heh. I was sure it was a Feynmannism — I thought it was an observation that struck him after he invented Feynmann diagrams as a means to solve problems in QED. BICBW, and I’m too lazy to look it up

I’m sure the conjectured Feynmann electron was actually the idea of Murray Gell-Mann. The electron had to appear as an anti-electron, because a positron is just an electron travelling back through time. (No, really, I’m not making that up.) I don’t remember electrons ever dressing up as women. Maybe that’s because (or even why) I dropped out of physics.

Either Chris has confused this post with the one below it, I've utterly broken my comments system, or If We Conduct Dodgy Surveys Then The Terrorists Have Already Won.

Based on the procedure adopted by the right-wing blogosphere, the suggestion that receives the most comments in its favour will be regarded as true.

Yeah, I hear that terrorists are like the conjectured Feynmann electron. There’s only one of him, but he goes back and forwards through time, sometimes appearing as an anti-terrorist or dressing up as a woman.
