Richard Feynman who passed away on this day in 1988. Feynman was awarded the 1965 Physics Prize for his work on QED.
Feynman, ..., he really stood for simplicity honesty and a way of thinking which focused on the phenomena themselves rather than the fancy mathematics incidentally.
... Feynman was in fact very philosophical, despite the fact that he claimed to hate philosophy and he was indeed the most philosophical physicist I've ever known.
He also claimed to dislike mathematics, he was the most mathematical physicist I knew, but he knew how to use it and he knew how to use the simplest bits of it to get the most far-reaching conclusions.
