Richard Feynman

Most widely known as a phycisist, Richard Feynman was a multi-talented pioneer of 20th century quantum mechanics, and as such was one of the four first known people to have a recognised Erdős-Bacon-Sabbath number.

His verified Erdős-Bacon-Sabbath number is 10. He is the only person with a verified EBS number for who none of their component numbers are the lowest amongst those with a verified EBS number. Additionally, his highest component number, 4 (his Sabbath number), is the (tied) lowest of any verified EBS number, and the only one for which it isn't his Erdős Number.
