Richard Feynman (1918–1988) - Richard Feynman

Richard Feynman (1918–1988): Richard Feynman was an American theoretical physicist known for his significant contributions to quantum mechanics and particle physics. Born in the early 20th century, Feynman is celebrated for his path integral formulation of quantum mechanics, a method to calculate quantum behavior by considering every possible path a particle can take. This approach provided new insights into the behavior of particles at the quantum level and was influential in the development of quantum field theory. Feynman is known for his Feynman diagrams, a graphic representation tool used extensively in particle physics to pictorially encode the mathematical expressions describing the behavior of subatomic particles. Awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1965 for his contributions to the development of quantum electrodynamics, Feynman’s work continues to be model for theoretical physics.
