Any questions?
Give me a dollar!
Just ask for it?

I'll sign only thirteen times.
It sounds like Greek
But is this art?
Is electricity fire?
Judge a book by its cover
Another mistake by Alfred Nobel

Into the book
In the Middle Ages, there were various myths, such as the belief that rhinoceros horn would increase strength.
Then a way to separate ideas was discovered.
This is to see if one thing works, and if not, discard it.
Of course, this method developed and became a science.
And this has developed greatly, and we now live in the age of science.
In this scientific age, it is difficult to understand how wizards could exist.
Their magic probably didn't actually work at all (or at most).
But even today, I meet people who talk about UFOs, astrology, various forms of mysticism, expanded consciousness, new forms of poetry, ESP, and so on.
And I came to the conclusion that these things are not science.

People said that after receiving an award from the King of Sweden, he should not turn around but take a step back.
You have to go down a few steps, get a prize, and then go up a few more steps.
So I thought this.
And I practiced jumping backwards and climbing the stairs.
I wanted to show how ridiculous this custom is.
I felt so bad! Of course, this was stupid and foolish.
But I learned that taking a step back is no longer the rule.
When you step away from the king, you can turn around and walk in the direction you want to go like a normal person.
I was very pleased to learn that Swedes do not take royal events as seriously as people usually think.
When I went to Sweden, everyone was on our side.
For example, students are given special awards to Nobel Prize winners.
The winner who receives the little frog must make a frog croaking sound.

I have no obligation to live up to their expectations.
This is not my failure, it is their fault.

Publisher's Review
This book is a compilation of stories that Feynman's friend Ralph Leighton heard when they played drums together. It has been a bestseller in the United States since its first publication, and has been read steadily for over ten years. It also became the catalyst for Feynman to become as famous as Einstein.
Feynman's Footsteps in Physics
Feynman is known in the physics community as an eccentric with a unique personality and diverse hobbies.
He had a great obsession with riddles, was full of mischief in everything he did, and had a burning hatred for pretense and hypocrisy.
This was a very advantageous condition for him to study physics, and it enabled him to think freely in ways that no one else had thought of.
By his early twenties, while attending graduate school at Princeton, he had already emerged as a first-class scientist, giving seminars in front of leading scientists of the time, including Einstein and Pauli.
And when early quantum mechanics had been producing only inaccurate solutions or approximations for nearly 20 years, he made the greatest contribution in formalizing it and achieving remarkable accuracy.
He devised a simple diagram, the famous "Feynman diagram," to easily visualize the complex mathematical expressions needed to describe the shape of systems of interacting particles. This series of studies greatly simplified some of the calculations used to observe and predict interactions, and for this, Feynman shared the Nobel Prize in Physics with Julian Schwinger of the United States and Shinichiro Tomonaga of Japan.
Feynman's Colorful Stories
This book contains honest and entertaining episodes hidden behind all of Feynman's fame and achievements.
It consists of two volumes, and is divided into five parts in chronological order, covering Feynman's adventures and thoughts throughout his life.
Volume 1 covers Feynman's childhood up to his participation in the development of the atomic bomb during World War II, while Volume 2 covers his time as a professor at the California Institute of Technology after attending Cornell University, including the events surrounding the Nobel Prize and stories from Brazil and Japan.
He completely shed the thick overcoat-like stereotypes worn by scientists and other intellectuals, and left behind many amusing and bizarre anecdotes from his interactions with people in laboratories, classrooms, and on the streets.
