核心要点
The Genius Who Made Physics Human
Richard Feynman stands as the patron saint of modern physics-a figure who combined extraordinary intellect with an uncommon humanity. Unlike Einstein with his otherworldly persona, Feynman made brilliance accessible. He played bongo drums, cracked safes, and explained complex quantum physics with disarming clarity. Bill Gates named Feynman's lectures as his most influential book, while physicist Freeman Dyson described him as "half genius and half buffoon." His story reads like scientific mythology: the boy from Far Rockaway who helped build the atomic bomb, revolutionized quantum physics with his famous diagrams, and transformed our understanding of reality itself. What made Feynman extraordinary wasn't just his Nobel Prize-winning work, but how he approached problems with childlike curiosity and stubborn originality-refusing to be intimidated by authority or conventional wisdom.
