【2017.11.01】Review of "Landau's Attitude Towards Physics and Physicists"

  为了确认一些资料,今天我又回B站看了一下BBC拍摄的《了不起的费曼先生》的纪录片。中途我发现了如下两条弹幕:

  不得不说我被这两条弹幕吓得不轻。因为我很清楚地记得之前读过一些文章,提到说费曼和朗道虽然十分欣赏彼此,但一生都没有真正见过面。怎么突然费曼就不仅和朗道见了面,还拖着朗道和自己共享go go girls去了?

  虽然我觉得如果真的有这种机会,朗道肯定会欣然接受(我认真的),但说话要讲证据,把脑补当真就麻烦了,最好去找精神科医生看一下。不过反过来,万一“朗道费曼这辈子没见过面”是我脑补出来的呢?万一我才是那个需要去找精神科医生的人呢?

  出于谨慎考虑,我没有直接在弹幕里反驳如上说法,而是特意去搜了一下这两个人。我在Google敲进"Has Feynman ever taken Landau to a strip club",搜出来一堆无关资讯;换"Has Landau ever been to the US/California",依旧无果。哦,之所以用California,是因为我以为费曼常去的脱衣舞吧就在加州。它也应该是在加州没错,毕竟费曼在加州工作。

  最后,我试着用了最简单的办法,直接在Google搜索"Feynman Landau",除了一堆有关Landau List的网页外,我发现了另一篇文章,就是如标题所述的:朗道之于物理和物理学家的见解(Landau's Attitude Towards Physics and Physicists)。

  我打开这篇文章,直接搜索关键字Feynman,然后发现了如下叙述:

 "...For example, Landau considered himself inferior 'in class' to a number of other physicists and his contemporaries. This was particularly true of his attitude toward Feynman, who was 10 years younger than Landau. In 1962 I met Feynman at a conference in Poland. Feynman was concerned about Landau's health and inquired after him. (The Two had never met.) I mentioned how highly Landau thought of Feynman's results, and that he ranked them higher than his own. Feynman was somewhat embarrassed by this and resolutely declared that Landau was wrong in so judging him."

  这一段文字所描写的内容是大家耳熟能详的故事:朗道欣赏费曼的研究成果,对此给出了非常高的评价,甚至高于他对自己的学术成果的评价。费曼听闻以后很不好意思,称朗道错爱。

  重点在于这段文字中间那个括号里的内容:The Two had never met.

小学生英语,大家都看得懂,不多说了。

  我自己在进行史同创作的时候有多不尊重事实,我自己也很清楚。我不觉得历史同人需要多么尊重史实,重在主旨与人物塑造。好的作品是会让人遗忘拉郎配和OOC这回事的。

  但我也不会把好的作品的虚构内容当真不是!?

  坦白说这是个有点忌讳的事情,本来RPF就是同人中的擦边球,更不要说这些科学家不少都还有亲属尚在人世,举头三尺他们的目光慈爱笼罩着我们呢,还是谨言慎行些好。
