Feynman’s Breakthrough, Disregard Others (2017)
This feels like the sort of advice that increases the <i>variance</i> of outcomes more than the <i>mean</i>, if that makes any sense. It&#x27;ll help some people, but also really won&#x27;t help others. It&#x27;s like... You&#x27;d need some serious disregard for the rest of the physics community to think you can figure out a reactionless drive. This is great if you actually can, but otherwise it&#x27;s going to lead you to failure.<p>In a lot of ways, getting advice from the outliers on the very edge of a field is like getting advice from lottery winners. That&#x27;s not to say you shouldn&#x27;t - but at the same time a lot of effort has to be made to separate the wheat from the chaff.
