Content introduction
He is a genius, but also the unattainable "magician", always have new ideas to solve problems;
With a "super power", he easily shuttles between the spirit of play and the wisdom of exploration;
With his dazzling life experience, candid attitude and inexhaustible enthusiasm, he is the idol of scientists.
...
This is Feynman - curious boy, passionate lover, Nobel Prize winner, atomic bomb maker, "Challenger" accident investigator, bongo drummer, master lockpick... He blazed a remarkable trail for twentieth-century physics. From top scientists to the curious public, Feynman left an extraordinary mark on everything he participated in and everyone he touched.
In Gleick's hands, Feynman's world of thought is as fascinating as his life. The brilliant legacy of this genius is not just intellectual, but intellectual: What do we really need to know in this uncertain world? How do we know? What is the point of understanding the world?
