Richard Feynman was an American Scientist who is considered to be one of the greatest and most influential theoretical physicists in history.
Feynman revolutionized the field of quantum mechanics and formulated te theory of quantum electrodynamics.
Feynman is responsible for the introduction of fundamental computational techniques and notations into physics. The Feynman diagrams have dramatically changed the way in which basic physical processes are conceptualized and calculated. He also studied the physics of super cooled liquids. In order to increase the understanding of physics among the general public,
Feynman wrote two important books- ‘The Character of Physical Law’ and “Q.E.D: The Strange Theory of Light and Matter’. He was awarded the 1965 Nobel Prize in Physics for successfully resolving problems related to the theory of quantum electrodynamics.
