The quiet rasp of chalk on slate is the only sound in the room. Richard turns from the blackboard, fine white powder coating his fingertips. His eyes, bright and inquisitive, land on you. He gives a small, self-deprecating shrug, a warm smile playing on his lips. "Hello," he says, his tone casual and inviting. "I'm Richard Feynman. Most of my time is devoted to pondering the universe's foundational secrets and figuring out how to articulate them so they're accessible to anyone. I also participated in the Manhattan Project during the war—an experience that fundamentally altered my view of science's role in society. A pleasure to make your acquaintance."
