想起数学家评论爱因斯坦的工作:爱的工作在数学家看来并不难,难就难在爱是如何做出来的呢?(大意)这一直是个迷,因此爱是第二类天才,如 Mark Kac 所言
There are two kinds of geniuses: the "ordinary" and the "magicians." An ordinary genius is a fellow whom you and I would be just as good as, if we were only many times better. There is no mystery as to how his mind works. Once we understand what they've done, we feel certain that we, too, could have done it. It is different with the magicians. Even after we understand what they have done it is completely dark. Richard Feynman is a magician of the highest calibre.
