Тонкости
Продолжая читать "What do you care what other people think" by Richard Feynman, натолкнулся на очень интересное и не однозначное место. Заставляет задуматься над множеством вопросов. Это отрывок из письма Freeman Dyson.
Не лерическое отступление.
Пусть Вас не вводят в заблуждение начальные слова википедии о Дайсоне - "British-born American". Он родился в 1923 и только 1947 переехал в США. Это самый настоящий британец, и это важно. А вот, что примичательно в этой статье на википедии -
"He was the first person (besides Feynman) to appreciate the power of Feynman diagrams, and his paper written in 1948 and published in 1949 was the first to make use use of them. He said in that paper that Feynman diagrams were not just a computational tool, but a physical theory, and developed rules for the diagrams that completely solved the renormalization problem. Dyson's paper and also his lectures presented Feynman's theories of QED (quantum electrodynamics) in a form that other physicists could understand and undoubtedly facilitated the physics community's acceptance of Feynman's work."
А теперь, назад, к письму.
"Feynman is a man for whom I am developing a considerable admiration: ... in general he is always sizzling with new idea, most of which are more spectacular than helpful, and hardly any of which get very far before some newer inspiration eclipses it. His most valuable contribution to physics is as a sustainer of morale; when he bursts into the room with his latest brain-wave and Proceeds to expound on it with the most lavish sound efects and waving about of the arms, life at least is not dull."
