It's part of our survival instinct to study patterns in nature. This particular trait has led us to ask these important questions and to pursue their answers. And tools such as science & math help us achieve these goals. But, Feynman is also making an interesting point here. He says that "Our main concentration will not be on how clever we are to have found it all out, but on how clever nature is to pay attention to it."

These lectures primarily focus on the characteristics of these laws and how nature follows them. Calling this book "fascinating" is an understatement because it's more like an epiphany.

Another point he emphasizes is how to "science". The scientific methodology asks us to make intuitive guesses & perform rigorous experiments to prove out the ideas. Thorough exercises in reason & logic provides us with a solid foundation, which could be used for improving our lives.

Curiosity sparks the deep yearning to understand oneself & the world. It doesn't always kill the cat.
