" "From a long view of the history of mankind — seen from, say, ten thousand years from now — there can be little doubt that the most significant event of the 19th century will be judged as Maxwell's discovery of the laws of electrodynamics. The American Civil War will pale into provincial insignificance in comparison with this important scientific event of the same decade.

About Richard Feynman
Richard Phillips Feynman (May 11, 1918 – February 15, 1988) was an American theoretical physicist. He is known for the work he did in the path integral formulation of quantum mechanics, the theory of quantum electrodynamics, the physics of the superfluidity of supercooled liquid helium, and in particle physics, for which he proposed the parton model. For his contributions to the development of quantum electrodynamics, Feynman received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1965 jointly with Julian Schwinger and Shin'ichirō Tomonaga. Feynman developed a widely used pictorial representation scheme for the mathematical expressions describing the behavior of subatomic particles, which later became known as Feynman diagrams. During his lifetime, Feynman became one of the best-known scientists in the world.

Additional quotes by Richard Feynman
So we have these wide principles which sweep across all the different laws, and if one takes too seriously its derivations, and feels that this is only valid because this [assumed more fundamental principle] is valid, you cannot understand the interconnections of the different branches of physics. Some day, when physics is complete, then maybe with this kind of argument we'll know all the laws, then we can start with some axioms (and no doubt somebody will figure out a particular way of doing it) and then all the deductions will be made. But while we don't know all the laws, we can use some to make guesses at theorems which extend beyond the proof.

"جایزه نوبل به من هیچ ربطی نداره. اعصابم رو به هم می ریزه. از مدال خوشم نمیاد. به خاطر کاری که انجام دادم، به خاطر مردمی که کارم را می فهمن افتخار می کنم و می دونم هم که تعداد زیادی فیزیک دان وجود داره که از کار من استفاده می کنن. همین برای من کافیه. واقعا فایده ی اینکه یک نفری تو آکادمی سوئد بگیره بشینه تصمیم بگیره که کار یه نفر دیگه به اندازه کافی ارزشمنده که جایزه بگیره رو نمی فهمم. من قبلا جایزه ام را گرفته ام. جایزه همون لذت پیدا کردن چیز میزه، حالی که کشف یه چیزی به آدم می ده، مشاهده ای که بقیه مردم بتونن ازش استفاده کنن. این چیزا واقعیه، مدال برای من مصنوعی و غیر واقعیه. من به مدال و جایزه اعتقادی ندارم، اذیتم می کنه، مدال اذیتم می کنه، مدال و جایزه سرشونه اس، یونیفورمه، بابام منو اینجوری بار آورده نمی تونم تحمل کنم، این چیزا ناراحتم می کنه." - ریچارد فاینمن، فیزیکدان برنده ی جایزه نوبل"

After the thing went off, there was tremendous excitement at Los Alamos. Everybody had parties, we all ran around. I sat on the end of a jeep and beat drums and so on. But one man, I remember, Bob Wilson, was just sitting there moping. I said, “What are you moping about?” He said, “It’s a terrible thing that we made.” I said, “But you started it. You got us into it.” You see, what happened to me — what happened to the rest of us — is we started for a good reason, then you’re working very hard to accomplish something and it’s a pleasure, it’s excitement. And you stop thinking, you know; you just stop. Bob Wilson was the only one who was still thinking about it, at that moment.
