Richard Feyn made nukes w/ Einstein at L. Alamos, then made quantum electronics

To be fair (or really nit-picky), I’m holding my copy of Amnon Yariv’s book Quantum Electronics in my hands right now, and p. 557 talks about Feynman diagrams.
“Quantum Electronics” is the physics behind lasers and associated phenomena. Feynman really didn’t have a lot to do with this, being m,ore involved in much more fundamental physics. And I’m sure your pres. maade a slight error. But it’s still interesting.

Well, there was his portrait of Marie Curie basking in the discovery of radium.

“But how did you get her to pose for you?”

I’m covered - I said “kind of” autobiography. And both books are very episodic. But still a good place to start.

The Pleasure of Finding Things Out is a collection of articles and speeches. Genius is great, but a bit heavy going for a first introduction to him.

Don’t tiptoe into Feynman’s genius-- read The Feynman Lectures on Physics. They’re the only way to go, and it’s just Freshman Physics…

Or you could watch some of them: Feynman lecture videos
