Description
This channel is dedicated to physics professor Richard Feynman.
Feynman served as the Richard Chace Tolman Professor of Theoretical Physics at the California Institute of Technology from 1951 until his death. He won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1965 for “fundamental work in quantum electrodynamics, with deep-ploughing consequences for the physics of elementary particles”.
"Following the establishment of the theory of relativity and quantum mechanics, an initial relativistic theory was formulated for the interaction between charged particles and electromagnetic fields. This needed to be reformulated, however. In 1948 in particular, Richard Feynman contributed to creating a new quantum electrodynamics by introducing Feynman diagrams: graphic representations of various interactions between different particles. These diagrams facilitate the calculation of interaction probabilities."
Feynman was born May 11, 1918, in New York City, NY.
He died February 15, 1988, in Los Angeles, CA.
