Richard Phillips Feynman
Richard
Phillips Feynman (May 11, 1918 – February 15, 1988; IPA:
/ˈfaɪnmən/) was an American physicist known for expanding the
theory of quantum electrodynamics, the physics of the superfluidity
of supercooled liquid helium, and particle theory. For his work on
quantum electrodynamics, Feynman was a joint recipient of the Nobel
Prize in Physics in 1965, together with Julian Schwinger and
Sin-Itiro Tomonaga; 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.
He assisted in the development of the atomic bomb and was a member of the panel that investigated the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster. In addition to his work in theoretical physics, Feynman has been credited with pioneering the field of quantum computing, and introducing the concept of nanotechnology (creation of devices at the molecular scale). He held the Richard Chace Tolman professorship in theoretical physics at Caltech.
Feynman was a keen popularizer of physics in both his books and lectures, notably a 1959 talk on top-down nanotechnology called There's Plenty of Room at the Bottom and The Feynman Lectures on Physics. Feynman is also known for his semi-autobiographical books Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman! and What Do You Care What Other People Think?, and through books about him, such as Tuva or Bust! He was also known as a prankster, a proud amateur painter, and a bongo player. Richard Feynman was regarded as an eccentric and a free spirit. He liked to pursue multiple seemingly independent paths, such as biology, art, percussion, Maya hieroglyphs, and lock picking. Freeman Dyson once wrote that Feynman was "half-genius, half-buffoon," but later revised this to "all-genius, all-buffoon."
