Richard Feynman, a prominent physicist and Nobel Prize-winning physicist, was known for his curiosity, ability to think outside conventional wisdom, and his willingness to question everything,
Feynman made significant contributions to the field of quantum mechanics and quantum electrodynamics.
He was also known for his charismatic personality and ability to communicate complex scientific concepts in an engaging and accessible manner. He also had a lot to say about uncertainty in science and life. In The Pleasure of Finding Things Out, Feynman said:
“We absolutely must leave room for doubt or there is no progress and there is no learning. There is no learning without having to pose a question. And a question requires doubt.
