ns had perfected their calculations to predict the motion of Venus and it proved reliable over a whole century? Would this constitute understanding? Feynman would say no: the Mayan understanding was not complete. It was only black box equivalent to our modern understanding over a limited period. We known
to good communication as the elegance of the content, and that information is a complex thing. If you want a lighthearted poke at PowerPoint here is Peter Norvig’s PowerPoint version of the Gettysburg Address.

drives creativity. There are also some myths to dispel about creative people. Inventors are portrayed as eccentric and hopelessly disorganized, but Feynman kept notes of every idea he ever had. I have kept a series of notebooks, now computer based, since J left university. I still have almost all of thes
