A two day celebration of the life and legacy of
on the occasion of his 100th birthday.
On May 11 & 12, 2018, Caltech and PMA presented Feynman 100, a celebration of Richard Feynman's life & legacy on the occasion of his 100th birthday.
The May 11 evening event celebrated his broad contributions to science and society as a scientist, teacher, and curious character. Speakers included: Robbert Dijkgraaf, Freeman Dyson, Joan Feynman, Michelle Feynman, Janna Levin, John Preskill and Kip Thorne, Tom Rosenbaum and Leonard Susskind. The evening also included two special video presentations featuring Bill Gates and words from Richard Feynman.
The May 12th, day-long Scientific Symposium brought leading scientists to Caltech to survey the current frontiers of knowledge and share their vision of where science is heading. As Richard Feynman looked toward the future with enthusiasm and curiosity, these are the talks he would have wanted to attend. Speakers include: Rana Adhikari, Jason Alicea, David Gross, Christopher Monroe, Hirosi Ooguri, Sara Seager, and Michael Turner.
