Richard Phillips Feynman (/ ˈ f aɪ n m ə n /; May 11, 1918 – February 15, 1988) was an American theoretical physicist.He is best 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, and in particle physics, for which he proposed the parton model.
"Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman!": Adventures of a Curious Character is an edited collection of reminiscences by the Nobel Prize –winning physicist Richard Feynman . The book, published in 1985, covers a variety of instances in Feynman's life.
The Meaning of It All: Thoughts of a Citizen Scientist is a non-fiction book by the Nobel Prize-winning physicist Richard Feynman. It is a collection of three previously unpublished public lectures given by Feynman in 1963. [1] The book was first published in hardcover in 1998, ten years after Feynman's death, by Addison–Wesley.
Jim Ottaviani is an American writer who is the author of several comic books about the history of science.His best-known work, Two-Fisted Science: Stories About Scientists, features biographical stories about Galileo Galilei, Isaac Newton, Niels Bohr, and several stories about physicist Richard Feynman.
Feynman's comments on the reliability of the shuttle, published as an appendix to the Rogers Commission's final report, are included. The second section of the book was dramatized in a television movie by BBC/Science Channel titled The Challenger Disaster. The book is much more loosely organized than the earlier Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman!
Working with Feynman, he explored the possibility of physics with particles, but not fields, and carried out theoretical studies of the muon with Jayme Tiomno, [44] resulting in a series of papers on the topic, [45] [46] including a 1949 paper in which Tiomno and Wheeler introduced the "Tiomno Triangle", which related different forms of ...
The paper served as the basis for Julian Schwinger and his quantum action principle, [125] and laid the foundations for Richard Feynman's development of a completely new approach to quantum mechanics, the path integral formulation. [113] [126] In a 1963 paper, [127] Dirac initiated the study of field theory on anti-de Sitter space (AdS). [128]
The Character of Physical Law is a series of seven lectures by physicist Richard Feynman concerning the nature of the laws of physics.Feynman delivered the lectures in 1964 at Cornell University, as part of the Messenger Lectures series.
