 Is Electricity Fire?

Писатель: Ричард Фейнман

Глава в томе: Вы, конечно, шутите, мистер Фейнман! (англ.)

Случайный абзац

So here comes this wonderful list of books. I start down the first page: I haven't read a single one of the books, and I feel very uneasy — I hardly belong. I look at the second page: I haven't read a single one. I found out, after looking through the whole list, that I haven't read any of the books. I must be an idiot, an illiterate! There were wonderful books there, like Thomas Jefferson On Freedom, or something like that, and there were a few authors I had read. There was a book by Heisenberg, one by Schrödinger, and one by Einstein, but they were something like Einstein, My Later Fears and Schrödinger, What Is Life — different from what I had read. So I had a feeling that I was out of my depth, and that I shouldn't be in this. Maybe I could just sit quietly and listen.

And he gave a number: It was less! The first guy got up: "If he changes his bid, I have the right to change my bid!" — and his bid is still less! Norris asked, "Well how is that — we get the books earlier and it's cheaper?" "Yes," one guy says. "We can use a special offset method we wouldn't normally use..." — some excuse why it came out cheaper. The other guy agreed: "When you do it quicker, it costs less!" That was really a shock. It ended up two million dollars cheaper. Norris was really incensed by this sudden change.

Nina Byers, a professor at UCLA, became in charge of the physics colloquium sometime in the early seventies. The colloquia are normally a place where physicists from other universities come and talk pure technical stuff. But partly as a result of the atmosphere of that particular period of time, she got the idea that the physicists needed more culture, so she thought she would arrange something along those lines: Since Los Angeles is near Mexico, she would have a colloquium on the mathematics and astronomy of the Mayans — the old civilization of Mexico.

 Cargo Cult Science*

For example, I was a little surprised when I was talking to a friend who was going to go on the radio. He does work on cosmology and astronomy, and he wondered how he would explain what the applications of this work were. "Well," I said, "there aren't any." He said, "Yes, but then we won't get support for more research of this kind." I think that's kind of dishonest. If you're representing yourself as a scientist, then you should explain to the layman what you're doing — and if they don't want to support you under those circumstances, then that's their decision.
