Feynman was an unconventional thinker who always tried to get to the bottom of things. In doing so, he developed an intuitive view that made him one of the greatest teachers of physics. The author captures this development and explains it in the context of the zeitgeist of modern physics: What revolutionary ideas did Feynman have, what contribution did he make to the development of quantum mechanics and quantum field theory, how can Feynman's methods be understood? Be enchanted by this book and understand the physics of the genius whose 100th birthday was celebrated in 2018. 410 0$aSpringer Biographies,$x2365-0613 606 $aPhysics 606 $aQuantum field theory 606 $aString theory 606 $aScience education 606 $aSpace sciences 606 $aPopular Science in Physics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Q29000 606 $aQuantum Field Theories, String Theory$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19048 606 $aHistory and Philosophical Foundations of Physics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P29000 606 $aScience Education$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/O27000 606 $aSpace Sciences (including Extraterrestrial Physics, Space Exploration and Astronautics)$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P22030 615 0$aPhysics. 615 0$aQuantum field theory. 615 0$aString theory. 615 0$aScience education. 615 0$aSpace sciences. 615 14$aPopular Science in Physics. 615 24$aQuantum Field Theories, String Theory. 615 24$aHistory and Philosophical Foundations of Physics. 615 24$aScience Education. 615 24$aSpace Sciences (including Extraterrestrial Physics, Space Exploration and Astronautics). 676 $a530.092 700 $aResag$b Jörg$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0835179 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910303440003321 996 $aFeynman and His Physics$92528714 997 $aUNINA
