Richard Feynman (1918-1988)

But you got to stop and think about the complexity, the INCONCEIVABLE nature of nature! 你需要停下來思考一下這些複雜性，這些不可思議的自然之本質(zhì)。

I was born not knowing, and have only had a little time to change that here and there. — Richard Feynman 我生來一無所知，只是有一點時間在這兒或那兒對此做些改變。

Their father, Melville Feynman, worked for a company which made uniforms. This exposure to the military led to a strong rejection of authority, a value he instilled in his son. One of the things that my father taught me was a disrespect. He'd open a picture, a New York Times, maybe it was a General, and he'd say, "Now, look at these humans," he'd say. "Here's one human standing here and all these others are bowing. Now, what is the difference? Why are they all bowing to him? Only because of his name and his position. Because of his uniform. Not because of something he especially did." 為一家製作軍服的公司工作的父親對自己的兒子注入的價值觀：反對威權(quán)

To every man is given the key to the gates of heaven. The same key opens the gates of hell. — Buddhist saying, re-quoted by Richard Feynman 每個人都被給予一枚通往天堂之門的鑰匙，同一枚鑰匙也開啟地獄之門。(佛教徒的說法，為費曼引用)

Despite being a key member of the most secret Government project of the war, Feynman's streak of maverick mischief was never far away. 'So I used to pick the locks all the time and point out that it was very easy to do, and every time we had a meeting of the whole…everybody together, I'd get up and I'd say that we have important secrets and we shouldn't keep them in such thing. We need better locks!' 開鎖的癖好 /最出色的偵探也可以是最出色的竊賊

There is pleasure in recognizing old things from a new viewpoint. — Richard Feynman 有一種喜悅在於從一個新的視點去認知舊事物之中。

They expected me to be wonderful to offer me a job like this, and I wasn't wonderful. I though to myself, "I haven't done anything important. And I'm never going to do anything important. But I used to enjoy physics and mathematical things and because I used to play with it, it was never very important. But I used to do things for the fun of it. So I decided, I'm going to do things only for the fun of it. " 對自己的清醒認識以及只出於玩樂去做事情的心態(tài) /是玩樂而不是享樂

The simple little diagrams Feynman had invented were a brilliant way to sidestep the complicated calculations required for QED. They were a sort of shortcut, allowing him to avoid the infinities and make meaningful predictions about the world. He saw that there was actually a sort of pictorial way of thinking about these pictures, these equations. You could associate a little cartoon, a little Feynman diagram, as we now call them, to every one of these terms in the equation. 用簡單的圖形 (diagram) 巧妙避開QED(Quantum ElectroDynamics 量子電磁力學) 中 infinite ∞ 的 indefinite. 用一種圖形化 (pictorial) 的方式思考情景圖像以及方程。 /如果費曼的藝術(shù)老師是達芬奇本尊也許繪畫和物理都將更進一大步

The prize is the pleasure of finding the thing out. The kick in the discovery. The observation other people use it. Those are the real things! The honours are unreal to me. I don't believe in honours. It bothers me. Honours bothers me! Honours is epaulettes. Honours is uniforms. 發(fā)現(xiàn)事物真相的樂趣就是獎賞 /諾貝爾獎的得主都不屑得獎這才是諾貝爾獎的意義

Stop trying to fill your head with science - for to fill your heart with love is enough. — Richard Feynman 有愛足夠 (mischievous backfire letter)

Probability & Uncertainty - the quantum mechanical view of nature Professor Richard Feynman gives the message lectures Cornell University 費曼在康乃爾大學的演講：可能性與不可確定性 － 自然的量子機械視點

Californian artist, Jirayr Zorthian (1911-2004) 加州亞美尼亞裔藝術(shù)家 They met at a party where Feynman played bongos.

I think he maybe got a kick out of working with his hands, but particularly the pen and doing features of people. So enthusiastic an art student was Feynman, that he took to spending time in Giannoni's, a strip bar in Pasadena. Here, he divided his attention between sketching the girls and solving physics equations. 用繪畫捕捉人物的特徵

We both liked spaghetti, because it was easy to cook, and I ask him why it was that when you broke a piece of spaghetti, it often broke into three pieces, instead of two? You should try it, it really does. So, of course, he came up with a theory of it immediately, but instead of being satisfied with it he constructed an experiment to see if the theory was true, which involved slowly moving the spaghetti off the end of the table and breaking it at different lengths. And then, that theory was wrong and he came up with another theory and then each theory would lead to another experiment. By the time the evening was over, we had broken spaghetti all over the place and we STILL didn't know why spaghetti broke in three places. 義大利麵條三斷論的實驗 ／其實生活中處處是驚奇

He didn't need the external validation of having everybody respecting him all the time, because he respected himself, he knew he was an extraordinary person. 他並不需要外部的肯定讓每個人在任何時候都要遵奉他 /越是糟糕的教授越會自卑到讓學生必須尊稱professor

Freely admitting that, yes, he was laughing at his own history. 他會對自己的過去發(fā)笑

I have a friend who's an artist and he's sometimes taken a view, which I don't agree with very well. You hold up a flower and say, "Look how beautiful it is." And I'll agree. And he says, I, as an artist, can see how beautiful this is, but you, as a scientist, take this all apart and it becomes a dull thing. And I think that he's kind of nutty. First of all, the beauty that he sees is available to other people and to me too. I believe, although I may not be quite as refined aesthetically as he is, that I can appreciate the beauty of the flower. At the same time, I see much more about the flower than he sees. I could imagine the cells in there, the complicated actions inside, which also have a beauty. I mean, it's not just beauty at this dimension of one centi-metre, there's also beauty at a smaller dimensions, the inner structure. Also the processes. The fact that the colours and the flower are evolved in order to attract insects to pollinate it is interesting. It means that insects can see the colour. It adds a question, does this aesthetic sense also exist in the lower forms? Why is it aesthetic? All kinds of interesting questions, which are science knowledge only adds to the excitement and mystery and the awe of a flower. It only adds. I don't understand how it subtracts.

我有一個朋友他是藝術(shù)家，他有時持有一種見解我並不是很同意。他拿起一枝花說，“看它多漂亮”，我同意，然後他說，我是一個藝術(shù)家，能夠看到它是多麼漂亮，而你，是一個科學家，你把它都分解開來，就會變得很無趣了。我覺得這就有點怪異了。首先，他看到的那種美對其他人和我都是可以看到的。我相信，儘管我可能沒有像他那樣更精練審美的程度，我也是可以欣賞花朵之美的。而同時，關(guān)於花我比他看到的更多。我可以想像它的細胞，其中的複雜動作，這些也都有一種美。我的意思是，並不是只在這一釐米的尺度之上的美，再更小的尺度上，在它的內(nèi)部結(jié)構(gòu)中，也有美。也包括各種過程。花朵顏色的進化旨在吸引昆蟲授粉這個事實也是很有趣的。它意味著昆蟲可以看到色彩。它增加了一個問題，在低等(生物)形式中是否也存在這樣的美感？為什麼會是審美？ 各種各樣有趣的問題，科學知識只會對在一枝花的興奮感 (excitement)，神秘 (mystery) 和驚奇 (awe) 有所增加。它只會增加，我不明白它怎麼會減少。

/這是費曼被引用很多的一段話?？茖W和藝術(shù)，無論對立或者一致，總是很難分割。這位所謂“藝術(shù)家”，他的意思就好像，你看那有個美女真是太美了，但如果你知道那美女也會拉屎放屁，那你就不會覺得美了，而是變得平淡無聊。就對自然的審美而言，藝術(shù)家和普通人並沒有多大分別，分別在於藝術(shù)家在觀察、思考、表達的創(chuàng)作過程，都不是簡單的複製，而是同科學家一樣的探索。因此當觀察流於表面的時候，結(jié)果可想而知。將美女物化與將她做為一個複雜的人欣賞到的美有深淺之分。另外，如果說拒絕理性思考是為了有更多想像的空間，依然與創(chuàng)作者的知識和經(jīng)歷有關(guān)，否則就只會是臆想，結(jié)局通常是精神分裂癥。優(yōu)秀的藝術(shù)作品是可以被從各種層面理解的，因為它最接近自然真實的本質(zhì)。

And so on Monday morning we met in my office and he sat down and started working, and he was consumed by it. All his energy and attention was devoted to solving this problem. 所有的能量和注意力都在致力於解決問題

For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations for nature can not be fooled. — Richard Feynman 真相必需優(yōu)先公共關(guān)係，因為自然不能被愚弄。

He asked me what I thought he should do so I just asked him, "Do you think it's an important problem?" And he said, yes he did. I said, "Do you think you can make a difference?" And he said, after a while, he said, "Well, yeah, probably can." I didn't say another word. And after a few minutes hesitation he said, "To hell with you, Hibbs," and hung up. 你認為它是一個重要的問題嗎？你認為你可以讓它有些不同嗎？

William Rogers (1913-2001) 美國政治家，外交官，律師。 His formal, bureaucratic approach was the polar opposite of the freewheeling maverick professor. General Donald Kutyna (1933- ) 美國空軍軍官。 And so I went through this very logical step-by-step process of how you investigate a space, /在 formal, bureaucratic approach 和 logic step-by-step 之間似乎有種內(nèi)在的相似。但是當規(guī)程變成繁文縟節(jié)，政府的效率就會降低；而邏輯一步步的清晰明了卻有利調(diào)查工作的進行。

It wasn't simply a technical puzzle, there was a human puzzle going on too. I already smell certain rats that I will not forget because I just love the smell of rats, for it is the spore of exciting adventure.' 這並不是一個簡單的技術(shù)謎題，而是也上演著一個人間謎題。我已經(jīng)嗅到某種騙局的味道我不會忽略因為我喜歡這個味道，它是這場令人興奮的冒險的胞芽。

NASA wanted to control everything that they gave to the Commission and actually withheld things. They didn't lie, but they certainly didn't go around blabbing the truth either. NASA對調(diào)查委員會有所保留

It was Feynman's chance. He decided to use the power of a classic science demonstration. 這是費曼的機會。他決定運用經(jīng)典科學演示的力量。

In the summer of 1986, the Commission's report was submitted. In its appendix, Feynman added a stark reminder about the limits of science. His last recommendation I think really summed it up in one simple paragraph. "For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for nature cannot be fooled." 對於一項成功的技術(shù)而言，真相必需優(yōu)先於公共關(guān)係，因為自然不會被愚弄。 /在一個不追求真相的國度，既不會有科學也不會有藝術(shù)。只有踩在空中軟綿綿的感覺，等著必然到來一再會來的自然的懲罰。

I got off on the subject. I said, "I've been thinking about an invariant in turbulent flow." He said, "What do you mean?" I explained a little bit what it was all about. The invariant, you know. I said, "Well under these, such and such conditions." And he says, "Let's see." So I had a notebook there. He took the notebook and he started, he wrote it all down step by step. think it took 13 steps to get to that. He says, "Yes, that's true, it is an invariant." Then he says, "You got me thinking about physics again. I can go home now." / invariant… 想起一個很久遠的疑問，invariant 和 constant 有區(qū)別嗎？

'"The whole universe is in a glass of wine." I don't think we'll ever know in what sense he meant that. For the poets don't like to be understood.' 詩人不喜歡被理解

The most important thing I found out from [my father] is that if you asked any question and pursued it deeply enough, then at the end there was a glorious discovery of a general and beautiful kind. No Ordinary Genius wikiquote????

他有一個愛他的父親，從小給他念大英百科全書，支持他做各種奇怪實驗。他自己也是個有愛的父親，每周陪兒子散步，解答各種各樣的問題。

無比欣賞費曼對于諾貝爾獎的態(tài)度【I have already got the prize. The prize is the pleasure of finding the thing out. The kick in the discovery. The observation other people use it. Those are the real things. The honors are unreal to me.】

給看了自己節(jié)目而瘋狂著迷自己的學生母親寫信：物理不是最重要的，愛才是。

與藝術(shù)家朋友討論花的欣賞：可以欣賞常人眼中的花的外表，也可以欣賞它的細胞，化學反應。同時，花的美艷是為了吸引昆蟲前來采蜜以便授粉，也就是說昆蟲也能欣賞花的美———美感也存在于低等生物之中?！茖W知識只是將有趣的問題附加給花。

69歲的光陰，早年喪妻，中年到最后都在保受癌癥困擾。然而他熱愛生活，好奇感，好玩感，反獨裁，自由探索充斥著他的生活！有趣！

一部紀錄片讓我們重新認識物理學家這個偉大的團體，他門無時無刻不在改變著我們的生活，但我們在課堂上舉起手，高傲的說著自己想當一個物理學家的夢想，有幾人能在日后的生活中付諸實踐，我們把物理看的很遙遠，我們對于知識的應用僅僅停留在書本和試卷上，這是我們無時無刻不在詬病的應試教育的地方，但我們又有幾人能將這種想法灌輸給我們的下一代，不，我們還是遵循著規(guī)則，我們知道這個規(guī)則如此重要，打破這個規(guī)則又是如此之難。但費曼的一生證明了，規(guī)則的打破我們不是斬釘截鐵的喊出，我們也可以開著玩笑就把事情解決，除了物理學家，教育家，我看到的是一個完美的父親，一個在自己父親那里繼承了——將榮譽看淡，因為除了那身皮，沒有人會向你鞠躬，你要的榮譽和榮耀絕不停留在這里。

(^^ゞ敬禮，你這個可愛的老頭

dance like a child

神奇的費曼先生 第一次聽說是看了一本叫做別鬧了費曼的書，第二次是在公交上聽到費曼給艾琳寫的信，很感人。好像是在艾琳過世很久以后。 費曼的家庭教育非常好，爸爸從小就希望把他培養(yǎng)成科學家。爸爸會給他生動地講很多東西，培養(yǎng)他的好奇心。從小他就是個腦洞大開的孩子，做各種實驗，甚至付費給他的妹妹，讓她把手指頭伸到電流里面去表演被電擊。。。 什么叫愛情？即使知道艾琳將不久人世，仍然堅定地娶了她。 他的智慧造福了人類，他第一次很好地說明了量子力學。他的智慧被用于造原子彈，給日本帶來的毀滅性打擊讓他痛苦不已。 他是一個有趣，有人格魅力的人。作為當代最偉大的物理學家，他去脫衣舞吧觀察脫衣舞娘，給他們畫像，他還研究生物學，非洲鼓。。。 Nasa的挑戰(zhàn)者號失事，他打破自己永遠不去華盛頓的flag，去現(xiàn)場揭穿了nasa當局的遮羞布。 最后讓我淚目的一點事，他患癌癥死亡之前，舉起手，吐舌頭，做了一個魔術(shù)師會做的動作。 那是他的遺言，臨死都在探索這個世界，都在玩。 這就是最偉大的人，他就是物理學那人道的一面。從事物理，不是為了名聲，他是諾貝爾物理學獎為草芥。不是為了金錢，只是為了自己喜歡，一生都在玩。 我多么希望也能成為這樣的人，或者接近他，哪怕一點點吧。

費曼對于諾貝爾獎的態(tài)度，預料之中

I have already got the prize. The prize is the pleasure of finding the thing out. The kick in the discovery. The observation other people use it. Those are the real things. The honors are unreal to me.

別人可能有幾個好玩的故事可以講，費曼有上百個

物理學不是最終要的，愛才是——費曼給他的研究生學生寫的一封信。

費曼去打工的經(jīng)歷。

費曼最擅長的不是構(gòu)想一個新的理論，而是基于已經(jīng)發(fā)現(xiàn)的東西， 但他的厲害之處在于，他比所有人都理解地好，他擅長用一個新的角度去理解一個舊的知識。

費曼和一朵漂亮的花
