  • Simulating Physics with Computers
    International Journal of Theoretical Physics, VoL 21, Nos. 6/7, 1982 Simulating Physics with Computers Richard P. Feynman Department of Physics, California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, California 91107 Received May 7, 1981 1. INTRODUCTION On the program it says this is a keynote speech--and I don't know what a keynote speech is. I do not intend in any way to suggest what should be in this meeting as a keynote of the subjects or anything like that. I have my own things to say and to talk about and there's no implication that anybody needs to talk about the same thing or anything like it. So what I want to talk about is what Mike Dertouzos suggested that nobody would talk about. I want to talk about the problem of simulating physics with computers and I mean that in a specific way which I am going to explain. The reason for doing this is something that I learned about from Ed Fredkin, and my entire interest in the subject has been inspired by him. It has to do with learning something about the possibilities of computers, and also something about possibilities in physics. If we suppose that we know all the physical laws perfectly, of course we don't have to pay any attention to computers. It's interesting anyway to entertain oneself with the idea that we've got something to learn about physical laws; and if I take a relaxed view here (after all I'm here and not at home) I'll admit that we don't understand everything.

  • The Meaning of It All Richard Feynman
    The Meaning of it All Richard Feynman THE MEANING OF IT ALL by Richard P. Feynman Richard P. Feynman was one of this century's most brilliant theoretical physicists and original thinkers. Born in Far Rockaway, New York, in 1918, he studied at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where he graduated with a BS in 1939. He went on to Princeton and received his Ph.D. in 1942. During the war years he worked at the Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory. He became Professor of Theoretical Physics at Cornell University, where he worked with Hans Bethe. He all but rebuilt the theory of quantum electrodynamics and it was for this work that he shared the Nobel Prize in 1965. His simplified rules of calculation became standard tools of theoretical analysis in both quantum electrodynamics and high-energy physics. Feynman was a visiting professor at the California Institute of Technology in 1950, where he later accepted a permanent faculty appointment, and became Richard Chace Tolman Professor of Theoretical Physics in 1959. He had an extraordinary ability to communicate his science to audiences at all levels, and was a well-known and popular lecturer. Richard Feynman died in 1988 after a long illness. Freeman Dyson, of the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey, called him 'the most original mind of his generation', while in its obituary The New York Times described him as 'arguably the most brilliant, iconoclastic and influential of the postwar generation of theoretical physicists'. A number of collections and adaptations of his lectures have been published, including The Feynman Lectures on Physics, QED (Penguin, 1990), The Character of Physical Law (Penguin, 1992), Six Easy Pieces (Penguin, 1998), The Meaning of It All (Penguin, 1999) and Six Not-So-Easy Pieces (Allen Lane, 1998; Penguin, 1999).

    The Science and Legacy of Richard Phillips Feynman Avinash Dhara, Apoorva D. Patelb, and Spenta R. Wadiaa aInternational Centre for Theoretical Sciences, Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, Bangalore 560089 bCentre for High Energy Physics, Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore 560012 October 2018 Abstract This year is the 100th birth anniversary of Richard Phillips Feynman. This article commemorates his scientific contributions and lasting legacy. 1 Richard Feynman Richard Phillips F eynman was one of the most influential, iconoclastic and famous physicists of the second half of the twentieth century1, who made profound contributions to physics and its visual language (the Feynman diagrams). More importantly, he provided a new meaning to what it means to understand the character of physical law, unfolding it in his uniquely refreshing style to explain the `beauty of world'. Feynman was born on 11th May 1918 in New York city, and grew up in Far Rockaway in Queens. He was an undergraduate at MIT during 1935-39, and got his doctorate from Princeton University in 1942, advised by John Wheeler. Besides his work with Wheeler on classical electrodynamics, he wrote a thesis on \The Principle of Least Action in Quantum Mechanics" that reformulates non- relativistic quantum mechanics in terms of path integrals. During and after his PhD, he was involved with the Manhattan Project till 1945. After that he spent 5 years at Cornell University, where he developed his Nobel prize winning work on how to do calculations in quantum electrodynamics using Feynman diagrams. Feynman moved to Caltech in 1950, and spent the rest of his career there till he Bongo player and died on 15th February 1988.

Feynman | 144 pages | 06 Apr 2005 | The Perseus Books Group | 9780465023943 | English | New York, United States [PDF] [EPUB] The Meaning of It All: Thoughts of a Citizen-Scientist Download That is indeed difficult. Whether the result is a good thing or a bad thing depends on how it is used, but the power is a value. When this objective view is finally attained, and the mystery and majesty of matter are fully appreciated, to then turn the objective eye back on man viewed as matter, to view life as part of this universal mystery of greatest depth, is to sense an experience which is very rare, and very exciting. It usually ends in laughter and a delight in the futility of trying to understand what this atom in the universe is, this thing—atoms with curiosity—that looks at itself and wonders why it wonders. Well, these scientific views end in awe and mystery, lost at the edge in uncertainty, but they appear to be so deep and so impressive that the theory that it is all arranged as a stage for God to watch man's struggle for good and evil seems inadequate. Some will tell me that I have just described a religious experience. Very well, you may call it what you will. Then, in that language I would say that the young man's religious experience is of such a kind that he finds the religion of his church inadequate to describe, to encompass that kind of experience.

    Feynman, by Jim Ottaviani and Leland Myrick Bibliography ISBN 978-1596432598 Complete bibliography (almost*) for Feynman, by Jim Ottaviani and Leland Myrick (NY: First Second, 2011) By Feynman “Address to Far Rockaway High School Audience.” (Courtesy of the California Institute of Technology Archives, 1966.) Much of the sequence showing Feynman in high school comes from this speech. Even if Caltech wasn’t such a lovely campus—and if their student union didn’t offer terrific vegetarian pizza by the slice!—I’d recommend a trip just to read it. The Character of Physical Law (Cambridge, MA: MIT Press, 1965). The perfect book to read to get a feel for quantum physics. The introduction for this book comes from an anecdote recounted by James Gleick's introduction to the 1994 Modern Library edition, so seek that one out if you can’t find the original. Classic Feynman: All the Adventures of a Curious Character (NY: W.W. Norton, 2006). While I still like the original volumes, since the Feynman stories out of order are a great way to experience a life the way it is—messy, and without a discernable plot!—this may just be bias resulting from these being my first exposure to them. So if you only get one, the omnibus Classic Feynman is your best bet. It not only has all the stories from Surely You’re Joking, Mr. Feynman! (1985) and “What Do You Care What Other People Think?” (1988) but also includes a CD with Feynman telling the “Los Alamos From Below” story. Carl and Michelle Feynman contribute to the book as well, as do Freeman Dyson and Alan Alda.
