Richard Feynman: The Key to Science in 63 Seconds

[Are_grits_groceries]

6. When I watched the video, I believe he meant

observation as in observing an experiment or what occurs even if a strict experiment isn't set up. I believe he meant experience as in the experience of observing the laws of physics in some context,

Feynman seemed to intuit what the laws of physics were and how they related to everything. His sister said he just knew. Hans Bethe, a Nobel Prize winner, said that with Feynman it was impossible to understand how he made some leaps in thinking. He called him a magician.

Feynman was a great teacher and could relate what he knew quite well. However, there were areas that he did indeed seemed to possess magic. He would be proven right by finding the steps that lead to his answer later. He was able to make leaps that seemed easy to him.

My brother was like that on a much smaller scale. We both took the same engineering physics classes, but it was much easier for him. He just seemed to understand the math and laws immediately. i made the same grades, but I had to work much harder at it.

This may not be an answer that satisfies you. It's what I have concluded at this time.
