Richard Feynman Numbers Part 2 of 2

Richard Phillips Feynman was an American physicist known for the path integral formulation of quantum mechanics, the theory of quantum electrodynamics and the physics of the super fluidity of super cooled liquid helium, as well as work in particle physics (he proposed the Parton model). For his contributions to the development of quantum electrodynamics, Feynman was a joint recipient of the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1965, together with Julian Schwinger and Sin-Itiro Tomonaga. Feynman developed a widely used pictorial representation scheme for the mathematical expressions governing the behavior of subatomic particles, which later became known as Feynman diagrams. During his lifetime and after his death, Feynman became one of the most publicly known scientists in the world.

Brilliant, inspiring.

How cool it would have been to have had this guy as a science teacher in school.

[Trisscarro]

@alpha431 it's even cooler that i have him as a private teacher on youtube.

@bytedildo No. This is one hypothesis to account for the data collected in a, at the moment, controversial study. There are many others, most of which include simple errors in measurement. In addition, we don't see superluminal neutrinos (assuming that's what you meant by neutrons) in other places, e.g. astronomical events that emit both neutrinos, which contradicts the findings of the study, and lends support to the experimental error hypotheses.

@bytedildo NeutrINOs. Different animal.

How cool that he said that nothing is faster than light, but that is wrong :) Neutrons are faster than light, because they travel in hops through higher dimensions where light travels faster :)

@KutuluMike

I am nothing if not pedantic.

:)

(Definitely not a physicist though (obviously))

[KutuluMike]

@weavehole As far as gravity is concerned, those two statements mean the same thing. If he or she were being pedantic, a physicist would say that the Earth and the neutron mass are each simultaneously exerting an attractive force on the other, proportional to their mass, pulling the centers of the masses towards each other. If your mass of neutron degenerate matter was less than the mass of the Earth, it would feel a strong force down than the Earth would feel "up", and vice versa.

[Frutoses]

@weavehole True but he's just trying to expose how concentrated it is.

[mixxmexx]

@slimnotskinnytexan and what a loss when he was no more
