This skill goes beyond just distinguishing slop/non-slop papers. It will make us critical (in a good way, to not fool ourselves [1]) even of our own writing, which is good for science.

I recall that Feynman once summarised presentations from a Warsaw gravitation conference as vague, impossible, or "just plain wrong".

Physicists spent eighty years building nanoscale sensors just to confirm Feynman was right in 1948. Photons take every path at once; we remain stuck on this one.

Omg! The QFT class for once went over things I’m familiar with from SFT! Wicks theorem and propagators that are Greens functions etc. it’s weird though because Feynman propagators are not causal, Ive only seen causal propagators.

I've long admired Richard Feynman, having read a couple of his books. Nice to see his name come up!

Akkurat ferdig med Egils saga. Holder på med disse tre:
- Virkelighetsmaskinen av Ingri Lønnebotn
- Du er hjemme nå av Per Petterson
- Surely you're joking Mr. Feynman : adventures of a curious character (han var med i Manhatten-prosjektet, fikk Nobelprisen i fysikk 1965)
- Virkelighetsmaskinen av Ingri Lønnebotn
- Du er hjemme nå av Per Petterson

“Maybe nature is not really quantum mechanical.” A provocative riff on Feynman. Of course nature is quantum mechanical—but perhaps he meant that relevant real-world systems routinely occupy the full Hilbert space, making classical simulation exponentially hard.

The saga continues. Richard Feynman said that a quantum particle takes every possible path at the same time apox 80 years later in China a team of physicists claims they have experimentally shown this is not just an interpretation but physical reality.

Feynman is my favorite dead physicist because not only was he an incredible mind, the dude will hit you with the most genius stuff you ever heard in the dopest white guy Brooklyn accent.

I'm exceptionally weird though because I also managed not to take a single statistics course. The counted Calc 3 instead.
So I can do Feynman Diagrams and vectors, but don't know how to use R or Stata.
