PERFECTLY REASONABLE DEVIATION

這才是真正的費曼！傑克與克莉絲：「聽到你得諾貝爾獎，我們又激動又高興。對一個鄉下孩子來說，表現真是不錯。到了斯德哥爾摩，可別去天體營和裸體女郎鬼混。」理查．費曼：「非常感謝你們的賀電。但你們為啥要限制我在瑞典的探險呢？我在這裡請求你們允許，可以不理會你們在電報裡的告誡。」費曼的抽屜裡，長年擺著一封從未寄出的信。信紙泛黃破舊，因為費曼經常拿出來展讀。那是費曼在妻子阿琳過世一年後（1946年），寫給亡妻的信。費曼在信末寫道：「原諒我沒有寄出這封信。我不知道妳的新地址啊。」2004年，這封信和其他費曼親筆寫的信，都來到費曼的女兒米雪手中。米雪說：「看著看著，我著迷了。寫這些信的人展現出思路清晰、體貼、謙虛、風趣而又迷人的魅力來。」米雪於是選出415封信和家藏的照片編輯成這本書：「關於我父親的書很多，不過那些書都取材於口述的資料。但現在你看到的這本書，都是他親筆寫的信，這些信自己會說話。這些信綜合起來，展現出一種前所未見的費曼的特質。」名人推薦他擁有當代最具原創力的心智。――戴森（Freeman Dyson），《宇宙波瀾》、《全方位的無限》作者一個最真誠的人，當代傑出的直覺論者，也是任何敢於敲出不一樣的鼓聲的人心目中，首屈一指的典範。――施溫格（Julian Schwinger），與費曼同獲一九六五年的諾貝爾物理獎對費曼來說，知識可不是說說而已，知識是用來行動、用來實踐的……他所協助創立的科學是前所未見的。――葛雷易克（James Gleick），《混沌》作者在這兒，我們見到的是一位擅長引人注目、並且十分務實的思想家……世上幾乎再也找不到像理查‧費曼這樣的人。――戴維思（Paul Davis），《最後三分鐘》作者我們愈是細讀費曼，就會愈加喜愛他那充滿熱情、又令人耳目一新的世界觀。――谷史（Alan Guth），暴脹宇宙模型的提出
