|content=No worries. That was why I didnât respond meanly. I was just mystified. | |||
Sidney was irreverent and someone you would not want to crossâŠbut he was also kind to fools whose hearts were in the science. Myself included. Just a gem of a mind and a mentor. | |||

|content=How crazy is theoretical physics? | |||
Sidney Coleman was one of my favorite people in rheoretical physics. His office door was always open to me. And he was one of the only people who ever seemed to be ânatively quantumâ. | |||
And he was hysterically funny. | |||
I added a quote to a thread. | |||

|content=I knew Sidney pretty well. I wasnât a physicist or in his department, but I almost certainly knew him better than any other mathematics PhD student at Harvard. | |||
Not enough to be a friend. But enough to call him a teacher and mentor. And a supporter. | |||
He was somewhat scary, but suffered anyone gladly who truly wanted to learn. | |||

|content=Dear Dr. Weinstein, thanks for sharing this anecdote! It's very interesting, a wonderful share indeed. I misunderstood the context of the quote that you replied with (given the amount of trolling that happens on a daily basis on here). Besides that, nothing personal! :) | |||
