The more deeply you understand it, the better you are at teaching it to others. The Feynman technique for teaching, learning, and communicating is essentially a breakdown of the scientist’s personal thought processes and mental models.• First, identify your subject and write down what you know. Then teach what you know to a child in your own words using clean language and simplified conceptions—be brief and anticipate questions. This will allow you to identify gaps in your learning. Address these, and as you learn, “tell a story” and construct a linear narrative using analogies, metaphor, and vivid, unusual language. This approach applies to any area of inquiry, not just science.• Finally, be cognizant of the different levels of understanding in the hierarchy of ideas. All the intellectual efforts man makes proceed at different levels of explanation and understanding. Know which level you’re on and become curious about the connections between levels. This will increase your insight and problem-solving ability. The appropriate level of inquiry is usually the one that helps you solve the problem you currently have.#EdwardRTufte #Feynman #FeynmanTuftePrinciple #FrankWilczek #Gautama #Heisenberg #JohnBrooke #LocateYourKnowledgeGaps #PaulDavies #RichardFeynmansMentalModels #Tufte #UHA #Wilczek #RussellNewton #NewtonMG #PeterHollins #TheScienceofSelf #RichardFeynman’sMentalModels
