Key to Quefithe fable
[by Predrag Cvitanović, January 2013]
In
1983 there was no need to provide a key: my friends, such as Joseph Serene,
knew immediately who is who. Most of us had met or seen the protagonists.
But this is 2013, so here it is:
mole: Julian Schwinger
crow: Richard Feynman
Quefithe: Quantum Field Theory
wise owl:
Niels Bohr
(standing for the old guard: Heisenberg, Schrödinger, Born, Bethe, etc)
frogs: mathematicians, French and otherwise
fox:
Freeman Dyson
snails: Predrag Cvitanović,
other Earthlings
Sure takes fun out of it...
