Feynman :: Rules of Chess

RRRRussia Says:

Dec 22, 2010 - perhaps that the rules don't seem to change implies that the game has been fully defined. if that is so, then perhaps that implies that the entire rule set can be known. in this case we will most likely one day know the entire rules set of (the universe) chess.alternatively, if the game is still being defined, then we should expect the rules to constantly be changing (which they are not).

Mar 12, 2011 - It's never too late to expand your knowledge! Just because the option of having it as a major may no longer be present, it doesn't entail that your capacity to learn something that you *want* to learn is diminished. My case was a bit different: I didn't have school as an option, so I spent my time at Half Price books and learned it all myself. Then, when school became an option a few years later, I got started on a wonderful journey. No looking back, heh.

Aug 11, 2011 - Scientists figure out the rules... engineers get to play the game.

Aug 26, 2011 - i love this analogy its inspiring! i study phisycs and this is a very good analogy it is aopropiate. Every time we venture in quantum theory new theorys and phenomenons that are new, it is like a double sword, because we learn by discovering but it always leaves as much questions as it answers.

Aug 28, 2011 - An excellent exposition of Scientific method by a brilliant scientist.What I loved most about Richard Feynman was his playful sense of humor and practical joking:safecracking at Los Alamos and deliberately leaving classified documents lying around for a laugh.Must have been a headache for Security folk.The safecracking mullarkey just cracks me up.

Feb 4, 2012 - it was Albert Einstein who said that!!!!

Feb 20, 2012 - Eistein said something similar but it was that if you can`t explain it to a child...

Feb 25, 2012 - I think it was Dirac who originally used the chess metaphor.
