Richard Feynman A Biography of Americas Genius Scientist

On a quiet evening, a 6-year-old boy took a walk with his father who educated him on the importance of observation and learning to understand how things worked. The lesson formed the basis of the young boy's thinking for the rest of his life. Richard Feynman went on to become one of the foremost physicists of the 20th century.

Richard Feynman became a member of the Manhattan Project and was instrumental for his role in putting an end to the World War 2. In 1965, he won the Nobel Prize in Physics for his work in the field of quantum electrodynamics.

Mr. Feynman was a brilliant and complicated man. He knew that his then-girlfriend, Arline, would die shortly after her tuberculosis diagnosis, but he married her anyway so he could take care of her. He emphasized the importance of learning rather than merely acquiring knowledge. He said that he did not need the Nobel Prize to validate his achievements, that the real litmus test would be the impact that they would make.
