Carl Feynman

Carl Feynman, often referred to as Richard Feynman’s son, is not directly linked to Quantum Electrodynamics (QED) as a physicist. However, Richard Feynman, his father, was a pivotal figure in QED, which describes how light and matter interact. He introduced an innovative way to visualize particle interactions using "Feynman diagrams," which are simplified illustrations that represent complex quantum events. These diagrams help physicists calculate probabilities of different outcomes in particle physics. Richard's contributions led to deeper understanding and advancements in theoretical physics, earning him a Nobel Prize in 1965 for his work in QED.
