One of the most brilliant minds in history spoke like a working-class Queens native.

Because he WAS a working-class Queens boy. He grew up in the Rockaways, cutting vegetables at a restaurant for his high school job.

He won the Nobel Prize for combining quantum mechanics with special relativity, which is one of the most important advances in the history of physics. Ever. Literally on the same level as Newton.

He also managed to reduce pages of complex math into literal "squiggly drawings" that have turned out to be one of the most revolutionary languages in physics.

And to boot, he was probably the best "explainer" in all of history. He had a very simple rule: "If you cannot explain a complex idea in plain, simple language that a 12-year-old can understand, you do not truly understand it yourself."

So with all that said…here he is explaining a lot of things, in very simple terms.

Enjoy learning a LOT!

3. HUGE Richard Feynman fan here.

One of the most fascinating people of the 20th century, without doubt. He taught himself to improve his sense of smell, how to draw, and actually made Congress understand what went wrong on the Challenger space shuttle. And oh yeah, made quantum mechanics actually useful. Great dude.
