Epic letter from Richard Feynman.

Happy 14 March to everyone except the people who told me Klaus Fuchs wasn’t fascinating. Here he is in 1949, calmly reviewing a physics paper while the British state had no idea he was about to rewrite Cold War history. I didn't choose the Fuchs life. The Fuchs life chose me.

'It is in .. times of evil that men recognize their helplessness and their profound dependence..

In the Bhagavad-Gita it says, "Man is a creature whose substance is faith. What his faith is, he is.."

For this reason it is possible to maintain the hope..'

Austrian nuclear physicist Lise Meitner was honoured with the Fermi Award in 1966 for the discovery of fission. She should have won the Nobel Prize for her achievement.

Patrick Blackett could detect a charged particle’s entire life story but still wrote softer emails than any professor alive today.

Niels Bohr writing to Carlsberg Foundation: "I respectfully request a travel grant of 2500 Kr for a one-year study stay at foreign universities." That's it. That's the entire proposal. He received approval the next day...

Bought The House at Otowi Bridge for £4.
Inside? A 1962 letter from W.G. Penney — architect of Britain’s atomic bomb — thanking a colleague for lending him that exact book.
Not a metaphor. Just Cold War history doing what it does best: haunting the margins.
I’m writing a book about Klaus Fuchs. The ghosts are getting louder.

Tomorrow, 53 years after Bloody Sunday, the man known as Soldier F finally stands trial for murders of Willie McKinney and Jim Wray and the attempted murders of five more.
Remember, despite bluff and bluster, all 14 were executed as they marched for equality
