Sei pezzi meno facili

I've been binge-studying lately. You know, lose-your-sleep-over-it-and-forget-to-eat kind of binge-studying. I barely even remember that I have a phone anymore because I make sure to keep it out of sight. I'd love to say it's because I'm passionate about physics and that the muses smiled upon me and Leggi tutto

Feynman is, as ever, utterly ingenious in his ease of explication here, especially given that the concepts covered in this volume are more advanced than those covered in the previous one, “Six Easy Pieces” (as cheekily indicated by the title, “Six Not-So-Easy Pieces”) In this collection of transcribe Leggi tutto

All of our ideas in physics require a certain amount of common sense in their application; they are not purely mathematical or abstract ideas. It is difficult to review these books, as their titles are so descriptive. This book, as well as its companion, Six Easy Pieces , is a book that can judged

Learn Relativity from the maestro Richard Feynman himself In the introduction to this book, Roger Penrose, another great theoretical physicist of our times, states that "Relativity is not airy-fairy philosophy, nor is space-time mere mathematical formalism. It is a foundational ingredient of the very Leggi tutto

Kendisi de ünlü bir fizikçi olan Feynman tarafından kaleme alınmış bu kitap, Einstein'ın Görelilik Kuramı'nı ve onunla ilişkilendirilebilecek diğer kavramları anlaşılır kılmayı amaçlıyor. Kütleçekim, uzayzaman, yüksek hızlarda hareket gibi kavramlar pek çok açıdan insan algısının sınırlarını zorlaya Leggi tutto

C'è chi ha il dono di rendere facili anche le cose più difficili. Chi è capace di trasmettere poesia tramite le formule di trasformazione. Feynman è capace di tutto questo e anche di più. Un saggio da non perdere se si può contare su solide basi matematiche e fisiche.

Six not-so-easy introduces 6 topics, each one building on-top of the last, culminating in the final topic of the geometry of spacetime. Discussion includes just enough math as to pass on a real understanding without being overwhelming to someone without much of a background in physics, and to allow
