Today, I came across Landau's Wikipedia page and the biography of Landau written by Dr. Lifshitz in Volume 1 of Course of Theoretical Physics "Mechanics". His diverse knowledge in theoretical physics and research attitude really impress me a lot. His name indeed appears in many physics textbooks, but what astonished me the most is that he learned about the latest research results from seminars instead of reading papers, and he always by himself worked out the novel research results that interested him instead of following the authors' reasonings.
I hope to use this blog to share some of my random thoughts.
