    Richard Feynman was an enigmatic genius, full of contradictions, who made extraordinary science look magically easy. The Nobel Prize-winning physicist was known for his humble roots and his bravado, sexism along with generous support for women academicians, a keen desire to demystify and help others with physics as well as sometimes venomous dismissal of rivals’ explanations.

    The article serves as a brief overview of Feynman as a person and as a physicist: his history with the opposite gender (very briefly), his contribution to quantum physics, and his other accomplishments.

    That first quoted paragraph hints at a much more salivating story than is present, but if you're looking to find out what makes Feynman great, this is the article for you.
