How to use Feynman in a sentence
The deal was that Fredkin would teach Feynman computing, and Feynman would teach Fredkin quantum physics.

Scientific definitions for Feynman
[ fīn′mən ]
American physicist who developed the theory of quantum electrodynamics, laying the foundation for all other quantum field theories. His approach combined quantum mechanics and relativity theory, and exploited a method using diagrams of particle interactions to greatly simplify calculations. For this work he shared with American physicist Julian Schwinger and Japanese physicist Sin-Itiro Tomonaga the 1965 Nobel Prize for physics.
