1918 – 1988
Richard Feynman
A playful physicist who made the tiniest bits of the universe fun.
The Story
Richard grew up in New York asking a million questions and never stopping.
He loved to figure out how things worked, from radios to atoms to ants marching on the floor.
He became one of the greatest physicists ever, and he drew little diagrams to explain how tiny particles zip around.
He taught with big smiles and silly stories, so even hard ideas felt like a game.
In 1965 he won the Nobel Prize in Physics.
