A pitch from Mscindylou is now ready for development:

 

Richard Feynman (American physicist, Nobel Prize in Physics 1965, assisted in the development of the atomic bomb) walks into Bar Karma. The date is August 6, 1945.

 

Feyman once said, "I can live with doubt, and uncertainty, and not knowing. I think it's much more interesting to live not knowing than to have answers which might be wrong. I have approximate answers, and possible beliefs, and different degrees of certainty about different things, but I’m not absolutely sure of anything, and in many things I don’t know anything about, such as whether it means anything to ask why we’re here, and what the question might mean. I might think about a little, but if I can’t figure it out, then I go to something else. But I don’t have to know an answer. I don’t feel frightened by not knowing things, by being lost in a mysterious universe without having any purpose, which is the way it really is, as far as I can tell, possibly. It doesn’t frighten me."

 

A question to consider from this pitch: how will Feynman react when he is exposed to the ramifications of his research?
