The path from Lee-Yang to Yang-Mills is short (~months) but the shortness is instructive

(It's more than just a lesson in style, imho. Lee-Yang could become more famous than Yang-Mills, in time! Like you're implying there-- that was a honest mistake on your part; your claim to "idiocy" teaches less than it might seem :).

See this comment which might seem completely throwaway https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45632370)

In the same vein, here is a short-note of Yang, readable to nonscientists, here:

Necessary Subtlety and Unnecessary Subtlety

It's also an artifact of my subfield (nEDM): A common "history of nEDM" goes Lee-Yang then skip forward to Cronin and Fitch, then sketch a picture of how nEDM violates T (and P, but that's not groundbreaking), then talk about how the French used a decommissioned naval gun turret for one of their experiments. Bless 'em.

Have you ever seen The Timetables of History? It re-syncs world events that you learned about from disparate sources. I kind of need that here!

Thanks! I've squirreled your perspectives here as they are likely to be useful at some point..
