Who are the three all-around theoretical physicists in the world?
Feynman, Landau and Yang Zhenning.

Richard feynman (1965438+May 081-65438+February 0988 15), an American physicist. Feynman is a descendant of Russian and Polish Jews who immigrated to the United States at the end of 19. 1965 Nobel Prize winner in physics. Feynman diagram, Feynman rule and renormalization are put forward, which are indispensable tools for studying quantum electrodynamics and particle physics. Feynman also discovered the singing method of Humai, and had been looking forward to going to Tuwa, the birthplace of Humai, but he failed in the end. He is regarded as the most intelligent theoretical physicist after Einstein and the first person to put forward the concept of nano.

Richard feynman, after graduating from high school, entered the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, majoring in mathematics and electronic engineering at first, and then switched to physics. 1939 graduated with honors from Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and in June 1942 received a doctorate in theoretical physics from Princeton University. In the same year, I married my high school sweetheart Irene. From 65438 to 0942, 24-year-old Feynman joined the American atomic bomb research project team and participated in the secret development of the atomic bomb project "Manhattan Project". 1945 Irene passed away. The Manhattan Project ended and Feynman taught at Cornell University. From 65438 to 0950, he served as tolman Professor of Physics at California Institute of Technology until his death.

She remarried on 1960, her son was born on 1962, and her daughter Michelle Feynman was adopted on 1968. 1986, participated in the investigation of the space shuttle challenger crash. Feynman died of peritoneal cancer in Los Angeles, California on February 5, 1988.

Lev Davidovic Landau (1908- 1968), a Soviet Jew, is known as the last all-round physicist in the world. On the occasion of his 50th birthday, the academic circles of the Soviet Union carved his ten great contributions to physics on a stone tablet as a birthday present, and called it the "Landau Ten Commandments" with the same title as a prophet:

Yang Zhenning, male, was born in Sanhe Town, Hefei, Anhui Province in June 1922 10. He is now a professor at the Institute of Advanced Studies of Tsinghua University and the Chinese University of Hong Kong.

1942 graduated from the physics department of The National SouthWest Associated University, 1944 graduated from The National SouthWest Associated University graduate school (Institute of Physics, Tsinghua University Research Institute), 1945 went to study in the United States, and further studied at the University of Chicago, obtaining a doctorate. He was a lecturer at the University of Chicago, a researcher at the Princeton Institute for Advanced Studies, a professor at the State University of New York at Stony Brook and the director of the Institute of Physics. Fellow of China Academy of Sciences, American Academy of Sciences, Academia Sinica, Russian Academy of Sciences, Catholic Academy of Sciences, Brazilian Academy of Sciences, Venezuelan Academy of Sciences, Spanish Academy of Sciences, and British Royal Society. 1949, the first composite model of elementary particles was put forward in cooperation with Enrico Fermi. 1956 cooperated with Li Zhengdao to put forward the theory of parity non-conservation of weak interaction, and * * * won the 1957 Nobel Prize in Physics. ]

In 2002, he served as the chairman of the jury of Shaw Prize. In June 2004, he was employed by distinguished professor of Hainan University.
