Richard Feynman |Richar Feynman Won Noble Prize for His Research in Quantum Electrodynamics

Richard FeynmanIt was known that the American space ship Challenger had blown within minutes of its take off.  Just think that how difficult it is to detect the reason for that accident which is happened in 1986. Richard Feynman, who is an important person in that research team had explained the correct reason and got apprised by all. The reason was the rubber O ring seal of booster rocket which is used to send the spaceship to space. He explained that the rubber seal is compressed and lost the original position as the temperature on that day was less than zero degrees. So, the gas was leaked and tank went to maximum temperature and blown. He also showed this practically by keeping the seals in a glass of ice water.

Richard Philips Feynman was born in New York City in America on 3rd May 1918.  He was unable to speak till three years, but later grown up actively. He always used to complete the puzzles in childhood and used to repair radios. He always used to ahead of his classes in science and mathematics.  He did his PhD after completing the degree from Massachusetts institute of technology. At the age of twenty he was recognized as   one of the theoretical scientists. He got the noble prize for research in “Quantum electrodynamics “subject in his 47th year which explains the influence of light on matter. In this the explanations he had given based on mathematics are known as Feynman diagrams. He is a good teacher and made his mark in Quantum mechanics, Particle physics, Nano technology areas. “The Feynman lectures in physics book” is the standard for science students. The books “surely you are joking Feynman” and “what do you care and what other people think” wrote by him will tell that he is a genius. He is singer, painter and also a member in atom bomb construction group.
