[The following is a test - please disregard if it posts]For anyone who'd like to hear Feynman talking about something other than physics, Click on "Los Alamos From Below - RP Feynman" and listen away.It's classic Feynman talking about his experiences at Los Alamos during the Manhattan Project and all the fun he had along the way. He talks about everything from his meeting with the great Neils Bohr to his wife driving the censorship team crazy with his letters to his wife.

I worship no one. Again, you make assumptions.If, by "hero", you imply somebody who gives of themselves selflessly to either aid or better mankind, then yes he certainly qualifies. The course of history attests that "heroes", like all mortal men, have dark deeds in their lives right alongside that which makes them "heroes". Feynman was no exception.Show me a "hero" who has not done great wrongs, and I'll show you a human being you know nothing of.

I cannot for the life of me imagine that any Jewish guy in 1940's would be impelled to work on a weapon which would assure the defeat of Nazism and the genocide they were committing at the time. Not only did they butcher Jewish people all over Europe but they did it to Serbs, Gypsies, the mentally ill and the physically handicapped too. Oh, and let's not forget homosexuals. The crime was in using the bomb on an already defeated Japan and that was done by politicians and military hawks.

You need a break. So, what do you suggest? People like him were working for the US govt at a time when he was needed. That was a bad time for US and it is lucky that he did contribute. Just like you are against him (I do not know whom you like), we are for people like him. We like him for everything from his creativity to his patriotism. After you do anything close to his work, come back and speak.

the guy was brilliant, i'm not disputing that. i concur that if germany were to have developed the bomb 'the world would have been doomed.' but please, continue your hero worship.

You're an idiot. The original motivation to create the bomb was the fear that Hitler might create such a weapon first. Had that happened, the world would have been doomed. In hindsight, we know that Germany didn't build that bomb, but that's hindsight. Don't be overly simplistic in your thinking. Things are more complicated in real life. |
