Richard Phillips Feynman ( / ˈ f aɪ n m ə n/; 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, the physics of the superfluidity of supercooled liquid helium, as well as his work in particle physics for which he proposed the parton model. For his contributions to the development of quantum electrodynamics, Feynman received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1965 jointly with Julian Schwinger and Shin'ichirō Tomonaga.Gribbin, John; Gribbin, Mary (1997).

Feynman attempted an explanation, called the parton model, of the strong interactions governing nucleon scattering. The parton model emerged as a complement to the quark model developed by Gell-Mann. The relationship between the two models was murky; Gell-Mann referred to Feynman's partons derisively as "put-ons". In the mid-1960s, physicists believed that quarks were just a bookkeeping device for symmetry numbers, not real particles; the statistics of the omega-minus particle, if it were interpreted as three identical strange quarks bound together, seemed impossible if quarks were real. [142] [143]In Brazil, Feynman was impressed with samba music, and learned to play the frigideira, [120] a metal percussion instrument based on a frying pan. [121] He was an enthusiastic amateur player of bongo and conga drums and often played them in the pit orchestra in musicals. [122] [123] He spent time in Rio with his friend Bohm, but Bohm could not convince Feynman to investigate Bohm's ideas on physics. [124] The first principle is that you must not fool yourself—and you are the easiest person to fool. So you have to be very careful about that. After you've not fooled yourself, it's easy not to fool other scientists... List of Previous Putnam Winners" (PDF). Mathematical Association of America . Retrieved June 10, 2023. Haynie, D.T. (2007).

Along the way to becoming a famous physicist. Feynman puts his inquisitive nature to work in many other areas, and learns a lot about the world outside of his department. He learns about biology, Mayan hieroglyphics, and the ins and outs of Japanese culture. He learns to speak Portuguese, play the drums, profit from gambling, and achieves some recognition as an artist. How We Built The Bomb, a docudrama about The Manhattan Project at Los Alamos. Feynman is played by actor/playwright Michael Raver. 2015 Feynman served as doctoral advisor to 30 students.
