“Symmetry, as wide or as narrow as you may define its meaning, is one idea by which man through the ages has tried to comprehend and create order, beauty, and perfection.”

“The physicist plays a game in which the rules are provided by nature, but as time goes on it becomes increasingly evident that the rules which the mathematician finds interesting are the same as those which nature has chosen.”

Some years ago, I listened to the audio book, To Explain the World: The Discovery of Modern Science, by Steven Weinberg.
The book was about the discovery of the scientific method, not individual scientific facts.

John Preskill points out how, out of Steven Weinberg‘s 50 best known papers, 42 are single author. Weinberg was among a few great physicists like Einstein, Feynman and Dirac who largely did their best work alone.

I have trouble with Dirac. This balancing on the dizzying path between genius and madness is awful.

Bro he larps so hard and it's hilarious.

Anytime my theoretical physics colleagues want to admit to the abysmal state of the field (DEI, Q. Gravity, Stagnation, Ethics issues, abuse, etc.), I’m prepared to use every channel to help in both the U.S. & UK. It’s really important that we don’t lose everything achieved.
