Why did Feynman emphasize intuition in physics?
Because if you don't understand something intuitively, you don't really understand it at all. Memorizing equations is like knowing the words to a song without hearing the music. You need to be able to picture it, to grasp the underlying principles. My goal was always to get to the heart of the matter, to explain it in a way that makes sense, even if the physics itself is complicated and, well, strange.
