Hellow.

I would like to present the list of reasons to a claim I made in the Past. The Claim was

"...The GOAT is always Feynman". The reasons for that claim where mainly on the person character, which truly differentiate him:

1. He is the Only one to cover modern undergrad Material in Top Notch level. Three Spec. Volumes.

2. He Spoke to all people from all classes, in a language that they could understand. Not a bit of condescending.

3. He took the complicated and made series reductions in simplicity, several times in several domains. Julian S. once said: "He brought QFT to the masses". and QFT is notoriously hard.

4. He educated the Public on the scientific mindset in his popular books.

5. He was Fearless. He spoke his mind. When He saw a bad idea, He called it as is. Physics was first for him, Relationships second. Not many people are like that today, I feel.

6. He dominated several domains at once, from Particles to liquid Helium, the latter outside of his field expertise.

7. He inspired many of the new generation superstars across many fields.

8. His Vision was accurate decades before actual developments. He really saw Applications. No one today can call what will happen in the next 5 years technology wise.
