… my favourite admired physicist. Today I happened on this fine article by Freeman Dyson on Feynman, or more precisely on two books on Feynman. If you are interested in physics in any way, do listen to the “Feynman Lectures” – but quite possible you will know them already. There are other things about Feynman that I admire: his tendency to do outrageous things, his passion for the scientific way, and the invention of the term “cargo cult science”. The article I'm linking here is 2 years old, but I don't care – so-called “innovation” is too fast anyway for my liking.
