Would this article be of general interest if it wasn’t about Feynman? (I don’t believe so)
The work Feynman did in Biology that’s discussed here doesn’t seem to be particularly ground breaking, or interesting. It feels like it’s only being treated as such because Feynman did interesting work in other areas and is somewhat idolized for this.
- icebraining 8y agoWould this article be of general interest if it wasn’t about Feynman? Probably not, but I don't think being interested in an individual necessarily means idolizing them. In fact, sometimes the actions that we consider abhorrent is what makes them interesting. That's not the case here, but still, I think there's potential value in studying how a very good physicist approached a foreign subject matter.
