Professor Richard Feynman

Lew Rockwell posts two brief talks by a man who is a hero to many of my brighter students — Remembering a Great Teacher and Feynman on Fire.

Comments recently left on this blog give us an interesting insight into the brain of "the late Dr. Richard Feynman, arguably the greatest theoretical physicist of the latter half of the 20th century. His officially tested IQ was 127. Imbecilic by theoretical mathematician/physicist standards, but on closer examination, it seems that Feynman's mind was simply highly specialized in those tasks that he not only could perform well, but better than anybody else."
