To: Jeffrey [email protected]] From: Al seckel Sent Sun 5/9/2010 2:00:42 PM Subject We will call at 11:00 our time Morning Jeff, Mike and I will call you at 11:00 our time. You should have a good conversation. Mike was Feynman's teaching assistant, and as I said, was pan of our inner circle of three that Feynman bounced ideas off. He has an exceptional mind in physics. Turned down positions at the Institute of Advanced Physics, and so on. He ran the string group at Rutgers for many years, which had the best department in the subject. He earned the deep respect of both Feynman and Gell-Mann, and Ferman grilled him for his Ph.D. (not easy!). He also worked closely with Gerry Sussman. He is also deeply knowledgeable in other areas in science and computing, but in spite of many people, like Simmons trying to get him into hedge funds, etc, he always stuck to hard core science. ht •// r t h I R.
