@gaugefixed Aah, I love his work. Have met him a couple of times when I was visiting jadavpur for a conference. he's simply amazing :) thanks for sharing!

I truly wonder what it was like to work with Coleman back then, the students who attended his lectures on QFT at Harvard must have been incredibly lucky. Some of these lectures are available here with very clear audio and that too for free:

仕入れた面白い話2: コールマンの院生向け場の量子論の授業は、内容が最新で、（概念の言い換え等が）素晴らしく、当時は難解だった場の量子論の原論文の内容が、彼が授業でその内容を取り入れるたびに、全人類が一気に理解したらしい。シニアな人は、彼の授業ノートを必死に集めた時代があったそう。

@curiouswavefn No wonder his books are witty and engaging :D

@pascalkwanten The book lorentzian wormholes is simply amazing

[Akshat @star_stufff]

@gaugefixed Wow, really? Who is it? I know a few folks at IACS

@amritwt me right now because i horribly messed up some calculation

[Akshat @star_stufff]

@DhiruCodes Same, and I'm all here for it! Very inspiring

[Akshat @star_stufff]

@reboplim You did very well :)

[Akshat @star_stufff]

Superb thread!

Freeman Dyson famously stated that the most important insight from quantum field theory is that “all electrons are exactly the same.”

[Martin Bauer @martinmbauer]

Much of the puzzling nature of quantum mechanics can be understood through one simple but profound fact: particles of the same kind are truly identical

@shhrreeyyy They want to feel validated in some way. Real ones really don't care about their institutions/company.

[Sam Altman @sama]

one of the quotes i find most inspiring on a hard day:

"Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might, for in the realm of the dead, where you are going, there is neither working nor planning nor knowledge nor wisdom"

Ecclesiastes 9:10

[Ash Jogalekar @curiouswavefn]

Best case in point is Einstein. He was never afraid to make a fool of himself, and assuming things like the speed of light being the same took an incredible amount of courage.

[Akshat @star_stufff]

@curiouswavefn It is very rewarding to be fearless, especially in science

@yuzu_4ever Damn

@Heisei_Geisha This, courage the cowardly dog was one of my fav shows

[Akshat @star_stufff]

@nagahanii yeah there's that

[Akshat @star_stufff]

prime example of “you can just do things” and sheer discipline.
