You may have heard of Richard Feynman, the physicist/prankster who played bongos, wrote a guide on how to pick up women, cracked the safe containing the plans for the atom bomb, solved the mystery of the Challenger disaster, and invented quantum field theory. The latter won him the Nobel Prize in 1965.
What you may not know is that Feynman shared that Nobel Prize with Sin-Itiro Tomonaga, a Japanese physicist who looked just like Feynman. Weird, huh?
No word on whether Tomonaga played the bongos.
