Continue. posture For the first half of this book, consider the remaining chapters.

  1. What is science? A lecture for young teachers, where Feynman wanted to share with him his approach to understanding the essence of things, that is, how to look at the world with curiosity and impartiality, but above all how to learn to doubt everything.
  2. The biggest smart guy in the world. - here Feynman confesses his love for physics and says that he loves philosophy the least, and also discusses QED, about which there is a separate book "QED - the strange theory of light and matter", about which I am already told
  3. The science of blinding savagery: some observations about science, pseudoscience and recommendations on how not to be fooled - here Feynman tells a cool story about the cargo cult and gives the story of the natives on the islands who built straw planes and an airfield so that they again began to receive cargo from the big land:)
  4. It's easy. Just, Two, Three is a funny story about Feynman in his college days that demonstrates his experimental approach to figuring out the mystery of counting and time.
  5. Richard Feynman is building the universe. - Here Feynman coolly talks about his first speech to scientists, which happened immediately before the Nobel laureates:) And about the Nobel Prize call, to which Richard replied, "Can you let me know this in the morning?"
  6. Relationship between science and religion A philosophical lecture at the end of which Feynman brings together "the two great legacies of Western civilization": the spirit of scientific adventure and Christian ethics. Science allows us to participate in an exciting journey into the unknown, where the secrets of the universe remain unshakable and everything is questionable, and religion provides the basis for the love and brotherhood of people, speaks of the value of the individual and the humility of the spirit.

P.S. It's funny that I got this book after going to Phystech for a talk I'm talking about. told earlier.
