Feynman didn't think he was a genius, he said that he was just an ordinary person who worked very hard. The story in the article actually points this out; he was just curious which led to very beneficial working methods. The idea of geniuses is more of an excuse than an explanation.
- pfortuny 4y agoOrdinary people tend to not do very well with the Stokes formula. Much less with infinite sums (which is essentially what Feynman. diagrams are for). Lots of geniuses are unaware of the difference between their intelligence and other people’s.
- kelipso 4y agoYou can't just start calling people who have a few years of math and physics training geniuses... Infinite sums is a very simple concept once you have some math background and Stokes theorem isn't that complicated either (once you have the right training).
