Abstract
This article presents the essays of the special edition of the Revista Brasileira de Ensino de Física, celebrating the centenary of Richard P. Feynman's birth. From a personal testimony of his discovery of Feynman, the author seeks to complement, with few historical remarks, the articles of the invited Brazilian researchers, which reflect their views on physics and physics teaching, to which Feynman contributed decisively.
