Re:Feynman transcripts of five interviews [1966-1973] on Wednesday December 01, 2021 @02:41PM (#29408208)

According to this tweet [1] there are also audio tapes available, I haven't been able to get them (yet). I did send a mail to [email protected] if they would consider to put a copy on the site.

Re:How the belief in beauty has triggered a crisis in physics on Saturday June 16, 2018 @03:28PM (#17328890)

Peter Woit writes regularly about this crisis on his blog "Not Even Wrong". He wrote about Sabine Hossenfelder’s new book "Lost in Math" here https://www.math.columbia.edu/~woit/wordpress/?p=10314

Feynman reminds us that "The first principle is that you must not fool yourself, and you are the easiest person to fool."
