Feynman seems to have regretted his part in the development of the atomic bomb, because after Germany was defeated, perhaps the development should have been stopped rather than being dropped on Japan, but his regret came much later. At that time he celebrated the bomb's success in hitting its target, and that all the calculations were correct, while at that time many died or were dying in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. He believed that due to the ease of manufacturing such bombs, the fate of the human race was sealed, and he looked at bridge builders and said that they were doing it in vain, because the bomb would come anyway.
As of 2006, it reminds us of what is happening with us under the threat of the Iranian bomb, which even reached one of the advertisements on the radio (everyone scares me, the terrorists, the Iranian bomb, the overdraft....something like that).
Also the answer to the question What is the difference between Richard Feynman and William Shakespeare? Provided by Freeman Dyson, a respected physicist in his own right, but who admits that he is the antithesis of Feynman, he actually works in the orderly way, but he greatly appreciated Feynman's genius like the difference between Shakespeare's orderly contemporary, Ben Jonson, and the celebrated playwright who also served as an actor Prime in Johnson's play as Feynman starred in the first important scientific paper Feynman wrote.
Dyson writes this in the introduction to a book containing essays written by Feynman throughout his career as well as transcripts of lectures and interviews he gave to various media outlets. The name of the book is "The Joy of Discovering Devarim" which has now also been published in Hebrew, published by Notebooks for Literature, about seven years after the publication of the original, and about 18 years since the author's death, and as published by Kinneret Zamora Beitan (which Notebooks for Literature is actually a department of its own) allowed us to close the gap in the translation of his books of Stephen J. Gould and Sefrit Ma'ariv for generations care to do so with Carl Sagan, this is how notebooks for literature allow us To get to know more gems from Feynman's stormy life, which were published in three books, "You must be joking, Mr. Feynman!", "What do you care what others think?" and the meaning of all this, which were published in notebooks for literature
The book is very diverse, starting with another description of his experiences in Los Alamos - the site where the first atomic bomb was developed, and a time when Feynman's first wife also died of tuberculosis, where he discovered youthful mischief, breaking safes, the cities on censorship and more, through his views on the role of science in society ( And nothing has changed since Feynman lectured on it to an audience of scientists in Italy at a symposium on the occasion of the 400th anniversary of the birth of Galileo in 1964, on the contrary, the situation only got worse. Feynman writes his opinion on the explosiveness of astrology and other superstitions, as well as the desire of the authorities to criticize science and aim at the applied aspect) to articles in which Feynman explains in more or less vernacular (depending on the article) His scientific discoveries are in particle physics, and of course his famous lecture "There's a lot of room at the bottom" appears in it which laid the foundation for nanotechnology.
In short, a true and rare gem, yes there will be many. I am convinced that there are other interesting books by scientists who knew how to combine a light pen (or keyboard) with scientific knowledge in a wide field and who cared about the future of the scientific enterprise enough to lend a shoulder and convince teenagers to aspire to join it instead of practicing law or business administration. Every book like this, every addition to this important message (which the site also shares) will advance humanity.
