id="1-Who-was-Richard-Feynman"></span>1. Who was Richard Feynman?<span class="ez-toc-section-end"></span></h2><p>Richard Feynman was an American theoretical physicist renowned for his work in the path integral formulation of <a href="https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/schrodingers-cat-and-the-qbit/" data-wpil-monitor-id="21">quantum mechanics</a>, the theory of quantum electrodynamics, and the physics of superfluidity of supercooled liquid helium, as well as in particle physics for which he proposed the parton model. He was known for his distinctive teaching style and colorful personality.</p><h2><span class="ez-toc-section" id="2-What-is-Richard-Feynman-most-famous-for"></span>2. What is Richard Feynman most famous for?<span class="ez-toc-section-end"></span></h2><p>Feynman is most famous for his contributions to the development of quantum electrodynamics (QED). He introduced the Feynman diagrams, a graphical representation of the interactions of subatomic particles, which have become a fundamental tool in quantum physics. He shared the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1965 for his work in this field.</p><h2><span class="ez-toc-section" id="3-Did-Richard-Feynman-contribute-to-the-Manhattan-Project"></span>3. Did Richard Feynman contribute to the Manhattan Project?<span class="ez-toc-section-end"></span></h2><p>Yes, Richard Feynman was a key member of the Manhattan Project, the U.S. government research project during World War II that produced the first atomic bombs. He worked at the Los Alamos National Laboratory, where he made significant contributions to the development of the bomb.</p><h2><span class="ez-toc-section" id="4-What-are-Feynmans-notable-publications"></span>4. What are Feynman’s notable publications?<span class="ez-toc-section-end"></span></h2><p>Feynman’s notable publications include “The Feynman Lectures on Physics,” a comprehensive textbook based on lectures he gave at Caltech. His other works include “QED: The Strange Theory of Light and Matter,” which introduces quantum electrodynamics to a general audience, and “Surely You’re Joking, Mr. Feynman!” a book of anecdotes from his life.</p><h2><span class="ez-toc-section" id="5-What-was-Richard-Feynmans-teaching-philosophy"></span>5. What was Richard Feynman’s teaching philosophy?<span class="ez-toc-section-end"></span></h2><p>Feynman’s teaching philosophy was centered around making complex concepts accessible and engaging. He believed in the importance of understanding the fundamentals deeply rather than memorizing advanced topics. His teaching style was characterized by clarity, simplicity, and a bit of humor.</p><h2><span class="ez-toc-section" id="6-How-did-Richard-Feynman-impact-the-field-of-physics"></span>6. How did Richard Feynman impact the field of physics?<span class="ez-toc-section-end"></span></h2><p>Feynman significantly impacted physics through his work in quantum mechanics and quantum electrodynamics. His approaches and methods, such as Feynman diagrams, have become standard tools in theoretical physics. His contributions have influenced many areas of physics and have helped in simplifying and solving complex quantum physics problems.</p></div><div class="saboxplugin-wrap" itemtype="http://schema.org/Person" itemscope itemprop="author"><div class="saboxplugin-tab"><div class="saboxplugin-gravatar"></div><div class="saboxplugin-authorname"><a href="https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/author/greg-bernhardt/" class="vcard author" rel="author"><span class="fn">Greg Bernhardt</span></a></div><div class="saboxplugin-desc"><div itemprop="description"><p>I have a BS in Information Sciences from UW-Milwaukee.

The only figure I think is justified by that document (which is the correct primary source) is “1 in 100”. The two key quotes from that document are, first, from the opening paragraph:</p><p>“The estimates range from roughly 1 in 100 to 1 in 100,000. The higher figures come from the working engineers, and the very low figures from management.”</p><p>Second, from the conclusion:</p><p>“They [the Shuttles] therefore fly in a relatively unsafe condition, with a chance of failure of the order of a percent (it is difficult to be more accurate).”</p><p>(The Wiki page does mention Feynman’s book, What Do You Care What Other People Think, the second half of which is his telling the story of the Challenger investigation. It’s possible that the “1 in 200” figure is given somewhere in there; I don’t have my copy handy to check.
