Answer: The answer to the question is Richard Feynman. Feynman had, on another occasion, famously said, "There are only a couple of persons that I know of, who understand Quantum Mechanics. Albert Einstein is one of them. The other is yours truly." His semi-autobiographical books include Surely You’re Joking, Mr. Feynman! and What Do You Care What Other People Think?
