"Sex and science don't mix. At least, that's what young Richard Feynman's dad keeps telling him. But this is just one of the many theories that the Nobel Prize-winning physicist--who once kept a topless bar from being closed down by claiming that he scribbled equations at one of the back tables--ends up disproving...and just one of the many topics of debate at "Feynman University," centered around the Rockland County dinner table where the family discusses (with equal zeal) anti-Semitism and two-piece bathing suits, puberty, and the morality of the Manhattan Project."
