I wonder why. Why, I wonder.

Ayoung and curious Richard Feynman wrote this simple yet profoundly deep poem while studying in MIT (1935-39), as a part of his submission for a psychology paper.

My Interpretation:

I wonder why (do) I wonder :: why is my brain wired such? what makes my brain work?

I wonder why (do) I wonder why :: why am I curious? why do certain things interest me, while others don’t?

I wonder why I wonder! :: Rene Descartes’ first principle “cogito, ergo sum (I think, therefore I am). Steve Jobs said “Think Different”. Quoting Einstein, “Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world”.
