| Science is a way to teach how something gets to be known, what is not known, to what extent things are known (for nothing is known absolutely), how to handle doubt and uncertainty, what the rules of evidence are, how to think about things so that judgments can be made, how to distinguish truth from fraud, and from show. | |

I am a physics graduate. And every physics student knows him.
I discovered him by his book Feynman lectures on physics.
Its not necessary to be a mathematician to understand his teachings if you are interested just go to you tube where you can find many of his lecture videos delivered to general public. 🙂
Yes. I suppose every physics grad would know of him. Was the book you read his “red” book. (I think there are actually three in the lecture series aren’t there?) I was planning to spend some time watching his videos on YouTube. I started one, but didn’t get a chance to finish it. It was more of an interview than a lecture, though. Life has been getting in the way lately…
Anyway, thanks again for the visits and comments! 🙂
Feynman is my hero.
And its good to see his thoughts on your blog. 🙂
Thanks for the visit and the comment!
How did you discover him?
I enjoyed reading his more biographical works. I haven’t the math skills to tackle the “real” work.
