Richard P. Feynman

출생: May 11, 1918 – Far Rockaway, New York, United States

Richard P. Feynman was an American theoretical physicist and science writer whose work centered on quantum electrodynamics, particle physics, and scientific explanation. He shared the 1965 Nobel Prize in Physics, authored Surely You’re Joking, Mr. Feynman! and co-created The Feynman Lectures on Physics, which remain widely used in science education.

전기 및 작가의 여정

Richard P. Feynman was born on May 11, 1918, in Queens, New York, and grew up in Far Rockaway in a household that encouraged curiosity, humor, and independent thought. From an early age he showed unusual skill in mathematics and problem-solving, building a reputation as a student who preferred understanding to rote learning. He studied physics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, earning his undergraduate degree in 1939, and then completed a Ph.D. at Princeton in 1942 under John Archibald Wheeler. Those years established the habits that defined him for life: stripping problems to essentials, distrusting empty formalism, and testing ideas against physical reality.
