Comparing Chess and Science - Awesome video!

Chess news and chess trivia blog (c) Alexandra Kosteniuk, 2010


Hello Everyone,


Richard Phillips Feynman was an American physicist known for his work in the path integral formulation of quantum mechanics, the theory of quantum electrodynamics and the physics of the superfluidity of supercooled liquid helium, as well as in particle physics (he proposed the parton model).


For his contributions to the development of quantum electrodynamics, Feynman, jointly with Julian Schwinger and Sin-Itiro Tomonaga, received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1965. During his lifetime, Feynman became one of the best-known scientists in the world.


He assisted in the development of the atomic bomb and was a member of the panel that investigated the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster. Here is an awesome video of him giving a chess analogy for science.
