Homage to Richard Feynman on His Hundredth Birthdate

May 11, 2018, would be the physicist Richard Feynman’s hundredth birthday.  I gave a talk to OLLI (Osher Lifelong Learning Institute) on him in 2012.  I never referenced it appropriately on my list of topics.  But to pay homage to his wonderful contributions to physics, I am linking to it here again.  “Richard Feynman, A Life of Many Paths“.

Feynman’s colleague at Cal Tech, and collaborator on weak interaction theory, was Murray Gell-Mann.  I also gave a talk on him, which now turns up blank, so I am reposting another copy.  It is titled, “Murray Gell-Mann, Quarks and QCD, A Life of Symmetry”.
