On February 15, 1988, physicist and Nobel Prize winner Richard Feynman passed away peacefully at the age of 69. Regarded as one of the most influential scientists of the Twentieth Century, Feynman had a long and varied career. Feynman's scientific legacy includes significant contributions to quantum mechanics, particle theory, electrodynamics, computer science, and global research projects. He was a professor of theoretical physics at Cornell University and, later, at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech). Feynman was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1965 for his work in quantum electrodynamics. In addition to his renowned scientific accomplishments, Feynman also had a formidable track record as a lecturer and educator who inspired generations of young scientists. His attributes as a gifted storyteller and communicator of scientific principles earned him the nickname "The Great Explainer." Feynman was also a talented artist, writer, and safecracker who leveraged his creative and intellectual interests to engage with topics beyond physics. His works "Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman!" and "What Do You Care What Other People Think?" remain popular autobiographical accounts of his life. Feynman's loss will be felt by the global scientific community and those who worked and studied alongside him, and his memory and legacy will live on.
