Opinion
Preskill: Richard Feynman's refusal to read 1980s literature hurt his research
“The big difference between Feynman and me in the mid-nineteen-eighties is, I was reading literature, and he wasn't. And probably if he had been, it would have, he would have been well-served.”

Opinion
Susskind: Richard Feynman was deeply philosophical despite claiming to dislike philosophy
“Feynman this claimed to dislike Philosophy. He did dislike philosophy, but I'll tell you what that means in a minute. And yet he was the most philosophical of all physicists. He really was. He was a deep philosopher. When I say he didn't like philosophy, I mea…”
