Richard Feynman learning about knowing the name of something

A KZbin #Shorts where Feynman shares an anectdote on knowing the name of something vs. knowing the thing that he learned from his father

[@maazalam6519]

I have been thinking like this since childhood

[@quantacipher]

I also learned the same very earlier because of Feynman.

[@joaoruxa]

"Bom da peida" obrigado Feynman por agora saber o nome deste passaro

[@alikearound8373]

This is exactly the reason why I think most memorization of most organic and inorganic reaction is a waste of time. All we know is a certain chemical a reacts with B to give c and we are told exactly nothing about them, how they look etc.

[@ahlamamr4659]

Yesss couldn’t agree more. I think that was my problem in chemistry we took a lot of chemical reactions and they told us to just memorize it.

[@fernandotanase114]

Yeah but it takes time to build the intuition and deeply understand those concepts. In the beginning you have to "memorize", it takes time until it clicks.

[@a.c4139]

​@@fernandotanase114 very we'll said Theory is the basis of experiment/practical

[@mokshakumar4949]

Yeah, if you try think deeper, you realise you actually don't know a thing about it, all you know is getting answer following a protocol.

[@normal981]

So then just understand its mechanism

[@MlmlBruh]

Names are important if you need to communicate with someone.

[@ahvavee]

Feynman mentioned that in another interview. When talking about this or that experiment etc. 😊

[@BHOUTIKBANGALI]

Awesome man

[@marioguelbenzu2348]

Another wonderful ENTP❤❤❤❤❤

[@Cursedleftfoot]

He's my favourite ENTP ever!

As an IMO gold medal winner, I am extremely annoyed when questions require you to know terminology instead of being an actual challenge. Imagine thinking that terminology is an important part of a subject. This is immediately debunked by just realising other languages exist. For anyone wondering, the IMO is the world's main math competition, and the questions can be understood by high-schoolers. Because they are the ones that compete.

[@davejoseph5615]

OTOH, it is difficult to discuss something when the something has no name.

[@SouleymaneDiallo-bb2pl]

I think even that is how birds are like human!!!

[@kittykat5090]

where am i

[@imabitsad]

Holy shit this opened a new view to me

[@frankteng]

I feel like that’s how people fuck up with god and about anything

[@voxman428]

explain?

[@user-fx3hk2yk2u]

Ought to tell this to a post-structuralist!

[@srikanthdoosa1886]

Looks like jiddu Krishnamurthy philosophy

[@MrSilus2000]

Indigenous ppl around the world understood this long ago. This isn’t new

[@RamanujanPi]

Feynman 😏😏😏. I love physics not you 😏😏😏😔😌

[@7-i22daksheshrao8]

Typical Bhakt 😂
