Thrived on challenging status quo from "summary" of 'Surely You're Joking Mr Feynman!' by Richard Phillips Feynman,Brian Cox
Feynman was never one to simply accept things as they were. He had a natural tendency to question and challenge the status quo, constantly seeking to push the boundaries of knowledge and understanding. This trait was evident in every aspect of his life, from his work as a physicist to his personal pursuits and interactions with others. One of Feynman's most memorable traits was his insatiable curiosity and desire to learn. He was not content to simply accept the information that was presented to him – he wanted to dig deeper, to uncover the underlying principles and assumptions that shaped our understanding of the world. This drive to question and explore led him to make numerous groundbreaking discoveries in the field of physics and earned him a reputation as one of the greatest minds of his generation. Feynman's willingness to challenge the status quo also extended to his interactions with others. He was never one to shy away from a deba...
