"Yang Zhenning on Intuition - The Truth in the Depths of the Universe"

The master Yang Zhenning has passed away. As the greatest physicist on this blue planet, his discussions on "intuition" are profoundly impactful, evoking a sense of awe akin to the sound of silence. I share his original thoughts with everyone (authoritative source links are provided below).

My lifelong experience is that intuition is naturally formed after repeated training. It is not an innate inspiration, but a mode of thinking that is a sublimation of experience.

Everyone has many intuitions, and many of them need to be corrected.

The process of continuously correcting intuition is the process of self-improvement, and intuition will lead us to new research fields.

When intuition conflicts with book knowledge, it is the best learning opportunity.

Human rationality is limited, and our intuition may approach that deeper order. What that order is, I dare not say, but I am willing to call it the beauty of creation.

The true progress of science lies not in how many facts you know, but in how you view problems and whether your intuition becomes more accurate.

The development of theoretical physics relies not on memory, but on intuition. Cultivating intuition is more difficult than acquiring knowledge.

The true creativity of physicists comes from a profound intuition about nature, not from complex calculations.

Intuition is not conjured from thin air; it is a sense of direction that naturally arises after extensive reading, experimentation, and contemplation.

A researcher at the beginning is like a blind person touching an elephant; after touching it many times, they will slowly form an image. This image is intuition.

At that moment, I could not prove it; I could only feel intuitively that the physical world cannot be so symmetrical.

Below are some sources and articles that are also worth studying.
