Random quote of the day:


"First you guess. Don’t laugh, this is the most important step. Then you compute the consequences. Compare the consequences to experience. If it disagrees with experience, the guess is wrong. In that simple statement is the key to science. It doesn’t matter how beautiful your guess is or how smart you are or what your name is. If it disagrees with experience, it’s wrong. That is all there is to it."

—Richard Feynman, broadcast class lecture, NOVA, “The Best Mind Since Einstein,” 1993

He had an amazing mind. One of the guys I used to work with was one of his students. Totally idolized him.
