Catalogue Note

A CONVERSATION ON THEORETICAL PHYSICS. Evidently, the conversation was of great interest to Feynman, as he jotted down three pages of detailed technical notes about it. John Preskill is the Richard P. Feynman Professor of Theoretical Physics at the California Institute of Technology, where he became a faculty member in 1983, just five years before Richard Feynman's death.
