#586754 — Surely you're joking Mr. Feynman?

Los Angeles Times,

daily newspaper, dated 7/18/56, to the effect that the 
appointee's wife was granted a divorce 

His ex-wife reportedly testified that on several occasions when 
she unwittingly disturbed either his calculus or his drums he 
flew into a violent rage, during which time he chocked her, threw 
pieces of bric-a-brac about and smashed the furniture. This article 
reflects that the court approved a $7500 cash settlement in 
favor of the appointee's ex-wife, giving her an automobile, 
furniture and objects of art, as well as $300 per month for two 
years and $250 a month for a third year.

And how does that affect the question of whether relativity is correct 
or not? Likewise, how do Einstein's defects of character affect the 
question of whether relativity is correct or not?

To take a less familiar example, the chemist Hermann Leuchs was a 
horrible person (a nazi who committed suicide on the day that he 
learned that Hitler had died), but that didn't mean that his work on 
Leuchs anhydride was worthless. It didn't inhibit Michael Sela, the 
distinguished Israeli biochemist (and until a couple of weeks ago the 
oldest living well known biochemist), from basing his early work on 
that of Leuchs.

He cracked the government safes containing the design of the atomic bomb.
Why did he do it? Why would it be allowed without a consequence?

I didn't know he cracked the government safes containing the design of
the atomic bomb.

Based on today's posting you've not been very successful in this task.

Please check the facts before posting nonsense to usenet.

He explained it in "Surely you're joking, Mr Feynman". It wasn't to 
help the Russians; it was to convince the people around him that weak 
security was no better than no security at all. Many of the safes were 
"protected" by manufacturer-installed codes like 12345. Today some 
people "lock" their telephones with 0000.

You really should find out how divorce law worked,
in the fifties, in the USA, 
(Hint: by agreed upon lie)

In England, and doubtless elsewhere, there were young women who were 
professional co-respondents, paid to be "found" by a private detective 
in bed in a hotel with a wayward husband. They were not usually 
prostitutes, and they weren't expected to do anything bed except to lie 
there when the detective burst in.

A bit crude. In other countries a 'big lie' will do.
(but not in the USA at the time afaik)
Mental cruelty otoh was a suitable ground for divorce.

So they married, hardly knowing each other, and it didn't work out,
and after a time they both wanted a divorce.
It is impossible from this time and distance
to get an idea of how much reality there is to all the stories,
and how much was made up for the purpose of getting a divorce,
