Richard P. Feynman was raised in Far Rockaway, New York, and received his Ph.D. from Princeton. He held professorships at both Cornell and the California Institute of Technology. In 1965 he received the Nobel Prize for his work on quantum electrodynamics. He died in 1988.
No twentieth-century American scientist is better known to a wider spectrum of people than Richard P. Feynman (1918–1988)—physicist, teacher, author, and cultural icon. His autobiographies and biographies have been read and enjoyed by millions of readers around the world, while his wit and eccentricities have made him the subject of TV specials and even a theatrical film. The spectacular reception of the book and audio versions of Feynman’s Six Easy Pieces (published in 1995) resulted in a worldwide clamor for “More Feynman! More Feynman!” The outcome is these six additional lectures, drawn from the celebrated three-volume Lectures on Physics. Though slightly more challenging than the first six, these lectures are more focused, delving into the most revolutionary discovery in twentieth-century physics: Einstein’s Theory of Relativity. No single breakthrough in twentieth-century physics (with the possible exception of quantum mechanics) changed our view of the world more than that of Einstein’s discovery of relativity. The notions that the flow of time is not a constant, that the mass of an object depends on its velocity, and that the speed of light is a constant no matter what the motion of the observer, at first seemed shocking to scientists and laymen alike. But, as Feynman shows so clearly and so entertainingly in the lectures chosen for this volume, these crazy notions are no mere dry principles of physics, but are things of beauty and elegance. No one—not even Einstein himself—explained these difficult, anti-intuitive concepts more clearly, or with more verve and gusto, than Richard Feynman.

“當我們觀察一個物體時,有一個顯而易見的性質,可稱之為‘視寬度’,還有一個性質,可以稱之為‘深度’。但是,寬度和深度這兩個概念並不是物體的基本性質,因為,如果我們走到一旁,從一個不同的角度觀察同一個物體,就會得到不同的寬度和不同的深度,而且,我們可以導齣一...
評分這本書很棒,我是學工程的,但不是物理專業的。很小就看瞭三聯版的《彆鬧瞭,費曼先生》,為他不拘一格、特立獨行的為人,&字裏行間流露的真正的科學精神打動。 現在看他的這一本講相對論的書,感覺真正的科學傢是憑直覺開路,摸索前進的,建立完整、前後統一的數學體...

評分某一天,我的一個研究生同學,曾經跟我說,她想到瞭比光速還快的辦法。 “我隻要站在一颱嚮前運動的扶梯上,然後打開手電筒,那麼手電筒發射齣的光的速度再加上扶梯嚮前的速度,就肯定比光還快瞭。” 我個人覺得她的觀點肯定是錯的,但當時我也不知道她到底錯在哪裏瞭。 現在讀...
