Thorne, the Feynman Professor of Theoretical Physics, Emeritus, at California Institute of Technology and the holder of a 2017 Nobel Prize in Physics, said in an email what he believes makes the ...

Feynman diagrams look to be pictures of processes that happen in space and time, and in a sense they are, but they should not be interpreted too literally. What they show are not rigid geometric ...

Feynman didn’t live to see the next shuttle launch. He died in February 1988 at age 69 of cancer possibly caused by radiation exposure more than four decades earlier at Los Alamos, N.M.

Richard Feynman was born on May 11, 1918, to Melville and Lucille Feynman of Far Rockaway, N.Y. Melville was a sales manager for a uniform manufacturer, and he had more than a passing interest in ...

Feynman, though primarily known for his physics work, offered profound perspectives on the future of AI in 1985. His insights continue to resonate today, especially as the field of artificial ...

In his new book, Quantum Man, physicist and writer Lawrence M. Krauss describes the scientific contributions, and unique mind, of Nobel Prize-winner Richard Feynman, whom he calls "perhaps the ...

On Dec. 29, 1959, Richard P. Feynman gave an after-dinner talk at an annual American Physical Society meeting in Pasadena, Calif. Feynman was not the public figure he would later become—he had ...

Feynman’s reaction was characteristically blunt. “I think that’s kind of dishonest,” he said. Tell me whether you agree with Feynman. More to Read .

Van Go Delivering Feynman’s vision to the people. In the late 1980s, when Michelle Feynman would drive up in a big brown-and-tan van covered with odd-looking symbols, the other students at her ...

Feynman also hadn’t bothered to actually budget $1,000 for the prize because he assumed any successful entry was years if not decades away. His wife was not happy. Report comment.

Richard P. Feynman, "The Great Explainer," 1965 Nobel Prize winner, player of bongos, seducer of women, launcher of thousands of dreamy-eyed physics majors.
