Re: Feynman's Genius and the Quantum Physics of Ca
by Janet on Sunday August 01, @12:24PM

I stumbled across this blog, and I am not a librarian, but you have some ideas about quantum physics in this and the spaghetti essay that imply quantum physics is particularly useful for library work. Roger Penrose would, I think, argue for the application of quantum processes to information states in the human mind, but are there library skills that could be brought over to the physics world? In one of my classes, we use the technique of focusing on a particular problem and solving it with whatever mental tools we bring from our experience. How would a librarian function this role? You sat that Feynman would have been a great librarian, would Dewey or whoever have been a great physicist.
