– Richard Feynman.
I love this man. One of the most brilliant men of our time since Einstein, Feynman saw through the educational system, explored the world in a more rational, skeptical way by interacting with the natural world & testing his knowledge & skepticism through experiment.
Once he realized the cause & effect of his contributions to science, more specifically – to the disastrous aftermath of the atomic bomb – he completely swore off the military industry in despise of their actual motives.
His life was well lived as a successful scientist, educator, husband, father, friend. He is succeeded only by those whom he’s inspired & educated through the benchmarks & platforms he established in physics (& science in general) for future generations of all fields.
