Richard Feynman said physics is a “horrible subject” if a teacher quizzes you

1 pointsby tazedsoulabout 5 years ago
There’s an old interview that’s well circulated at this point in which Richard Feynman answers various questions about physics. I think it’s worth sharing a nugget of gold from that interview, which until today I somehow had personally missed and suspect others haven’t heard before. It’s a statement about how studying physics is ruined by the school approach.<p>On physics, Feyman said:<p>&quot;I don&#x27;t want to take this stuff seriously. I think we should just have fun imagining it and not worry, like there&#x27;s no teacher that&#x27;s gonna ask you questions at the end -- otherwise, it&#x27;s a horrible subject.&quot;<p>This is said at about 7:01 in the following video:<p>https:&#x2F;&#x2F;youtu.be&#x2F;P1ww1IXRfTA<p>Agree? Disagree? Thoughts?
