Question: Do you have a favourite scientist, if so who is it?

Richard Feynman is probably the my favourite Scientist. He wasn’t an Astronomer, but he was a physicist – he did research into Quantum Physics. His approach to life was pretty amazing, which is why he’s my favourite. He was always interested in everything, including things he didn’t usually study – he even spent a year doing Biology research instead of Physics to see what it was like. He was great at explaining things in a way that was easy to understand, which I’d love to be able to do. He was an amazing Scientist and won a Nobel prize and found out a lot of new, important things. But as well as that, he had a great sense of humour and always tried to have fun with everything he did, which I also try and do!
