Um insuspeito frequentador:
In one afternoon, my brother showed me a book of Feynman's biography entitled "Surely You're Joking Mr. Feynman!". He explained: this is a biography of physicist who won a Nobel Prize in 1965. In that book, as told to Ralph Leighton, Feynman told stories beginning from his childhood (as a whizkid - he was born in 1918) until his last days in 1988. The stories comprise hillarious as well as amazing experiences during his life: fixing radio by thinking (when he was 11), attending MIT (B.Sc in 1939) - Princeton (Ph.D in 1942) - Caltech (professorship) for the sake of Physics (obtained PhD at 24 y.o.), joining Manhattan Project and making "contribution" in bombing Japan, playing around with abacus seller, learning how to draw sketches, learning how to play frigideira (brazillian instrument), married three times, publishing bunch of papers on physics, doing mathematical formulation in a striptease club, finding out the cause of space shuttle Challenger explosion, keen on adventure to Touva, and many more. Well, that's enough to make me curious about reading the book!
Nada como uma boa companhia...

Vor geraumer Zeit hatte ich das Buch “QED - Quantenelektrodynamik” von Richard P. Feynman gelesen. Feynman war ein US Physiker, der für seine Arbeiten über die QED 1965 den Nobelpreis erhielt. Die Besonderheit an Feynman ist jedoch sein liberaler Lebensstil (er besuchte regelmäßig Striptease-Bars zum Entspannen), sowie seine Versuche, die Physik in einer Form […]
