When asked to explain in a few words what he had accomplished, Feynman said, “Buddy, if I could tell you in a minute what I had done, it would not be worth the Nobel Prize.” Though not exactly it’s kind of contradictory to what he said about explaining Physics to your grandmother. He also says he wasn’t able to explain what he did to his father.
Feynman didn’t understand physics. Which isn’t particularly shameful, since no one else understands physics either.
