Richard Phillips Feynman (May 11, 1918 – February 15, 1988) was an American theoretical physicist. He is known for the work he did in the path integral formulation of quantum mechanics, the theory of quantum electrodynamics, the physics of the superfluidity of supercooled liquid helium, and 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. 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. During his lifetime, Feynman became one of the best-known scientists in the world.

View Plans"Another most interesting change in the ideas and philosophy of science
brought about by quantum mechanics is this: it is not possible to predict exactly
what will happen in any circumstance. For example, it is possible to arrange an
atom which is ready to emit light, and we can measure when it has emitted light
by picking up a photon particle, which we shall describe shortly. We cannot,
however, predict when it is going to emit the light or, with several atoms, which
one is going to. You may say that this is because there are some internal "wheels"
which we have not looked at closely enough. No, there are no internal wheels;
nature, as we understand it today, behaves in such a way that it is fundamentally
impossible to make a precise prediction of exactly what will happen in a given
experiment."

"جایزه نوبل به من هیچ ربطی نداره. اعصابم رو به هم می ریزه. از مدال خوشم نمیاد. به خاطر کاری که انجام دادم، به خاطر مردمی که کارم را می فهمن افتخار می کنم و می دونم هم که تعداد زیادی فیزیک دان وجود داره که از کار من استفاده می کنن. همین برای من کافیه. واقعا فایده ی اینکه یک نفری تو آکادمی سوئد بگیره بشینه تصمیم بگیره که کار یه نفر دیگه به اندازه کافی ارزشمنده که جایزه بگیره رو نمی فهمم. من قبلا جایزه ام را گرفته ام. جایزه همون لذت پیدا کردن چیز میزه، حالی که کشف یه چیزی به آدم می ده، مشاهده ای که بقیه مردم بتونن ازش استفاده کنن. این چیزا واقعیه، مدال برای من مصنوعی و غیر واقعیه. من به مدال و جایزه اعتقادی ندارم، اذیتم می کنه، مدال اذیتم می کنه، مدال و جایزه سرشونه اس، یونیفورمه، بابام منو اینجوری بار آورده نمی تونم تحمل کنم، این چیزا ناراحتم می کنه." - ریچارد فاینمن، فیزیکدان برنده ی جایزه نوبل"
Many races as well as cultural influences of men of all kinds have mixed into any man. To select, for approbation the peculiar elements that come from some supposedly Jewish heredity is to open the door to all kinds of nonsense on racial theory.
