Richard Feynman was an American theoretical physicist known for his work in quantum mechanics, particle physics, and quantum electrodynamics. He was awarded the 1965 Nobel Prize in Physics along with his collaborators, Julian Schwinger and Shin'ichirō Tomonaga.

Feynman was born in New York City in 1918 and died in Los Angeles in 1988. He was a brilliant and creative physicist who made significant contributions to our understanding of the universe. He was also a gifted teacher and communicator, and his work has inspired generations of physicists.

Here are some of Feynman's most notable accomplishments:

* Developed the path integral formulation of quantum mechanics, which is now a standard tool in theoretical physics.
* Invented the Feynman diagrams, which are used to visualize and calculate interactions between particles.
* Helped to develop the theory of quantum electrodynamics, which is one of the most successful theories in physics.
* Served on the Manhattan Project, which developed the atomic bomb.
* Was a member of the President's Science Advisory Committee during the Cold War.
* Wrote several popular books about physics, including "Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman!" and "The Feynman Lectures on Physics."

Feynman was a brilliant and influential physicist who made significant contributions to our understanding of the universe. He was also a gifted teacher and communicator, and his work has inspired generations of physicists.

Philosophy of science is about as useful to scientists as ornithology is to birds.

Richard Feynman

If you thought that science was certain - well, that is just an error on your part.

Richard Feynman

I would rather have questions that can't be answered than answers that can't be questioned.

Richard Feynman

Physics isn't the most important thing. Love is.

Richard Feynman

You can know the name of a bird in all the languages of the world, but when you're finished, you'll know absolutely nothing whatever about the bird... So let's look at the bird and see what it's doing -- that's what counts.

Richard Feynman

Religion is a culture of faith; science is a culture of doubt.

Richard Feynman

For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for nature cannot be fooled.

Richard Feynman

We are trying to prove ourselves wrong as quickly as possible, because only in that way can we find progress.

Richard Feynman

I learned very early the difference between knowing the name of something and knowing something.

Richard Feynman

The first principle is that you must not fool yourself and you are the easiest person to fool.

Richard Feynman

All the time you're saying to yourself, 'I could do that, but I won't,' — which is just another way of saying that you can't.
