"The first principle is that you must not fool yourself — and you are the easiest person to fool. So you have to be very careful about that. After you've not fooled yourself, it's easy not to fool other scientists. You just have to be honest in a conventional way after that."

Richard Feynman, one of my heroes when I used to study physics. And this idea is valid not only for physics.

P. S. There are several videos of Feynman on YouTube. When I was a student, such a thing didn't exist:

And Caltech made his Lectures on Physics available online:

Bonus: the first chapters of each volume don't need advanced math to understand.

Today, I attended a conference on open data. While I was browsing this book, one of the organizers gave me a copy!

We then had a nice conversation about quantum mechanics, science, and the importance of schools in fostering curiosity. I initially spoke in German but switched to English when I saw that he wanted to know more about quantum physics.

Of course, I had to mention Feynman!

Combien de fois avez-vous cru comprendre quelque chose sans pouvoir vraiment l'expliquer ?

Feynman avait une règle simple : si vous ne pouvez pas expliquer un concept à un enfant de 12 ans, vous ne le maîtrisez pas.

On a testé sur nos propres articles. Résultat : on croyait comprendre plus qu'on ne comprenait réellement.

Quel sujet vous donne cette impression de comprendre sans concrètement le maîtriser ?
