This Short Story was first published in Scientific American (February 1962 issue), by Isaac Asimov. A Science Fiction Feghoot where Senior Physicist Gerard Cremona's mother comes to visit him at work, despite the fact that he's actually very busy right now.Mrs Cremona was invited by her son to visit him at work on Thursday, but the entire building is in an uproar due to coming in contact with a missing Jovian expedition. Somehow they've ended up surviving four times as long as their mission profile planned for, and have arrived on Pluto.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Senior Physicist Cremona is deep in discussion with a general when his mother arrives, explaining the situation to him. Because Pluto is so far away, it will take six hours for a radio signal due to the lightspeed lag. His mother interrupts with a bit of simple wisdom that solves his problem and rests easy knowing that her little boy, despite being an important figure in the government and going grey due to age, is still willing to listen to his mother."My Son, the Physicist" was republished several times; The Magazine Of Fantasy And Science Fiction (April 1963 issue), Signale Vom Pluto (1963), SF Horizons 1 (1968), Nightfall and Other Stories (1969), Urania (issue #570, 1971), The Best Science Fiction Of Isaac Asimov (1986), The Asimov Chronicles: Fifty Years of Isaac Asimov (1989), and The Complete Stories, Volume 1 (1990).Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

Always a Child to Parent | |
| My Son, the Physicist / int_77d12b4 | comment |
Always a Child to Parent: Senior Physicist Gerard Cremona works in a government building, is known by everyone in the building, is introduced on-screen while talking with a general about a top secret project, and has greying hair. Despite this, his mother, the viewpoint character, still sees only her little boy. You can hear her pride in him from the title alone. | |

20 Minutes into the Future | |
| My Son, the Physicist / int_f32d85ab | comment |
20 Minutes into the Future: This story mentions Multivac, video-phones, stratowire, hair dye, and expeditions to Jupiter, but doesn't really establish how far into the future it was supposed to be. Considering that contemporary Science Fiction stories had solar system colonization happening in under a hundred years, this was supposed to be a near-future fiction. | |

Capital Letters Are Magic: When the mother describes how women are Gossipy Hens, she emphasizes the importance of "continuous communication" as her son calls it by capitalizing the words; Just Keep Talking. | |
