Some of those are The Character Of Physical Law, Relativistic Cut-Off For Quantum Electrodynamics, Feynman Lectures On Physics : Mainly Mechanics, Radiation, And Heat , and QED: The Strange Theory Of Light And Matter. In 1939, Feynman graduated with a BSc degree from Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He completed his PhD from Princeton University in 1942. He worked at Princeton, Cornell University, and the California Institute of Technology. Feynman played an important role in developing the atomic bomb and introducing the concept of nanotechnology. He also came up with a pictorial representation scheme, which is now known as the Feynman diagrams. Feynman was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1965 and was named one of the ten greatest physicists of all time by Physics World, a British journal.
