  • Simulating Physics with Computers
    International Journal of Theoretical Physics, VoL 21, Nos. 6/7, 1982 Simulating Physics with Computers Richard P. Feynman Department of Physics, California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, California 91107 Received May 7, 1981 1. INTRODUCTION On the program it says this is a keynote speech--and I don't know what a keynote speech is. I do not intend in any way to suggest what should be in this meeting as a keynote of the subjects or anything like that. I have my own things to say and to talk about and there's no implication that anybody needs to talk about the same thing or anything like it. So what I want to talk about is what Mike Dertouzos suggested that nobody would talk about. I want to talk about the problem of simulating physics with computers and I mean that in a specific way which I am going to explain. The reason for doing this is something that I learned about from Ed Fredkin, and my entire interest in the subject has been inspired by him. It has to do with learning something about the possibilities of computers, and also something about possibilities in physics. If we suppose that we know all the physical laws perfectly, of course we don't have to pay any attention to computers. It's interesting anyway to entertain oneself with the idea that we've got something to learn about physical laws; and if I take a relaxed view here (after all I'm here and not at home) I'll admit that we don't understand everything.

    Baruch S. Blumberg 1925–2011 A Biographical Memoir by W. Thomas London ©2014 National Academy of Sciences. Any opinions expressed in this memoir are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of the National Academy of Sciences. BARUCH SAMUEL BLUMBERG July 28, 1925–April 5, 2011 Elected to the NAS, 1975 Baruch S. Blumberg was a research scientist who received the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine for his discovery of the Australia antigen, one of the most important advances in the field of Hepatology. Known to everyone as Barry, he was an unlikely person to have made the discoveries that had such a huge impact on public health, liver disease, infectious disease and virology. Barry was not a virologist, a hepatologist, an infectious disease specialist, or an epidemiologist. He had minimal clin- ical training in medicine and no formal training in those other disciplines. He was, in fact, more of a 19th century natural scientist than a 20th century laboratory or clin- ical scientist. Finding the cause of viral hepatitis was not what he had in mind when he began his research career. By W. Thomas London Yet Barry’s discovery, made with teams in Philadelphia and Bethesda, led to the virtual elimination of transfusion-related hepatitis B in most parts of the world, and was essential to the identification of hepatitis A, C, D, and E viruses. When he identified the Australia antigen as the outer coat of the previously unidentified hepatitis B virus, it was the prelude to the invention of the first vaccine to prevent infection with the virus, the demonstration of its association with acute and chronic hepatitis B, cirrhosis, and liver cancer, and ultimately the prevention of liver cancer.

As DL arranged before the interview, the initial portion of the private interview was led by LK, with the final portion led by DL. The later public interview the same day was conducted by DL.] LK: This is Lauren Klaffke. It’s April 27, 2017. I’m here today with Dr. Doug Lanska to interview Dr. Stanley Prusiner in Boston at the annual meeting for the American Academy of Neurology. So, to get started, I wonder if you could tell me a little bit about your early life and education, growing up in Iowa and Ohio. SP: There’s not much to tell. It was a very uneventful time, at least from my point of view. I probably lived like most middle class people in a reasonable house. I had two wonderful parents.1 My brother2 and I recently reflected on our parents and what they gave us and did for us. That was a fantastic childhood when I look back on it.
