A Feyman story which is neither an obvious invention nor designed to prove that Feynman was the smartest/coolest/sexiest sentient being in the observable universe!

After the long flight to Santiago, we got into a very small plane to fly to the south of Chile. (While at the airport in Santiago, my bag with essentially all my important stuff was stolen, but I got it back in time. A fascinating story for another time.) After arriving, we were collected by a Phillip Helbighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12067585245603436809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22973357.post-83069876016253084462011-12-11T13:47:49.332-05:002011-12-11T13:47:49.332-05:00it sounds a lot like a variation on an old Pauli s...it sounds a lot like a variation on an old Pauli story...in his case, he asked the manager of a train station if he had seen some strange looking people arriving the day beforeProfessor Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08227006868149583276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22973357.post-68324180842562001032011-12-10T08:32:49.164-05:002011-12-10T08:32:49.164-05:00Hi Bee & Stefan,

I guess if all else failed he could have resorted the path integral approach to find his way and yet it certainty wouldn’t as it did with this method require the least action for him as he would have been forced to Phil Warnellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15671311338712852659noreply@blogger.com
