Professor Richard Feynman, Nobel laureate and member of the Rogers
Commission that investigated the Challenger accident, passed away
Monday night from cancer.
Some time ago I read Feynman's autobiography ("Surely you're joking, Mr
Feynman!") and developed an instant liking for him. I had always hoped
to meet or hear him speak in person some day.
We need many more people like him. People who are unafraid to think for
themselves and to publicly proclaim the emperor to be without clothing
whenever it becomes necessary. The world is a better place because of
Richard Feynman.
