Richard Feynman, the American physicist, most famous for pioneering the field of quantum electro-dynamics - while playing the bongos at a strip club - was one of the twentieth century's great explainers. Feynman could take the most abstruse, mind-bending stuff and break it down like you wouldn't believe: simple; elegant; and at times really moving. And he was also a great scientist. Not only did he share Nobel prize in 1965 for helping other physicists understand how light an...
