That's brilliant. I used to love watching any Horizon or similar show that had a contribution by Feynman. I'd have loved to have seen him do something like the Christamas lectures.
After reading that, I can confirm that I am fascinated, enthralled, and in awe of Feynman. His creativity, his industry, and, well, his genius. He's all the more brilliant because he says things like ""How is anyone supposed to know that this isn't just a bunch of crap?".
Working in collaborative projects within academia has meant I ask myself this question (about others' research) all the time, yet I do not have the diplomatic position to say it out loud.
OTOH, the USAF will put bigger and bigger amounts of anything together, if it thinks it will make headlines (e.g. MOAB). I hope they remember to to tick "no" next time Sony issues a firmware update.
That's brilliant.
