Detailed explanation-1: -“Science is a way of trying not to fool yourself. The first principle is that you must not fool yourself, and you are the easiest person to fool.” Richard Feynman (1918–1988) was a maverick American Nobel Prize-winning theoretical physicist who was famous for his brilliant wit and effervescent personality.
Detailed explanation-2: -Feynman’s childhood home was in the community of Far Rockaway, just on the southern skirt of Manhattan. Financially his family was neither rich nor poor. They were materially comfortable, but not wealthy. As a young man he had the opportunity to learn to work industriously, but without undo pressure to perform.
