Feynman works with his graduate advisor, John Wheeler, on a problem concerning forces on electrons. They make some impressive progress with this very difficult problem, and Dr. Wheeler encourages Feynman to give a talk on the subject (since he believes it would do him some good to gain some speaking/presenting experience).
Dr. Eugene Wigner takes an interest in the work Wheeler and Feynman are doing, and invites several very famous physicists to attend it: Norris Russell, Johnny von Neumann, Wolfgang Pauli, and Albert Einstein. Feynman is very nervous. He is only a.....
