I want to go back in time and buy Feynman a beer. — Pat

You & me both. Except whiskey. & several. Imagine the stories!

“It has to do with curiosity. It has to do with people wondering what makes something do something. & then to discover that if you try to get answers they’re related to each other, that things that make the wind make the waves, & the motion of water is like the motion of air is like the motion of sand. The fact that things have common features turns out more & more universal. What we’re looking for is how everything works & what makes everything work. It’s curiosity as to where we are, what we are.

Isn’t it very much more exciting to discover we’re on a ball, half of it sticking upside down as it’s spinning around in space? That’s a much more exciting story to many people than the tales which other people used to make up. They were wonderful stories, but the truth is so much more remarkable.”
