"As a sophomore at Princeton I took a class called Honors Physics from a man named Johnny Wheeler. He wore a suit and tie to class, loved explosions, and created vivid art in real time with colored chalk. Implausibly old, he had worked on nuclear fission with Niels Bohr. He was 61.
The lectures were long on inspiration and short on information about how to do the homework. I was in awe of Wheeler. Some students thought he sucked. One day I arrived late to find Wheeler conducting a poll. We were voting on the future of science: is there “more to come” or “less to come”? I don’t remember the count, but “more to come” won handily. Wheeler was pleased." - http://quantumfrontiers.com/2012...

"There are two kinds of particle physicists: those who wanted the Higgs boson to be discovered, and those who wanted the Higgs boson not to be discovered.
At a conference last fall, I sat at the same dinner table with Frank Wilczek. Inevitably, the conversation came around to the prospects for discovering the Higgs boson in 2012. “It would be much more exciting if the Higgs isn’t found,” I insisted. Frank did not claim to disagree, but was adamant: “I want closure.”" - http://quantumfrontiers.com/2012...

Gençken yaptığı ünlü buluşun (kozmik manyetik monopoller) hikayesi: "A one-trick pony can achieve great scientific success, by attaining world-class mastery of a single trick. But a two-trick pony, even one with limited technical prowess, can sometimes make influential scientific contributions just by noticing fruitful connections between different topics or ideas. I’ve been a two-trick pony throughout most of my career." - http://quantumfrontiers.com/2012...

Kitaev'le tanışmalarının hikayesi: "Responding to this tip, I found a paper by this Kitaev fellow on the arXiv … and was amazed. Later, Alexei told me the story behind this paper. When Peter Shor discovered the efficient algorithm for factoring numbers on a quantum computer in 1994, Alexei heard rumors about the discovery but was unable to attain a copy of Shor’s paper. So he independently invented his own algorithm, which was in some ways similar to Shor’s, but solved a more general problem!" - http://quantumfrontiers.com/2012...

("Loved explosions" dediği Wheeler, ABD'nin ilk hidrojen bombasının yapımında çalışmış biri. Kara deliklerin adını koyan da o. Feynman'ın danışmanı.)
