But it is true that if we look at a glass of wine closely enough we see the entire universe. "A poet once said, 'The whole universe is in a glass of wine.' We will probably never know in what sense he meant it, for poets do not write to be understood. I picked up the first volume and upon a cursory glance, I happened to read this paragraph, in utter admiration and reverence: There were three attractive red-colored cloth volumes of Lectures in Physics by Richard P. Aloysius' College, Jabalpur, and there I took his permission to look up his personal library. S C Mookerjee, our Professor and Head of Department in Physics at St. He held the Richard Chace Tolman professorship in theoretical physics at Caltech.įour decades ago, I once dared to walk into the office of Mr. In addition to his work in theoretical physics, Feynman has been credited with pioneering the field of quantum computing, and introducing the concept of nanotechnology (creation of devices at the molecular scale). He assisted in the development of the atomic bomb and was a member of the panel that investigated the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster. During his lifetime and after his death, Feynman became one of the most publicly known scientists in the world. Feynman developed a widely used pictorial representation scheme for the mathematical expressions governing the behavior of subatomic particles, which later became known as Feynman diagrams. For his contributions to the development of quantum electrodynamics, Feynman was a joint recipient of the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1965, together with Julian Schwinger and Sin-Itiro Tomonaga. Richard Phillips Feynman was an American physicist known for the path integral formulation of quantum mechanics, the theory of quantum electrodynamics and the physics of the superfluidity of supercooled liquid helium, as well as work in particle physics (he proposed the parton model).
