  • he was so smart he must have talked all those young girls into bed with ease.

  • @jamesykt69 wrong

  • typo alert for the equations at 6:21... It should be alpha=k*e^2/hbar*c and not alpha=e^2/hbar*c (where k=1/4*pi*epsilon_0)

  • You all seem to have quite a grasp on the material...children.

  • @andres6868 there's a story in his book about how all the great minds go to a certain strip club.. the government wants to shut it down, and feynman is the only one with balls enough to defend it

  • I'd fuck everyone too if I were that smart

  • In Feynman's autobiography he states that he frequented brothels and ad affairs but when he had affairs he was single-not married.

  • Aren't quantum leaps teeny tiny quantities?

  • @StrikaAmaru hahahaha I thought tha same when heard this

  • Fucking morons bringing up shit like that about Feynman which might not even be true, for absolutely no reason. Of all the things to say about him, they put that in there at the beginning. Idiots.

  • No I've done my research. I read Feynman's autobiographies years ago. I know all about that. I can understand strip clubs. But orgies? And having affairs with your students? Come on. Even if it were true, why mention it?

  • @BluCosmos Why not ?

  • Of course he had affairs with his students. He's a very charismatic guy. He's like the John F Kennedy of Quantum Physics!

  • I wonder how many hairs it takes to go to New York...

  • ATOM documentary is AWESOME. i loved quantum physics because of it

  • Excellent documentary, but PLEASE post part 4 and ahead!

  • what was neede was a new theory, a theory that explains how electrons interact with eachothaaaaaaah

  • Heisenberg's uncertainty principal is just AWESOME!!! how it allows you to create virtual particles out of the NOTHINGNESS of space.

  • @muzammilali007 directly agaisnt the law off conservation of energy, in a delta planck time, just another rabbitt in pink.

  • @lcabosa but it allows miniature black holes to evaporate and also has an observable effect as proved by Casimir effect.

  • @muzammilali007 @muzammilali007 first , the origine of black holes is the assumption that light reactes to a gravitational field as matter , the eddington experiment the deflection of light passing by the sun, in assuming that we have black holes,nothing can escape them , now we have to get ride of them faste or by its logic the all universe will be sucked in, all off this assuming something else

  • @lcabosa well we can't observe black holes directly as the radiation emitted by them is of the scale of nano kelvin( Hawking radiation) but we still can observe their effect of gravity on near by stars (like the center of active galaxies including our own galaxy) and also by observing the matter being accreted by them giving off X-rays and jets of energy just before disappearing into the abyss of event horizon.

  • the cassimir effect is also interresting but the undertsanding that we have of mass , quantic relations, and surfercies is to incomplete . is not wrong trying to assume something the problem is geting us out off a dead end. ps: dark matter.

  • @lcabosa Super Symmetry provides us with good candidates for dark matter, I hope LHC will discover Higgs bosons as the standard model has proved to be very good so far. I heard Dr. Leonard Susskind saying that dark matter is normal matter that we haven't discovered yet (probably referring to the super partners of neutrinos). The real problem is dark energy and no physicist has a clue what it is except for the value of cosmological constant.

  • @muzammilali007 ok i see u like fisics me to, but im very suspicius off theorys so before i assume something i go back and study the biginning of conjectures to find out if the arguments are solid to my subjective critic and i can say to u that majority off the things u talk are real as rabbits from a magician hat.

  • Free energy is finaly here!But the Establishment doesn't want ppl to know this,Get a REAL working magnet motor at LT-MAGNET-MOTORdotCOM ,The revolution begins!

  • 5:26 This is the trouble with documentaries, you can't cite sources, this is straight from Feynman's lectures, even the metaphor, unfortunately they dropped the error, physicists can get awry about that.

  • Comment removed

  • So, I stair at genius and don't know what it is!

  • Comment removed

  • It is important to understand that relativistic speed, or powerful gravitational fields, do not effect the speed at which clocks run, it is time itself that slows down. This is not merely a theoretical construct, it is a real phenomenon. It has been confirmed by many different experiments including those involving atomic clocks. I also do not agree with the philosophical view that time is "neither an event or a thing" that Gottfried Leibniz defended. I subscribe to a realist view of time.

  • Comment removed

  • Einstein's theory of relativity showed that the fabric of space-time is warped and distorted by mass. It is not just motion that causes a time warp. Gravitation does it as well. Many people don’t realize that clocks tick a little faster in space than they do down here on the surface of the Earth. The reason is because Earth’s gravity slows time. So if you live at the top of a high-rise building, clocks go a little bit faster than their counterparts at ground level.

  • The "slower aging effect" not only follows from the equations of special relativity, but the effects of time dilation are confirmed experimentally by comparing the measurements of clocks for satellites with clocks on earth that are initially in complete synchronization with each-other. The satellite clocks and the terrestrial clocks agree upon their initial coincidence, but due to the effects of "time dilation", are not consistent with each-other in the aftermath.

  • You can find the full BBC "atom" on google video. It is IMO the most interesting BBC documentary ever done. Although I cannot for the life of me figure out who the scientific narrator is.

  • "Fuck your religion. Fuck your God."

  • @TeesByTruthSurge Despite the fact that Einstein won a Nobel Prize for his Quantum work, he didn't like quantum physics. For him time was a dimention, and yes his theory has been proven. The GPS system is corrected daily to compensate for Einstein time dilation. For the Quantum folk nothing is only nothing on average, and you can borrow. (Talks like he understands)

  • @gamesbok Yeah, I know that's what one vid said but if you can't draw a pure causal relationship, it's just nothing more than religion at that pt (to me).

    String theory, etc. It's fine to speculate and try to push boundaries. I'll just have to step aside and let the geniuses have at it.

  • "energy is borrowed out of nowhere". Um, that doesn't make any sense. How can energy get borrowed from nowhere? Light perhaps? If you have a vacuum light can still pass through right? interesting vid.

  • @TruthSurge The energy is borrowed from the future. Like special relativity, it's our understanding of time that needs to be rethought.

  • @TruthSurge It all comes from God and returns to God. The universe must have a cause and an effect. If the energy were finite it would not return from where it came. If energy is infinite than it will have two states, seen and unseen, humans call the unseen the unknown, nothing, or void.

  • @womo1975 "It all comes from God and returns to God."

    Really? Which god? Jupiter? Shiva? And why does it need to return?

  • damn april fool jokes

  • there were even rumours that he went to orgies. lol

  • Narrator thinks of Feynman 2nd only Einstein. I'd have to put John Wheeler ahead of Feynman. But, at that level it's nearly impossible (and senseless) to even be attempting to talk about rank these folks.

  • Wow. I knew that it was the office of Feynman, before he said it. I recognized it! How weird is that?

  • I am not that smart, but I have an understanding that I would like you to revice, and hopefully correct regarding to current understanding of QM. For me "reality" is now like "vibrating, tread-like majonees", where clumps in it, is the different particles of nature. The vibrating resort into making and breaking of new particles. Lights is a moving wave of this "condensation-resolving", which explain both its particles and wave-abilty.

  • An egghead AND a stud! Man the Guy did have such a passionate and lovingly honest way to express himself. Now THAT'S a role model.

  • Good video!

  • orgies? feynman u sick fuck ! :)

  • I hear a lot of babble about how scientists are irresponsible or whatever sometimes.

    But.. did he just say that they're shooting antimatter into my brain? Brain. Antimatter.

    That's something a wacky comic book villain would do!

  • their shooting anti matter throo your brain ...not into ...it goes throo ...

  • No wait i looked it up, what they're actually doing is injecting radioactive isotapes into my body, letting them build up in my brain tissue, and then measuring the gamma rays released by the beta decay.

    So no, that doesn't sound dangerous and crazy at all. :)

  • In 1989 NASA launched a satellite (Cuba) to detect cosmic radiation left over from the Big Bang and compiling information on the radiation and was able to moon in 8 minutes only to give a complete picture of the radiation and the universe proved to be updated and this is what atheists sign a major embarrassment says ASEddington: -- The idea that nature seems to me suddenly appeared embarrassed

  • Physicists said at the University of Edinburgh: We were trying to explore the so-called Standard Model theory to know the behavior of matter and energy....however, this model did not agree with the law of gravity. therefore, the task the computer has failed.

    So,Where the souls came from who can create the souls????

  • @Tofy710 Your brain is so very, very small.

  • Scientists can be brainwashed too, just like Nazi scientists were brainwashed.

  • Now, stop copy pasting this nonsense, you're just making yourself look even stupider.

  • I do not want to hurting anyone

    Only I bring a message, and I want to convey it to all the people

    I am ready to bear all kinds of speech

  • Hahahaha. You think gays should burn (Nazis burned them), you think people who don't think like you do should burn (Nazis), you think that only you can be right (Nazis), your imaginary god is a dictator with insane rules (Nazis)

    you don't have to bear speech, you can look at scientific evidence and it is proof that humans evolved and weren't created.

  • What do you expect my position if that humans had evolved?

    What would be your position if the opposite is true?

  • @Tofy710 learn to speak english please

  • Tofy stop talking about conversions as if they are great things. Unlike you muslims, the rest of the world doesn't kill apostates. Hope you don't have to regret following a bloody superstition....

    BTW i feel pity for your women.

  • Islam has some work to do in order to keep the civilized world from thinking there is some violent craziness in it. There's nothing that can be said. Just don't blow people up for a couple hundred years, and you'll be like the other crazy religions. Maybe spread that idea around to the other towel wearing superstitious. Just a place to go on Sunday to dress up. This is a video thread on a scientific genius. Someone interested in God's actual mind, not the one some shamans invented.

  • @Tofy710 people join cults every day for all kinds of reasons....

  • "feynman was rumoured to go to orgies" that was the part of this clip that stuck in my mind

  • @andres6868 yeah i was like "wait, what?" the whole time. way to introduce the coolest man who ever lived.

  • @andres6868 really? then i will not waste my time with this

  • @andres6868

    Its more like there are many that want this smart man babies.

  • Comment removed

  • Therefore: if you exist, evil you must also exist, or yogurt you, or Rabbit you. Makes perfect sense right?

  • Mindblowing stuff... Love all that was said.

  • then what made him go or walk the line like brian green with string theory? cuz deeeeep deeeep down he could feel there was some thing not knowing in full what is was well i would look to that to c in a bigger quick poll what others said about it. it can be found in all that one energy there faith+ a story for everyone DNA with reference asd spirals on fingertips.

  • Great video to help me understand this better.

  • Hahaha - "he freqented strip clubs, had affairs with his students and even had orgies" Are you kidding me?  Who is the idiot that wrote this in the script?

  • heh yah if they mention stuff like that they should mention how Einstein would forget his pants to work :P

  • @BluCosmos it's ludicrous BBC nonsense - it's a good job for the BBC that you can't defame the dead

  • @BluCosmos I was thinking the same thing. Complete idiocy.

  • @BluCosmos it means he was like us mortals.

  • @BluCosmos

    I guess he just loves addition, division and multiplication then!

  • @BluCosmos Someone that should be fired....oh wait, too late, he got a promotion and is screwing a teenager in Florida prob by now...

  • "and standing second to Einstein?" omg dude, I swear...that guy should be shot...on sight...Einstein himself would be pissed to hear this and Feynman embarassed...non is better then the other stupid humanoids....That's like saying Randy Rhoad is a better guitar player then Jimi Hendrix...Rhoad himself would punch you to say such a thing

    APPLES ARE WAY BETTER THEN ORANGES!!!! YEAH!!! I don't eat lime cause lemons are better!!! YEAH!!! I don't see objects, I see the light around it...YEAH!!!

  • @Slyrus76 What you simply fail to understand is that he was trying to point out that Einstein´s work was//is still more infleuntial than Feynman´s. By no means did he say anything of "better humanoid then the other" or anything like that.

  • @BluCosmos Hahaha - "he freqented strip clubs, had affairs with his students and even had orgies" Are you kidding me? Who is the idiot that wrote this in the script?

    Nope he is not kidding you, that is really true.Feynman pretty freely talked about those things in several books he wrotes.He had a time when he was interested in learning to draw,and the search for modells led him into a strip club.There he often worked on QED.So next time before you accuse someone of talking shit do some research

  • @BluCosmos don't know about affairs and orgies, but it is true about strip clubs and picking up girls in the club for one night. You can read this from Feynman's own words in his book "Surely you are joking Mr. Feynman". Still think it is a bit inappropriate to mention these facts of his life in the documentary.

  • @chizhr I know- I have read his autobiographies and his great lecture series. I did not see it as offensive but just ridiculously funny when he said that. :)

  • @BluCosmos I didn´t find it offensive either, but nobody can deny this.

  • @BluCosmos can't say about the strip clubs but he did use to go to topless bars and draw sketches of the models

    40:00 watch?v=Fzg1CU8t9nw&feature=re­lated

  • This would be good if the presenter didnt have a really annoying way of speaking to you like hes a childrens TV presenter. His constant intonation is horrible.

  • totally agree with you.

    he looks like a pussy.

    totally distracting you.

  • actually didn't they complete the unification theory recently.

    Its a combination of dynamic gravity theory or super gravity theory, and m-theory.

    which when the idea of 11 dimensions from super gravity theory where used in m-theory the math fits, and even gravity makes sence, tho no experiment have been devised which proves it .... so far.

  • meh, they still haven't proven how aliens travel faster than light, so the theory is incomplete

  • depends on a lot of factors, but the problem is just that it expends to much energy to "push" something to the speed of light.

    besides, if people could travel faster than the speed of light, how would you keep them under control.

  • You can't travel faster then light. But it is possible to be anywhere the universe you want to be at any instant if you know how to bend space time and then punch a hole through it.

  • A reprint of "Quantum Mechanics and Path Integrals" by Feynman and Hibbs is long overdue. You can't find a used original edition anywhere without a price tag of a few hundred dollars. It's still one of the best starters for the novice in path integrals though. McGraw and Hill are you listening!

  • now we need a quantum gravity theory

  • Yeah, no one's been trying to come up with a grand unification theory for quantum gravity since the 1940s... -_-

  • you can look at my face and crazy sayings maybe you look harder on the equations, i want to c some new you want that too, i go to earth you go to andromeda I would say, i make a journey, you make a journey and yet you still buy a cop of coffee with a donut at mornings... unshapeable... pull out the vacummcleaner and catch all the dust. then there is a clean room for ya to spot thoose who hides under the dark clouds of dust. love to be poetish not a meassureman like men in pyramids.

  • wat

  • lol.

  • I QED on ya...

  • Funny! Without knowing much about physics, I believed always - even as a small child - that the "empty" space is empty. And it is just intuition.

    Meanwhile I am 44 and have a Physics MS degree behind me and came to my origins, we human are built of Matter & Spirit.

  • if your iq is that of the average person please avoid watching this and anoying the rest of us with your shallow quips

  • this would be a good read. a complete article on the formulation of the mathematics used in quantum mechanics.

    go on google and type:

    "Mathematical formulation of quantum mechanics"

  • Let me put it this way! :p

    Schrodinger & heisenberg's representations are simple, easily taught to the layman, and were historically found first. They enable you to solve problems in simple quantum systems, as well as one or two complicated ones.

    Feynman's approach involves maths too complicated for undergraduates. But it enables you to solve more complicated problems with his path integral approach that the other two would be insufficient for.

  • On the other hand, the problem of an electron in a hydrogen atom cannot be dealt with in an easy way by using the path integral formalism. Schroedinger's approach is far easier in that case. Feynman actually stopped teaching the parth integral method because it offered so many difficulties. It depends on the problem which method is used best.

  • Comment removed

  • @newtzZz

    Well they're still teaching Schrodinger and Heisenberg in the last year of graduate mathematics courses in the UK so it can't be quite as easy for the ''layman'' as you imply. I know plenty of laymen who couldn't solve a pair of linear simultaneous equations.

  • Comment removed

  • "string theory bullshit etc" is the kind of comments that were made by idiots about quantum mechanics when it was first percieved.

    But yes, string theory will never become anything - the maths involved is just too complicated, even for the greatest mathematicians on the planet - let alone standard physicists.

  • Comment removed

  • you misunderstood me! !!!IF!!! quantum mechanics had not been unified with electrodynamics, then quantum mechanics would have been ditched as a theory - and a new one sought after. Eg, string theory.

    A bit like classical theory was ditched once experiments were found that contradict it.

    The physics community was engrossed in this from like the 1930-50s until 3 men accomplished it. One was Feynman.

  • wave mechanics - Schrödinger equation

  • give me a break, im bored.

    qed???

    quantum mechanics explains almost everything. i dont need someone to rename stuff and present it as something. especially when the only thing that someone knows how to do is make fancy names.

  • huh. Quantum mechanics was a flawed theory until Feynman, Schwinger & co unified it with electrodynamics.... a problem which people such as heisenberg, bohr, etc failed to solve.

    By flawed I mean... quantum mechanics would have been ditched, and a new theory 'invented' to try and explain experiments, such as string theory! (which btw, many people in the area say we need a modern day richard feynman to simplify the maths enough to work with.... as he did in QED)

  • at the end of the day as long as you understand the quantum mechanics of the particles such as the momentum, poisition, energy etc. and the wave mechanics considering wave particle duality, u will be fine.

    since everything else in the universe is produced by these quantum mechanics taking place, this is the stuff that matters. everything else is just fancy extra stuff.

  • I get the feeling you've never actually done research in quantum physics? I haven't encountered 'wave mechanics' since introductory quantum mechanics courses. Heisenberg's representation is very useful. Nearly everything is done using Feynman's path integrals & similar such methods.

    How is feynman's representation of quantum mechanics any less important than schrodinger's? Except of course, the latter is easily taught to idiots, whereas you need a high grasp of maths to understand feynman's

  • I mean, you say that feynman didn't make contributions because now computers can solve what his feynman diagrams made possible. So.... what about more than 10yrs ago before super computers???? And people had to do these calculations by hand...

    I guess feynman went from "making a huge contribution to quantum mechanics, without which the subject would have simply died" to not, overnight, as soon as super computers came off the production line

    And QED is just one of very many contributions by him

  • lol no, but i heard feynman visited a lot of stripclubs and brothels, maybe you want to follow in his footsteps ;)

    i dont know maybe you dug up feynman's grave, saw his dick and fell in love with him. you probably spent countless nights digging up his body and giving his dead corpse skeleton blowjobs.

    bohr, heisenberg contributed and made quantum mechanics what it is today. feynman did nothing.

  • Go read some history before making such stupid statements.

    Actually, I don't give a crap. You can go head and be a moron all your life.

  • great now ur comparing lagrange and hamilton with a nut like feynman.

    what next?

  • so, you're either posting idiotically to be cool-on-the-internet, or you have some deep down loathing of feynman's lifestyle, clouding your judgement on him. Did daddy frequent stripclubs?

  • rubbish those computers will be able to use any system. the wave equation and heisenbergs matrices lay the foundations and basics of quantum mechanics they are not meant to help you solve problems. either way the computational speeds will not vary at all.

    i said it before and i will say it again - feynman brought nothing new to the table for quantum mechanics.

  • Wrong. I don't think you understand what Feynman actually did. I assume you think he simply just "rewrote" or "built on" already existing physics/equations or something. Similarly, you probably think Lagrange and Hamilton made no contributions to classical physics, because Newton's equations already existed.

  • That said, I suppose feynman did kinda build on stuff Paul Dirac did... ish.

  • quantum mechanics was already at an advanced stage. it basically explained the mechanical interactions at the atomic and subatomic level (momentum, energy etc.), which causes all the effects that we see in our life.

    feynamn brought nothing new to the table. computer technology has progressed to a level where complicated problems are made easy.

    a true genius would be someone like tesla not an idiot like feynman who spent his life in brothels and drinking wine.

  • Those computers you speak of that make problems easy ... will use Feynman's techniques to do so.

    I'm a theoretical physicist (not a particularly good one though) - Feynman diagrams are used all the time. His path integral techinques are as well ... good luck trying to solve some problems using the wave equation or heisenburg's matrices!!!!!!

    If you want to say that Feynman is over-glorified, then yes maybe he is. But he did make huge contributions to physics... thats not even debatatable.

  • quantum mechanics was already developed to an advanced stage.

    what did feynman contribute? nothing in my opinion.

  • Well, he offered an alternative representation for quantum mechanics - the path integral (others being schrodinger's wave equation & heisenburg's matrix). Depending on the problem you're analysing, one is better than the others to use. Also, Feynman's did "explain" the previously "mysterious" classical principle of least action - which was nice.

    All that aside, Feynman diagrams are absolutely necessary in quantum mechanics... they make very complicated problems easy enough for an idiot to do.

  • damn! Then I'm less than an idiot :( ^^

    Writing down the integral via graph is easy yes, but solving them isn't that trivia,l I guess ;)

  • :D

    well, aye... an idiot can ~90% solve a complicated problem, whereas without feynman diagrams & rules, he'd be hopeless. So would I :( Then again, as much as I love Feynman, his rules simplify it all so much that I really dislike them!

  • So you're more the Schwinger kind of guy, huh?

  • well, i do love rigorous maths... but hmm, my particle physics courses at uni were terrible. They basically made you memorise feynman's rules -> get solutions, without having any understanding of whats going on really. I would have preferred to do it all "the shwinger way" once or twice, then use feynman's methods from then on :(

  • feynman smoking weed....he forget to mention that.

  • smoking weed makes you a genius

  • if only it is true for all of us. =[

  • I honestly doubt that, but a genious smoking weed is still a genious :-)

  • The funny thing happens, when you collect one of the two particles, just in the moment between creation and annihilation. :D

    You would have matter out of nowhere. (I dunno, but I guess it would cost you energy to keep it that way, which would mean that everything still balances out.)

  • this is uplifting learning. worthwhile.

  • "frequenting strip clubs" haha that's comforting to know that feynman partied too. That's REALLY cool actually. Someone that smart and intelligent, liked strip clubs on occasion haha. I can relate to both of those, but am most interested in physics.

  • man, you have got to read his books, What do you Care what other people think? and Surely you're joking Mr. Feynman They are awesome! and you get a better appreciation of him.

    _Genius_ is a biography on feynman that covers the science very very well, it's a main part of what made me change my major to physics

  • well, this guy is exaggerating a bit...

    "It's as close to a theory of everything than we have ever come!".

    this is a ridiculouse thing to say, since the unification with QED and weak interaction happened like in the sixties.

    And btw. I noticed that the Dirac Equation at 2:00 crossing the screen is missing a Psi on the left hand side. It's of course a homogeneus equation.

  • Fensterplaetzchen, what is the best "theory of everything" at today then?

  • In the Standard Model of physics, there are 4 fundamental forces:

    Electromagnetic Force, Weak Force, Strong Force and Gravity.

    Gravity is described in the General Theory of Relativity (Einstein 1915) and the other 3 are so called gauge theories.

  • This video is about the Electromagnetic Force. A so called U(1) gauge theory. The weak interaction is a SU(2) gauge theory and these two became the theory of electroweak interaction, as I said. The third one, a SU(3) gauge theory works more or less okay with the other two, but there is no real unification.

    And ART absolutely doesn't match with the gauge theories, which are quantuum theories.

    There are some approaches to creatre a single theory (for example quantum loop gravity or string theory)

  • Baahahaha! "a quantum leap further...??" I really wish journalists would learn how big a quantum leap actually is... But then again, I do love hearing them say it ;)

  • Feynman could probably bend spoons with his mind power.

  • Thanks for the upload. That was great!

  • Check your brain somwhere.

  • It depends what you call accurate. The shortest distance between London and New York can quite easily be measured to the nearest 10m or so (assuming you have a well defined sense of where London and New York start and end of course). Considering the huge distance between them that is very accurate.

  • wasnt feynman talking about measuring it to the accuracy of a human hair? Thats what I was talking about. Because the tectonic plates of the world move constantly, you can't measure the distance say today and say that that's the right answer a month from now. But yeah whatever

  • That's exactly the point though. You CAN'T measure the distance from New York to London with that accuracy, but you can measure values in quantum mechanics to that value.

    They're saying that his theory is ridiculously accurate.

  • Comment removed

  • If we have a definite size and location of both cities, we can easily measure the distance between the two with a much higher precision than the tiniest of hairs!

    The tectonic plate movement only comes into play when we try use a result of the distance 20 years ago. We add the amount of tectonic movement respective to the measure of the distance between the cities to the result.

    Distance (1980) = X meters

    Distance (2009) = X meters + Average tectonic movement each year * (2009 - 1980)

    Oui?

  • Comment removed

  • the plates move by less than 1cm per year? :|

  • Teleportation News From CNET Today: Maryland U's Joint Quantum Institute was able to teleport information between two separate atoms across a distance of a meter. The JQI team set out to entangle the quantum states of two individual ytterbium ions so information embodied in one could be teleported to the other. Each ion was isolated in a separate high-vacuum trap, suspended in an invisible cage of electromagnetic fields and surrounded by metal electrodes.

  • Glad that others are recognizing Feynman's genius. Feynman was honest, quirky, and brillant. I stumbled on him while studying the feasibility of teleportation and time travel. His work answered many questions and explains why he is considered second only to Einstein in the world of quantum physics.

  • I never said I was an expert and don't pretend to be. I am a novice at understanding physics, but have read enough on Fenyman to appreciate his contributions. If you have a different opinion, so be it. Of course there are others who have accomplished a great deal in the field of quantum physics. However, based on my readings, folks with greater understanding than me, view Feynman's achievements as preeminent. I am open to other views because I just trying to improve my knowledge on the subject
