledge that has been re-examined is credible, rather than blindly believing in the knowledge left by predecessors.

21. Learning science creates our worldview. We re-verify knowledge and discover the beauty and magic of nature.

22. Another value of science is to advocate rational thinking. It also advocates the importance of free thinking.

23. You have to multiply the importance of a problem by your likelihood of solving it. If you can consider these factors together, you will not waste time on a major topic and get nothing, or waste your life solving a lot of small problems that others can solve.

24. As long as you study deeply enough, everything is interesting.

25. If you have a reason to do something, and the reason is very good, then you start doing it, but you must pay attention to the current situation from time to time to see if the original motivation is still legitimate. of.

26. In our lives, whenever we make a decision, we must know that we are making a correct decision. We just want to do it as well as possible - this It's what we should do.

27. Once people give up arguing about absolute issues and instead consider issues in terms of uncertainty, the situation will be greatly improved.
