    For all his brilliance as a physicist, Richard Feynman didn't cut it as a philosopher: beauty is no guide to truth in science http://ow.ly/S74T50uMZCm pic.twitter.com/epfp8AUEIn

        Beauty is more important than physics.

        "Richard Feynman was wrong" = Hi-brow Trolling! Complex things emerge from simple things. Which can both be beautiful, guided or otherwise.

        Love this and um...:( to read this conclusion/ hypothesis. “The moral of the story is that physicists should leave philosophy of science to the pros, and stick to what they know best.” I wonder if @skdh is on that train? I hope the placebo effect is null and void here! Nice read!

        This is nonsense. Beauty is subjective and is valuable differently across time and space. I find my fiber backed poops to be beautiful. How those that make my poops true?

        An over-simplification.

        I'm certain that what Feynman viewed as simple, Massimo would find perplexing complex. Feynman just wasn't interested in why things happen, but how. Feynman did think that philosophy is obsolete when it comes to asking how rather than why.

        Beauty, if not a guide to truth in Science, it is certainly an irrefutable VARIABLE that she can't ignore when inferring truth.
