“The first principle is that you must not fool yourself — and you are the easiest person to fool.”

— RICHARD FEYNMAN

Theoretical physicist and Nobel laureate · 1918 – 1988

Richard Feynman was an American theoretical physicist who shared the 1965 Nobel Prize in Physics for his work on quantum electrodynamics. A member of the Manhattan Project as a young man, he later became famous for his bongo-playing, safecracking and irreverent memoir Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman! (1985). His Caltech lectures remain a classic of science teaching, and he famously exposed the O-ring failure behind the Challenger disaster.
