What Do You Care What Other People Think?
of Richard P. Feynman
Series: Feynman #2
Description
One of the greatest physicists of the twentieth century, Richard Feynman possessed an unquenchable thirst for adventure and an unparalleled ability to tell the stories of his life. "What Do You Care What Other People Think?" is Feynmanâs last literary legacy, prepared with his friend and fellow drummer, Ralph Leighton. Among its many talesâsome funny, others intensely movingâwe meet Feynmanâs first wife, Arlene, who taught him of loveâs irreducible mystery as she lay dying in a hospital bed while he worked nearby on the atomic bomb at Los Alamos. We are also given a fascinating narrative of the investigation of the space shuttle Challengerâs explosion in 1986, and we relive the moment when Feynman revealed the disasterâs cause by an elegant experiment: dropping a ring of rubber into a glass of cold water and pulling it out, misshapen.
