Descrição do Produto

Collecting legendary lectures from freewheeling scientific genius Richard P. Feynman, The Character of Physical Law is the perfect example of his gift for making complex subjects accessible and entertaining

A series of classic lectures, delivered in 1960 and recorded for the BBC. This is Feynman''s unique take on the problems and puzzles that lie at the heart of physical theory - with Newton''s Law of Gravitation; on whether time can ever go backwards; on maths as the supreme language of nature. Demonstrates Feynman''s knack of finding the right everyday illustration to bring out the essence of a complicated principle - eg brilliant analogy between the law of conservation energy and the problem of drying yourself with wet towels.

''Feynman''s style inspired a generation of scientists. This volume remains the best record I know of his exhilarating vision'' Paul Davies
