Richard Feynman cut straight to the heart of complex ideas

I’m a big fan and believe his crude straight to the point style, coupled with an incredible ability to storytell is what made him special. I think it’s pure, genuine, curiosity and the intellectual capacity to understand the complexities.

There&#x27;s a good example (heh) of feynman explaining an idea here, and it&#x27;s great reading too:<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;longnow.org&#x2F;essays&#x2F;richard-feynman-connection-machine&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;longnow.org&#x2F;essays&#x2F;richard-feynman-connection-machine...</a>

I have a similar policy that all complex ideas in my field should be thoroughly explained on a small test model. It makes learning a lot easier.

Yep. Feynman technique.

My understanding is Feynman was a great explainer partially because he despised jargon and specialized terminology in general.

Wow, that article was <i>really</i> short. I was hoping there would be an actual example of Feynman doing this...
