richard feynman

Dick Feynman always made me feel smart. always made me feel we could solve anything together.
he would always win.. but if he lost, he would always laugh and seem to have just as much fun.

a feynman sandwich had a ton of ham but absolutely not baloney.
he hated false pretense

feynman thought it was a necessary part of being a great physicist.. having a father like he had

hist scientific style was to find the simplest solution. he believed if you couldn't explain it simply - you didn't understand it.

feynman diagrams to understand particles


how to honor feynman? by getting as much baloney out of our own sandwiches as we can.
