Allow me to go on for a minute about Richard P. Feynman, one of the greatest people ever probably. Other than making important contributions to quantum field theory and particle physics, winning the Nobel prize in physics for his work in quantum electrodynamics, introducing the concept of nanotechnology and doing work on a little venture known as the Manhattan Project, Feynman was a professor at Caltech, a populariser of science and an all-around awesome person. His famous lectures on physics were turned into a textbook for Caltech students and thanks to the internet you can watch them for free online. You can also read most of his autobiographical book Surely You’re Joking, Mr. Feynman! for free on Google Books.
