About The Author

Richard P. Feynman

Richard Feynman (1918-88) received the 1965 Nobel Prize in Physics for his contributions to the development of quantum electrodynamics. One of the best-known scientists of his generation, Feynman assisted in the development of the atomic bomb and was a prominent member of the panel that investigated the 1986 Challenger disaster. Known worldwide as the voice of NASA’s Jet Propulsion Lab, Albert R. Hibbs (1924-2003) studied for his doctorate under Feynman’s tutelage and transcribed and edited Feynman’s lectures in quantum electrodynamics. Daniel F. Styer holds a Ph.D. from Cornell University and is the John and Marianne Schiffer Professor of Physics at Oberlin College.
