The thing that doesn't fit is the thing that's the most interesting: the part that doesn't go according to what you expected.
It doesn't matter how beautiful your theory is, it doesn't matter how smart you are. If it doesn't agree with experiment, it's wrong.
Richard Feynman
02. Biography
He had 3 marriages.*He proposed to his second wife via mail.*When Feynman found that this future third wife was being paid only $25 a month, he offered her $20 a week to be his live-in maid.
Feynman was born on May 11, 1918, in New York City, to Lucille, a homemaker, and Melville Arthur Feynman, a sales manager. He was an American theoretical physicist. The young Feynman was heavily influenced by his father, who encouraged him to ask questions to challenge orthodox thinking, and who was always ready to teach Feynman something new. From his mother, he gained the sense of humor that he had throughout his life.
03. Inventions
When he was in grade school, he created a home burglar alarm system while his parents were out for the day running errands.He created special symbols for logarithm, sine, cosine, and tangent functions so they did not look like three variables multiplied together, and for the derivative, to remove the temptation of canceling out the d's in d/dx.Feynman developed a widely used pictorial representation scheme for the mathematical expressions describing the behavior of subatomic particles, which later became known as Feynman diagrams.
He assisted in the development of the atomic bomb during World War II and became known to a wide public in the 1980s as a member of the Rogers Commission. Along with his work in theoretical physics, Feynman has been credited with pioneering the field of quantum computing and introducing the concept of nanotechnology.Feynman also became known through his autobiographical books 'Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman!' and 'What Do You Care What Other People Think?' and books written about him such as' Tuva or Bust!' and 'The biography Genius: The Life and Science of Richard Feynman'.
1979, in recognition of his essential contributions to the quantum theory of radiation and to his illumination of the behavior of constituents of the atom.
6. National Medal of Science
1972, for notable contributions to the teaching of physics.
5. Oersted Medal
04. AWARDS
1.Albert Einstein Award
1954, For His Work In Theoretical Physics
2. E. O. Lawrence Award
1962, important contributions to quantum field theory and particle physics, for inventions of feynman diagrams, and for broad scientific interestes and knowledge
3 Nobel Prize in Physics .
1965, as a succesful physicist
4. Foreign Member of the Royal Society
1965, Schwinger, Tomonaga and Feynman shared the prize for their fundamental work in quantum electrodynamics, with deep-ploughing consequences for the physics of elementary particles.
05. Interesting facts
- Feynman was a late talker and did not speak until after his third birthday.
- Aside from being a great teacher, Feynman was also an artist.
- He only obtained a score of 125 on a school IQ test.
- Feynman described himself as an "avowed atheist"
- He declined to join Mensa International, saying that his IQ was too low.
- In Brazil, Feynman was impressed with samba music and learned to play the frigideira.
Feynman was an eccentric within the scientific community. He frequented strip clubs, drank heavily for a spel. He never let the judgment of others get under his skin or unnerve him. He was content to follow his own course and do as he pleased.
06. Habits
Feynman had synesthesia, and said that mathematical symbols had different colors for him: "When I see equations, I see the letters in colors. I don't know why. I see vague pictures of Bessel functions with light-tan j's, slightly violet-bluish n's, and dark brown x's flying around."
His habit of direct characterization sometimes rattled more conventional thinkers; for example, one of his questions, when learning feline anatomy, was "Do you have a map of the cat?"(referring to an anatomical chart).
