User ID: 45545855 Canada 04/26/2014 10:21 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Richard Phillips Feynman May 11, 1918 – February 15, 1988) was an American theoretical physicist known for his work in the path integral formulation of quantum mechanics, the theory of quantum electrodynamics, and the physics of the superfluidity of supercooled liquid helium, as well as in particle physics (he proposed the parton model). For his contributions to the development of quantum electrodynamics, Feynman, jointly with Julian Schwinger and Sin-Itiro Tomonaga, received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1965. He developed a widely used pictorial representation scheme for the mathematical expressions governing the behavior of subatomic particles, which later became known as Feynman diagrams. During his lifetime, Feynman became one of the best-known scientists in the world. In a 1999 poll of 130 leading physicists worldwide by the British journal Physics World he was ranked as one of the ten greatest physicists of all time LINK>>>> [ link to en.wikipedia.org] |

I've loved him since I first saw the special about him on PBS when I was in high school. I don't ever look at an uncooked spaghetti noodle without thinking about how Feynman was really puzzled about how you can't ever break it in half |

I was fortunate to attend one of his last lectures - in the company of a group of professional physicists - before he passed away. While I was afraid he would be talking over my head since I had not completed my degree, I was pleased that he could explain almost everything simply, was a very entertaining speaker, and was not afraid to say what he really thought, so I didn't miss out. While I didn't agree with everything he said, I could tell he had definitely thought things through. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 35688242 I think the fact Feynman much like Einstein were so accepted by the public was they knew how to talk to the public when asked of them....And he was a realist....
