3:45 A.M. – Telephone rings
“Hello, Dr. Richard Feynman? May I congratulate you on the Nobel Prize.”
- “Look, this is a heck of an hour–”
“But aren’t you pleased to hear that you’ve won the Prize?”
- “I could have found out later this morning.”
“Well, how do you feel now that you know that you’ve won it?”
- “Look, some other time…”
And so Richard P. Feynman, Ph.D., FRS, and Richard Chase Tolman Professor of Theoretical Physics at Caltech, first sleepily learned that he was an awardee of the 1965 Nobel Prize in Physics.
