"Feynman, I know why all electrons have the same charge and the same mass" |

"Why?" "Because, they are all the same electron!" One-electron universe http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One-electron_universe

5. Just like Feynman I can't tell my right from my left hand. I have to pretend to write or play the |
|
'air' piano to figure it out. Does that mean I'm brilliant too? LOL!

10. You mean there are people who don't have to do that? |
|
I've managed to get it down to "think about picking up a pencil", but I figured everyone had some sort of trick for this.

|
I was touched to have that in common with such a great man.

8. Richard Feynman was possibly the smartest American, ever. |
|
He's the father of quantum mechanics. John Wheeler was no slouch either. His book Gravitation has been regarded the finest explanation of how gravity is understood under general relativity. Wheeler, really, was the nuttier of the two. Feynman was more of a wit.

11. And should be able to have states in/as multiple "universes". |
|
Not just this one. This can be a single facet of something larger.

Total knowledge is out there, we just haven't reached it yet. Yes, as far as your intellect and senses can perceive, it is out there. :sarcasm:

Dr. Feynman is one of my heroes, a real, actual iconoclast.
Anyone that played the bongos is all right with me.
Besides being one of the soaring intellects of the last two centuries.
