This focus on answers rather than methods first became evident when Feynman led the math team in high school in Far Rockaway, New York. As undergraduates at M.I.T., he and a friend, Theodore Welton, re-created for themselves much of the physics discovered in the quantum revolution that had taken place in Europe during the 1920s. And although he shared the 1965 Nobel Prize for the theory of quantum electrodynamics with Julian Schwinger and Shin'ichiro Tomonaga, Feynman had an approach that was typically bizarre. Instead of using conventional calculations, he invented "Feynman diagrams," arrows and squiggles that mapped...
...lilac evening I walked with every muscle aching among the lights of 27th and Welton in the Denver colored section, wishing I were a Negro, feeling that the best the white world had offered was not enough ecstasy for me, not enough life, joy, kicks, darkness, music, not enough night.
