@Kurtlane So true I have a big problem with plenty of anthropology! But the problem is I think it is much easier to check conclusions in physics then it is in anthropology. I think the timeline as to when intelligent humans who were able to create Society's goes back much further then we believe now. But carbon dating is so limited and also It would only take a few thousand years to erase almost all evidence that anything existed.

@Kurtlane Your right, but it's much easier to check equations than social/historical hypotheses.

@heoTheo I know what you mean :-)

he looked like forest gump in that older pic w/ the nobel haha!

If I had Feynman as my high school physics teacher I would have stayed away from humanities just like him

Feynman just seems like the epitome of a good scientist. He didn't do research because he wanted something. He didn't want to prove anyone wrong or prove himself right. He doesn't seem like he did anything for a selfish reason.
He just did it because he loved it.

"The prize is the pleasure of finding things out, the kicking of discovery, the observation of other people using it."
Damn right. ESPECIALLY the last one. The greatest pleasure of my research was after I had finished it, and presented it to people who got excited about it, said they wanted to use it.

@Kurtlane I wish people would check their conclusions in every aspect of their lives. They'd be a lot better off if they did.
This man was awesome!

Physicists check the conclusions enough.
I wish anthropologists would check conclusions enough. A lot of nonsense got into anthropology, and still stays there because they haven't been double-checked.
