Their enthusiasm infuses every aspect of the book, from the riveting opening scene of Feynman lecturing while a weighted pendulum whooshes toward his head to the aptly spirited and opinionated bibliography. Ottaviani and Myrick do a spectacular job presenting their remarkable subject-achieving a kind of Vulcan mind-meld with Feynman, we come to know him so well-even unto clear explanations of complex physics. Feynman talks about his affinity for women, but we hardly need to be told: in panel after panel we see him noticing them, or watch a scene through his eyes in which the women are vividly drawn while the men fade to invisibility. In questa puntata incontriamo Riccardo Zecchina, fisico.

The Feynman Lectures on Physics, volumes I-III, by Richard Feynman. Una spedizione sul campo perché, come diceva Feynman: lesperimento è il solo giudice della verità scientifica. We witness young Feynman struggling with mathematical concepts until he begins to see them in 3D. Complete bibliography (almost) for Feynman, by Jim Ottaviani and Leland Myrick (NY. The first-person graphic novel format is ideal for telling Feynman’s story. Everything he did, he did with exuberance and a sense of play. JIM OTTAVIANI ( Feynman, Primates) is the worlds preeminent writer of comics and graphic novels about science. He worked at Los Alamos on the atomic bomb and won a Nobel Prize for his work on quantum electrodynamics yet he spent two years designing and teaching a freshman physics course at Caltech and turned down staggeringly lucrative offers from rival universities because the money, he said, would “make me unhappy, and I wouldn’t be able to do any physics.” He was married three times played the frigideira in a samba band in Brazil studied art hung out at topless bars and at Esalen.

Richard Feynman was a brilliant theoretical physicist and an individualist of the first order.
