Yep, I like Feynman too, very funny writer. But as you've baggsied him I am torn between John Gribbin (for confusing me about that bloody cat in the box) and Dorothy Hodgkin -she is a great hero to my daughter.
Feynman is not my favourite physicist by any means, but along with James Dean and Sir Eric Goodness, he's certainly one of my top five bongo players...
Not a physicist per se but Andy Tolputt, one of my physics teachers. His class was the only one where the naughty boys sat at the front. After a couple of terms he was sent back to teacher school and came back a different man. He gave up and joined in. Rrrespec'
I am a GP
Married with 2 kids.
I live in an isolated, culturally backward part of the country.
I am a recent convert to cyberspace thanks (mainly) to Green Wing.The picture is not me by the way but probably what you all think lady doctors look like.

Hubyb - Czech physicist. First to propose the theory that two objects in motion were a damn site more interesting than any physics theorem.

I thought I knew this, but it seems I don't.
Hang on, is it Freeman Dyson?
Freeman Dyson wrote about Dick Feynman in Disturbing the Universe i think. He was quite good too.
I don't have a favorite Physicist.
