  Richard P. Feynman biography
Richard P. Feynman, biography of a man who was always admired for his wit, intelligence, independence and a never-ending curiosity.
Quantum theory of the electromagnetic field (of electricity and magnetism, and of the ripples in the field that are light and X-rays & radio waves) was a puzzle for the scientists when Richard Feynman was in college.

  Richard Feynman - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Richard Phillips Feynman (May 11, 1918 – February 15, 1988) (surname pronounced FINE-man; /ˈfaɪnmən/ in IPA) was one of the most influential American physicists of the 20th century, expanding greatly the theory of quantum electrodynamics.
As well as being an inspiring lecturer and amateur musician, he helped in the development of the atomic bomb and was later a member of the panel which investigated the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster.
Richard Feynman was, in many respects, an eccentric and a free spirit.

 Mapping Myself Into the Universe - G. Carroll Strait
Richard Feynmann (1918--1988), who later won a Nobel Prize in physics, is often identified as the first to speak about the rich potential of microspace.
Feynmann, with his brilliance, could visualize the microspace revealed to us by our scientific instruments.
Surprisingly, if Feynmann were here now, he could still speak of "plenty of room at the bottom." Although the size of a transistor has shrunk some 2.5 million times since 1959, the electron remains more than 1 billion times smaller than today's best transistor.

 SIGGRAPH Computer Graphics Newsletter - Images and Reversals - May 98
Feynmann's [belief] was that the name of a bird did not matter.
Repeatedly, we see Feynmann making the point that simply naming a thing does not demonstrate that you really understand it in any meaningful way -- a fundamental idea that is in opposition to basic education and testing at all levels, often especially in the sciences.
Those who watched Feynmann in moments of intense concentration came away with a strong, even disturbing sense of the physicality of the process, as though his brain did not stop with the grey matter but extended through every muscle in his body.

Because Ricard Feynmann is the source of all that is 'pop' science.
Not a speck of dirt on his fingernails, Feynmann walks away with the Nobel Prizes and corporate sponsorships because of his fast talking hucksterism.
all Feynmann did is give birth to two generations of fools who 'want to be Feynmann' in science, engineering, and worst of all, computing.

 The Dream Machine
Feynmann, who died of cancer last year, was a Nobel laureate physicist known to most Americans as the member of the Challenger investigation commission who used a glass of ice water, a C clamp and a piece of rubber O-ring to cut through all the NASA double talk and dramatize what caused the shuttle explosion.
Feynmann then figured there was a battery hidden inside the engine, so he held on to the plug a little longer, hoping the engine would run down.
Feynmann figured, after the engine blew up, that Papp had loaded a cylinder with an explosive that would damage the engine and delay the formal test but that he miscalculated the charge.

 Definition of IQ
Yes and no. One of the most serious criticisms of using a single number to assess intelligence is that people may be stronger in certain areas such as verbal skills, logical aptitude or spatial visualization than in others.
Richard Feynmann and Albert Einstein would be examples of geniuses who were extremely strong mathematically while being relatively weak verbally.
More commonly, though, purely intellectual abilities tend to be uniformly high or uniformly low in a given individual, leading to the concept of an underlying "g" or "general intelligence" that powers all the specialized intellectual aptitudes.

 QED - Quantum Electrodynamics by Richard Feynmann, A Review by Bobby Matherne
Separated from the obscure mathematics by Feynmann the form of the electron/photon universe pops out of the quantum noise into a beautiful symmetrical simplicity.
Feynmann's three laws of QED are as simple and straightforward as Newton's three laws of motion (and ought to be equally enshrined by the name Feynmann's three laws):
There is one caveat, however, it would take another Richard Feynmann to know how to use it as a textbook.

One of the greatest physicists of the latter half of the last century was Richard Feynman.
He is remembered as the infectiously curious scholar that would pass up many an invitation to lecture at a high brow conference for the invite of a high school physics teacher, which he would usually immediately accept.
Richard died in 1988, but his work will live for all time, particularly the work he said was did the most for people, which was his lectures given as the Feynmann Lectures On Physics.

Feynmann (1918-88) was one of the youngest scientists involved in the Manhattan Project, where the first atomic bomb was developed; later he became an enormously successful physicist and physics professor, eventually winning the Nobel Prize.
At the end of his esteemed career, while battling cancer, he joined the investigation of the explosion that destroyed the space shuttle Challenger and made headlines again when he discovered that it was the tiny "o" rings, unable to withstand the cold temperatures on the day of the launch, that had caused the catastrophe.
Feynmann was an iconoclast and a free thinker, at the mercy of a constantly curious, questing mind.

Feynmann suggested that a PT-symmetrical particle was also an antiparticle.
The anti-matter of Feynmann has the same electric charge as the corresponding particle of matter.
As a consequence, Feynmann anti-matter does not identify Dirac anti-matter, for their mass and energies have opposite signs.

Richard Feynman has the additional gift of speaking passionately, and often in a self-deprecating manner, about what he does, with the result that the layperson can enjoy both his originally spoken, and written thoughts.

Feynmann." During the lecture, Feynmann asked the question "Why can we not write the entire 24 volumes of the Encyclopedia Brittanica on the head of a pin?" Before I tell you Chad Mirkins's answer to this question, let me first orient you to the nanoworld.
