Richard Feynman - Why?

If you’re into infographics, then you probably know about Edward Tufte. He’s arguably the world’s foremost expert in the visual presentation of data, and leader of the campaign against “chartjunk,” the gimmicks and gadgets that frequently adorn and confuse the graphs, tables and charts we see online, in print and at work. When he’s not working on a new book or teaching his one-day course on presenting data and information, Tufte spends his time making sculptures. A collection of his sculptures is devoted to what Tufte himself calls “maybe the greatest data visualization ever done,” a way of graphically depicting sub-atomic particle behavior developed by physicist and Nobel laureate, Richard Feynman. Appropriately enough, an exhibit of that collection is on display at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab) until June 26th.

CHIRP’s Dan Epstein went to Fermilab recently to talk with Tufte, and with physicist John Campbell, about Feynman diagrams, and the “intense seeing” that art and science have in common.

Special thanks to Don Lincoln of Fermilab for providing additional background and a Feynman diagram calculation.

GOING PUBLIC 4.12.13 - "Dear D'Arline"
...letter from Richard Feynman to his wife


I came across this letter months back via Letters of Note and was immediately struck by its longing, its simplicity, and the lack of overwrought emotion, so often present in such letters (and why the hell wouldn't there be with such grief?). It's such a beautiful, truly moving letter and I've been wanting to record it for quite some time. 

Can't say why it struck me as the right time to record it this week. But here it is. Perhaps there is someone out there who needs it right about now and if so, I hope it finds you.
