A hero, one of the greatest minds of all time.

Feynman was in fact, an expert safe cracker. He managed to crack almost every safe part of the Manhattan proj. and made a point of trying to bring to the heads attention how vulnerable the safes in fact were to being cracked. Their response? To instead have everyone change the codes and warn everyone about Feynman! Typical. Check out is autobiography. It's one hell of a read.

Thanks, I did not know this! Respect +100

There are many books out there, this is my favorite one by far:

Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman!

I like the fact he still read the letters on the off chance the combination was correct. The open mind is only one that can learn.

A personal hero of mine. He is like the one dude who popularized Physics. Like Cousteau did with Oceanography. I have read all his books.

Great Sift!

I am so in love with this man.

Goddddd i wish he was one of my lecturers. Physics of matter would be fun!

He's like everything the rest of the world wants from America, but which it has ceased to be.

This was required summer reading at my high school back in the 80's. I ended up writing my college app essay about him. Really has stuck with me.
