Given that his sister Joan was an accomplished scientist in her own right, and they got along well, I don't think your comment is accurate. > “During the conference I was staying with my sister in Syracuse. I brought the paper home and said to her, “I can’t understand these things that Lee and Yang are saying. It’s all so complicated.” > “No,” she said, “what you mean is not that you can’t understand it, but that you didn’t invent it. You didn’t figure it out your own way, from hearing the clue. What you should do is imagine you’re a student again, and take this paper upstairs, read every line of it, and check the equations. Then you’ll understand it very easily.” > I took her advice, and checked through the whole thing, and found it to be very obvious and simple. I had been afraid to read it, thinking it was too difficult.” http://wavefunction.fieldofscience.com/2017/04/richard-feynm... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joan_Feynman |
