Le 11 mai sera l'occasion de fêter la naissance de Richard Feynman ,je pense que tout le monde ou presque ici sait qui était Feynman.
Peut être moins connue était sa personnalité hors normes et son humanité, bien que des livres comme 'Vous voulez rire Mr Feynman ?' soient devenus cultes.
Les éditions Perseus viennent de sortir quelques unes des lettres que Richard Feynman a échangées tout au long de sa vie sur différents sujets avec des personnes variées.
C'est sa fille Michelle qui a rassemblé et choisi ces lettres.

Perfectly Reasonable Deviations from the Beaten Track is a new collection of personal letters written by legendary physicist and raconteur Richard P. Feynman. Edited by his daughter Michelle, and including many letters written to Feynman, it shows the full extent of his legacy like never before. With missives to and from scientific luminaries, as well as letters to and from fans, family, students, crackpots, and everyday people eager for Feynman's wisdom and counsel, the result is a wonderful de facto guide to life, an eloquent testimony to the human quest for knowledge at all levels. Whether discussing the Manhattan Project or developments in quantum physics, the Challenger investigation or grade-school textbooks, the love of his wife or the best way to approach a problem, Feynman's dedication to clarity, grace, humor, and optimism is everywhere
