Major contributions to Physics
After World War II, and a brief respite from doing research, Feynman resumed where he had left off before the war with quantum physics. He worked on several projects over the next few decades, achieving successes in most of them. He and another physicist worked together to test and prove their theory on "weak decay," about how it occurs, what are the results of it, etc. His largest gift was his diagrams that describe the way that particles act in a certain system and tells one how to express this movement in mathematics, thus through a simple diagram one could analyze complex atomic interactions. He recieved the Nobel Prize in 1965 with two other scientists for solving the problems with quantum electrothermodynamics. For those that want more detail on the Feynman Diagrams, click here.
