How do you pronounce Richard Feyman's last name? |
Sorry for the silly question, but I have long had a lay interest in physics
and as such I have read quite a bit about and from Richard Feynman. But
since my only contact with the subject of physics has been what I have
read, I have only heard his name pronounced a few times, always by other
people like me without a solid physics education, and the pronunciation has
been different.
So, what is the proper pronunciation of this great scientist's name?

"eyn" like in "I know" without the "ow".
Put an "F" in front and a "man" behind.
