  别闹了,费曼先生-简介
  
  
  费曼得过诺贝尔奖,是现代最伟大的理论物理学家之一。但他同时也可能是历史上唯一被按摩院请去画裸体画、偷偷打开放着原子弹机密文件的保险箱,在巴西桑巴乐团担任鼓手的科学家。他曾跟爱因斯坦和波尔等大师讨论物理问题,也曾在赌城跟职业赌徒研究输赢机率。


  "Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman!": Adventures of a Curious Character is an edited collection of reminiscences by the Nobel Prize-winning physicist Richard Feynman. The book, released in 1985, covers a variety of instances in Feynman's life. Some are lighthearted in tone, such as his fascination with safe-cracking, fondness for topless bars, and ventures into art and samba music. Others cover more serious material, including his work on the Manhattan Project (during which his first wife Arline Greenbaum died of tuberculosis) and his critique of the science education system in Brazil.
  
  The anecdotes were edited from taped conversations that Feynman had with his close friend and drumming partner Ralph Leighton. Its surprise success led to a sequel entitled What Do You Care What Other People Think?, also taken from Leighton's taped conversations. Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman! sold more than 500,000 copies.[citation needed]
  
  The title derives from a woman's response at Princeton University when, after she asked the newly-arrived Feynman if he wanted cream or lemon in his tea, he requested both (not knowing that they would curdle).
