A bit of his accomplishments The above picture is a formal pose of Feynman after receiving the Nobel Prize in Physics, along with Sin'ichiro Tomanaga and Julian Schwinger, for his work in Quantum Electrodynamics(QED). Although Tomanaga and Schwinger had independently created equivalent theories, it was Feynman's that proved to be the most original and far-reaching. Feynman was recruited onto the Los Alamos project in 1942, where he developed many experimental devices to test his theories, without having to blow up Los Alamos. He also created safety procedures to protect the staff at Oakridge from radiation while separating uranium. Perhaps the greatest of his contribution was the Feynman Diagrams, the simple diagrams are easily visualized graphic analogues of the complicated mathematical expressions needed to describe the behavior of interacting particles. The Diagrams have greatly simplified some of the calculations used to observe and predict these interactions. Feynman also worked on superfluidity. HE along with Murray Gell-Mann devised a theory that accounted for most of the phenomena associated with superfluidity. Feynman also invented a theory of "partons," hypothetical hard particles inside the nucleus of the atom, that helped lead to the modern understanding of quarks. Feynman throughout his life was instrumental in the development and our understanding of physics today.
