In an interview filmed just a few weeks before his death, Richard Feynman described his search for Tannu Tuva. Tannu Tuva was a small country in Asia, now part of the Soviet Union, known in the West primarily for its triangular postage stamps. Feynman wanted to visit Tannu Tuva, but didn't want to take advantage of his reputation as a Nobel Prize–winning physicist. He wanted to do it, as he put it, “in the right way.” His efforts to arrange a visit spanned several years. In the process he learned to write Tuvan and became familiar with Tuvan singing. Feynman's invitation to Tannu Tuva arrived two weeks after his death.
Science is like Feynman's quest. The most important thing is to do it “in the right way.”
