|content=I have plans to use the Portal to show you so many such things, but I get bored of endless negging and interpersonal drama queens (e.g. being told that Feynman could explain it to his poodle so I obviously don’t get it).

I’d love to get back to it & get rid of your drama queens.

For example: Feynman’s story about “The Alibi Room” is also about great math-physics minds of the 1940s-60s dipping into Aerospace companies (Curtiss-Wright in Buffalo). Same with Solomon Lefshetz. Likely Wheeler, Deser, DeWitt.

|content=That famous “G-mu-nu” story where Feynman can’t remember which North Carolina University is hosting the Gravity conference? Is about Bahnson and an *anti-gravity* initiative. Again, you just didn’t notice because of the way we tell the story. Higgs? UNC Physical Fields institute.

|content=The entire “Golden Age of General Relativity” is misportrayed. Feynman and Uri Geller? Pauling and Feynman at Esselen? The LSD stories? The story about nuclear powered airplane patents? It’s some super freaky pseudo-scientific seeming story about many of our greatest scientists.

So those who think there is a problem are outsiders. Like Feynman? Glashow? Etc? Nah.

That’s not really what happened. Look at Hep-th or https://t.co/3By75PQ5o4

|content=I have no understanding of why we make the career paths of our most singular & powerful US scientists a living hell. We would today drive Feynman, Watson, and Einstein out of science.
