= Richard Feynman {c} {tag=1965 Nobel Prize in Physics laureate} {wiki} = Feynman {c} {synonym} Some of Feynman's key characteristics are: * obsession with understanding the experiments well, see also {full} * when doing more stuff, analogous obsession about starting with a concrete example and then generalizing that into the theory * liked to teach others. At for example he mentions that one key problem of the is that they didn't have to teach, and besides that making you feel useless when were not having new ideas, it is also the case that student's questions often inspire you to look again in some direction which sometimes happens to be profitable He hated however mentoring others one to one, because almost everyone was too stupid for him * interest in other , and also random art and culture (and especially if it involves pretty women) Some non-Physics related ones, mostly highlighted at : * * he hated pomp, going as far as seeming uneducated to some people in the way he spoke, or going out of his way to look like that.
