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. He developed a widely used pictorial representation scheme for the mathematical expressions governing the behavior of subatomic particles, which later became known as Feynman diagrams. During his lifetime, Feynman became one of the best-known scientists in the world. In a 1999 poll of 130 leading physicists worldwide by the British journal Physics World he was ranked as one of the ten greatest physicists of all time.
He assisted in the development of the atomic bomb during World War II and became known to a wide public in the 1980s as a member of the Rogers Commission, the panel that investigated the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster. In addition to his work in theoretical physics, Feynman has been credited with pioneering the field of quantum computing, and introducing the concept of nanotechnology. He held the Richard Chace Tolman professorship in theoretical physics at the California Institute of Technology.
Feynman was a keen popularizer of physics through both books and lectures, notably a 1959 talk on top-down nanotechnology called There's Plenty of Room at the Bottom, and the three-volume publication of his undergraduate lectures, The Feynman Lectures on Physics. Feynman also became known through his semi-autobiographical books Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman! and What Do You Care What Other People Think? and books written about him, such as Tuva or Bust!.

Progressing towards real understanding in a given topic of interest can often be euphoric.
Most of school/university tends to serve as exposure and accelerated practice for tools/established techniques.
This can be very frustrating when one personally values and seeks out meaningful understanding over competency.
Although time is limited during school, try to use it for what it is, exposure and skill building. Furthermore, time willing, use that exposure as jumping off points for exploration of your understanding.
Though this takes time and can be arduous, I find that as meaningful understanding is developed, less and less direct "tool practice" is needed to effectively solve problems (depending on how heavily your teacher relates evaluates test/homework problems to their own personal style of understanding).

I can't express enough my admiration to this guy. He has all the traits that I consider precious. Intelligence, innocence, playful, and communicative. He is obviously smarter than most of us, but I don't feel distant, but feel the charm of his intelligence and his humor toward physics and life. I think Einstein is also funny and witty, unfortunately I can't find any video Einstein taught. Mr. Feynman, you are a fine man.

This man just explained Kepler's 2nd law better in,3 minutes, than any textbook I've ever read.

Can listen to this all day but cannot sit even 1 minute in peace in my own class.

#Covid is a strawman built on the 83 yr avg BabyBoomer Bust lifecycle.
First wave of BabyBoomers is 75.
Second wave of BabyBoomer deaths due to influenza pneumonia "Covid" will be 75 and 76.
#ClimateChange is caused by the Milankovitch cycles not the co2 Strawman

i hear you!!

I've had some professors that really didn't seem to be all too enthused in their field. Maybe they were and just didn't know how to communicate it.

That's common
@PassiveSmoking
He manages to be so entertaining when presenting such difficult ideas, as with all the best teachers he uses humour as a teaching aid.

+PassiveSmoking Not sure who said it, maybe professor Feynman himself..."If you cannot explain a thing simply, you do not understand that thing."
