There are children playing in the streets who could solve some of my top problems in physics, because they have modes of sensory perception that I lost long ago.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Physics is a hobby of mine, as much as a person of limited intelligence can understand physics.
The biggest problem with dyslexic kids is not the perceptual problem, it is their perception of themselves. That was my biggest problem.
Kids have to experiment a little or figure out where they belong.
I think that I got committed to physics at the age of - oh, it must have been 1942 - ten, when most countries were at war and children were interested in airplanes and bombs and such things.
Without renouncing the support of physics, it is possible for the physiology of the senses, not only to pursue its own course of development, but also to afford to physical science itself powerful assistance.
I was a problem child, and problem children do the seemingly insane because they are trying to find out how to fit into the scheme of things.
Playgrounds are essentially machines to induce Newtonian physics on our own bodies.
Children have such vibrant minds. They need to play. They need to be creative. They need to imagine. It's so important for their sense of self discovery. And it helps them learn problem-solving.
I found collaborating with congenial doctors about problems that physicists could help solve was very satisfying. I also like educating anybody who would listen!
I had no new ideas on the physics we might learn, and I could not compete with the younger generation.
