I've read his lectures about 20 years ago. While it sounds impressive, I think you give him too much credit in the field. He stood on the shoulders of giants and his contributions aren't necessarily fact. It's been too long since I read his works so I can't give specific examples of what I say is potentially bogus or over-hyped, but you shouldn't take his lectures as gospel.
understood. circling back to the original poster, he had mentioned
Then I thought about the four Universal constants which are electromagnetism weak nuclear force strong nuclear force and gravity.
my understanding of reality is enriched due to books like QED and my understanding of the standard model of particle physics, so I recommended QED to OP. i trust since you read feynman's lectures 20 years ago, you would agree that if OP is contemplating the universe in terms of the constants he mentioned, OP stands a good chance at benefitting from a book like QED, since the whole point of the book is quantum electrodynamics. perhaps instead of just reacting to feynman's jewish family, you could share a book recommendation with OP based on your understanding of his interests.
Fair enough. That's a reasonable stance we can agree on.
As for recommendations to OP, I don't have any at the moment, but I can try and give him something later on after I have had some time to revisit my own rabbit hole journeys into the world of physics. I tend to take nearly everything quantum related as possibilities rather than truth in waiting so perhaps I will just give OP some ideas of where to look rather than absolute sources. I don't want to bias his contemplations but I also don't want to give him anything that introduces unseen bias.
