Melville was born into a Jewish family in Minsk, Belarus, and emigrated with his parents to the United States when he was five years old. He was a business man who tried, not too successfully, many different types of business. It is clear that his talents were not in business but rather in science which was the subject that fascinated him but he never had the opportunity to make a career from it. Lucille Phillips was born in the United States into a Jewish family. Lucille's father had emigrated from Poland and her mother also came from a family of Polish immigrants. She trained as a primary school teacher but married Melville in 1917 before taking up a profession. After their marriage Lucille and Melville Feynman moved into a Manhattan apartment and, in the following year, their first child Richard was born. Melville wanted his first child to be a son and he also wanted him to become a scientist so, overjoyed when he got the son he wanted, he did all he could to interest Richard in science throughout his childhood.

24. Feynman's Talk a transcript of the classic talk given by richard feynman at the annual meeting of the American Physical Society at Caltech. http://www.zyvex.com/nanotech/feynman.html

There's Plenty of Room at the Bottom An Invitation to Enter a New Field of Physics by Richard P. Feynman This transcript of the classic talk that Richard Feynman gave on December 29th 1959 at the annual meeting of the American Physical Society at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) was first published in the February 1960 issue of Caltech's Engineering and Science http://www.zyvex.com/nanotech/feynman.html with their kind permission. Information on the Feynman Prizes Links to pages on Feynman For an account of the talk and how people reacted to it, see chapter 4 of Nano! by Ed Regis, Little/Brown 1995. An excellent technical introduction to nanotechnology is Nanosystems: molecular machinery, manufacturing, and computation by K. Eric Drexler, Wiley 1992. I imagine experimental physicists must often look with envy at men like Kamerlingh Onnes, who discovered a field like low temperature, which seems to be bottomless and in which one can go down and down. Such a man is then a leader and has some temporary monopoly in a scientific adventure. Percy Bridgman, in designing a way to obtain higher pressures, opened up another new field and was able to move into it and to lead us all along. The development of ever higher vacuum was a continuing development of the same kind. I would like to describe a field, in which little has been done, but in which an enormous amount can be done in principle. This field is not quite the same as the others in that it will not tell us much of fundamental physics (in the sense of, ``What are the strange particles?'') but it is more like solid-state physics in the sense that it might tell us much of great interest about the strange phenomena that occur in complex situations. Furthermore, a point that is most important is that it would have an enormous number of technical applications.

Richard P. FEYNMAN Dernière modification le New: lien vers des videos de cours (merci a Guillaume) D'abord quelques mots... Ce site est entièrement dédié à Richard Phillips FEYNMAN, physicien théoricien de renom, Prix Nobel de physique en 1965 et avant tout, homme exceptionnel dans bien des domaines. On cite trop souvent ce fameux Prix Suédois en omettant d'écrire combien la compréhension des lois de la Nature passionnait FEYNMAN et combien il s'est attaché à en dévoiler les parties les plus cachées, comme un jeu sans fin avec l'Univers, et ce jusqu'à sa mort. Je n'écrirai pas ici une biographie de FEYNMAN, si courte soit-elle (je vous laisse le soin, si vous le désirez, de consulter les ouvrages cités plus loin) mais simplement vous le faire découvrir (si ce n'est déjà fait) à travers les faits les plus marquants de sa carrière et peut-être vous donner envie d'en savoir plus. Je constate depuis quelques temps que la notoriété de FEYNMAN a dépassé le cadre des physiciens les plus pointus pour gagner peu a peu des classes différentes de la société. J'y vois sans aucun doute la démonstration que l'esprit ouvert de FEYNMAN, son caractère sympathique et sa passion contagieuse pour Dame Nature ont su conquérir nombre de personnes (à commencer par moi), de façon bien plus efficace que ne l'auraient fait tous les prix du Monde. Qui est FEYNMAN et qu'a-t-il fait ?

29. Richard Feynman And The Textbook Selection Process An interesting tale of Dr feynman on a high school text book selection committee. http://www.redshift.com/~jmichael/html/feynman.html

Richard Feynman and The Textbook Selection Process. Richard Feynman was one of the pre-eminent physicists of the twentieth century. He shared the Nobel Prize in Physics for his theoretical work on quantum electrodynamics, a field of physics that describes how sub-atomic particles interact. He was a professor at Caltech , and famous for his ability to get to the core of an issue. If you followed the Challenger disaster investigation, you might remember seeing him dump a rubber gasket in a glass of ice water to demonstrate why the gaskets allowed the rocket exhaust to burn a hole in the rocket. He was a thorough and direct man who preferred looking at the original data rather than read someone's idea as to what the data meant. He was asked to participate on a California textbook selection committee that was charged with evaluating textbooks for use in California public schools. He agreed, thinking it was a worthwhile use of his time. When the book depository called and asked where to send the 300 pounds of books, they told him not to worry, they could send over someone to help him read the books. Feynman said he wasn't quite sure how that would work and declined the offer of an assistant. During the weeks that he was reading texts, he kept getting calls from the publishers. They wanted to take him out to dinner, lunch, wherever he wanted. They wanted to talk over the advantages of their textbook. He kept fending them off, saying he was confident he would be able to read the texts. Moreover, he knew that the teachers wouldn't be receiving this kind of attention so he felt the books should be judged on their own merits.

35. Richard Feynman On Teaching Some thought by feynman on the subject on teaching (an online excerpt from t The dignified professor from Sure You are Joking Mr feynman . http://www.pitt.edu/~druzdzel/feynman.html

Richard Feynman on Teaching "The Dignified Professor" excerpts from "'Surely You're Joking Mr. Feynman!' Adventures of a Curious Character" by Richard Feynman, Bantam Books: New York, 1986 I don't believe I can really do without teaching. The reason is, I have to have something so that when I don't have any ideas and I'm not getting anywhere I can say to myself, "At least I'm living; at least I'm doing something; I am making some contribution" it's just psychological. When I was at Princeton in the 1940s I could see what happened to those great minds at the Institute for Advanced Study, who had been specially selected for their tremendous brains and were now given this opportunity to sit in this lovely house by the woods there, with no classes to teach, with no obligations whatsoever. These poor bastards could now sit and think clearly all by themselves, OK? So they don't get any ideas for a while: They have every opportunity to do something, and they are not getting any ideas. I believe that in a situation like this a kind of guilt or depression worms inside of you, and you begin to worry about not getting any ideas. And nothing happens. Still no ideas come. Nothing happens because there's not enough real activity and challenge: You're not in contact with the experimental guys. You don't have to think how to answer questions from the students. Nothing!

Branch of Science Physicists Nationality American ... Motta Feynman, Richard Philips (1918-1988) Portions of this entry contributed by Leonardo Motta American physicist who was born in New York City on May 11, 1918. He grew up in Far Rockaway, Queens and when he was about 10, he started to buy old radios to use in his "personal laboratory," a collection of electric gadgets and components, and by the age of 12, he was already fixing radios in his neighborhood. Feynman related a number of entertaining and revealing vignettes from his childhood and throughout his professional career in the engaging, delightful, and bestselling autobiographical work Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman! This collection was subsequently followed by The Meaning of It All: Thoughts of a Citizen Scientist and Tuva or Bust!: Richard Feynman's Last Journey. Feynman studied at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and continued his studies at Princeton University, where he obtained his Ph.D. in physics in 1942 with a thesis supervised by John Wheeler. His thesis dealt with advanced waves, which can be described as the theory of electromagnetic waves that travel "backwards" in time. His first lecture at Princeton on the subject was interesting enough to draw an audience that included none less than Einstein Pauli , and von Neumann After completing his Ph.D., Feynman moved to Cornell University in 1945 as professor of theoretical physics. There, he met

Richard Feynman and The Connection Machine by, W. Daniel Hillis for Physics Today One day when I was having lunch with Richard Feynman, I mentioned to him that I was planning to start a company to build a parallel computer with a million processors. His reaction was unequivocal, "That is positively the dopiest idea I ever heard." For Richard a crazy idea was an opportunity to either prove it wrong or prove it right. Either way, he was interested. By the end of lunch he had agreed to spend the summer working at the company. Richard's interest in computing went back to his days at Los Alamos, where he supervised the "computers," that is, the people who operated the mechanical calculators. There he was instrumental in setting up some of the first plug-programmable tabulating machines for physical simulation. His interest in the field was heightened in the late 1970's when his son, Carl, began studying computers at MIT. I got to know Richard through his son. I was a graduate student at the MIT Artificial Intelligence Lab and Carl was one of the undergraduates helping me with my thesis project. I was trying to design a computer fast enough to solve common sense reasoning problems. The machine, as we envisioned it, would contain a million tiny computers, all connected by a communications network. We called it a "Connection Machine." Richard, always interested in his son's activities, followed the project closely. He was skeptical about the idea, but whenever we met at a conference or I visited CalTech, we would stay up until the early hours of the morning discussing details of the planned machine. The first time he ever seemed to believe that we were really going to try to build it was the lunchtime meeting.

Feynman, Richard P., Feynman Harvey of Pasadena in full RICHARD PHILLIPS FEYNMAN (b. May 11, 1918, New York, N.Y., U.S.d. Feb. 15, 1988, Los Angeles, Calif.), American theoretical physicist who was probably the most brilliant, influential, and iconoclastic figure in his field in the post-World War II era. Feynman remade quantum electrodynamics the theory of the interaction between light and matterand thus altered the way science understands the nature of waves and particles. He was co-awarded the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1965 for this work, which tied together in an experimentally perfect package all the varied phenomena at work in light, radio, electricity, and magnetism. The other cowinners of the Nobel Prize, Julian S. Schwinger of the United States and Tomonaga Shin'ichiro of Japan, had independently created equivalent theories, but it was Feynman's that proved the most original and far-reaching. The problem-solving tools that he inventedincluding pictorial representations of particle interactions known as Feynman diagrams permeated many areas of theoretical physics in the second half of the 20th century.
