i can listen to this guy for hours....one of the greatest physicists of all time

Him and Einstein are my favorites.

Einstein is the greatest physicist of the 20th century bar none...but Feynman was the best at communicating with people about physics

There is no 'best' in science. Every single well-known scientist stands on the shoulders of their peers. I just like Feynmann and Einstein for their personalities. They were very independent thinkers in a field with lots of stuffy people.

Did you read the Feynmann book? He talks about strip clubs and saying things like "do you have a map of the cat?"

Meanwhile, a bit earlier, Einstein was ignoring classes, playing a wild violin, and knocking up babes in college. Here's a letter he sent his first wife (baby's mama in today's terms):

The relationship progressed. Einstein became estranged from his wife. The biography reprints a chilling letter from Einstein to his wife, a proposed "contract" in which they could continue to live together under certain conditions. Indeed that was the heading: "Conditions."

A. You will make sure
1. that my clothes and laundry are kept in good order;
2. that I will receive my three meals regularly in my room;
3. that my bedroom and study are kept neat, and especially that my desk is left for my use only.
B. You will renounce all personal relations with me insofar as they are not completely necessary for social reasons...

There's more, including "you will stop talking to me if I request it."

Peeped his book about the Challenger investigation. Great read.

Feynman was also a painter as well

So was Winston Churchill. I don't know, I never had much taste for the visual arts.

Really, I don't even have taste for music. I just prefer hip hop of all the modern incarnations. I don't like having artistic taste.

Feynman was by far the greatest when it came to communicating physics ideas to layman's terms

I may or may not have the Feynman series, however I do not own Six Easy Pieces
