Feynman rocks!

I liked him even when I when I had jus gone through the first chapter of "Surely u're jokin .." By the time I finished it I was in love with this man...and this quote is THE BEST!

Science is a lot like sex.
Sometimes something useful comes of it, but that's not the reason we're doing it.
-Richard Feynman



More of Feynman's pearls of wisdom next time.

The Feynman Problem solving algorithm:

1) Write down the question

2) Think very hard

3) Write down the answer

Looks like you discovered Feynman :).

Along the same lines, Mark Kirschner http://sysbio.med.harvard.edu/faculty/kirschner/
was asked by an enthusiastic student :

"What is Systems Biology?"

To which is answer was :

"Umm...Systems Biology is like Porn. You know it when you see it."

I've heard this happen. It's true.

This one I have heard being attributed to Feynman,
"Physics is to Mathematics what sex is to masturbation."
