Not sure who said “shut up and calculate” first but it was definitely not Bohr. I don’t think it was Dirac either since it’s not his style. It definitely could have been Feynman from the tone but I’m not sure. I suspect it was meant in a derogative sense by whomever said it. It is certainly used that way today, at least in my view.

Who said: “Shut up and Calculate.” And does the expression have a sarcastic or a ‘positive’ meaning?
