Derek Abbott is a British-Australian physicist and electronic engineer, and professor at the University of Adelaide.
"My advice to all students is to question everything! You never know where a "silly question" may lead you."
Richard Feynman
1918 – 1988
Richard Phillips Feynman was an American theoretical physicist. He shared the 1965 Nobel Prize in Physics with Julian Schwinger and Shin'ichirō Tomonaga "for their fundamental work in quantum electrodynamics (QED), with deep-ploughing consequences for the physics of elementary particles". He is also known for his work in the path integral formulation of quantum mechanics, the theory of the physics of the superfluidity of supercooled liquid helium, and the parton model.
"Physics isn't the most important thing. Love is."
