Learn about Einstein's theory of relativity from a physics Nobel laureate and 'one of the greatest minds of the twentieth century' (New York Review of Books) in six memorable lessons It was Richard Feynman's outrageous and scintillating method of teaching that earned him legendary status among students and professors of physics. From 1961 to 1963, Feynman delivered a series of lectures at the California Institute of Technology that revolutionized the teaching of physics. In Six NotSoEasy Pieces, taken from these famous Lectures on Physics, Feynman delves into one of the most revolutionary discoveries in twentiethcentury physics: Einstein's theory of relativity. The idea 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, these tricky ideas are not merely dry principles of physics, but things of beauty and elegance.No one not even Einstein himself explained these difficult, antiintuitive concepts more clearly, or with more verve and gusto, than Feynman. Filled with wonderful examples and clever illustrations, Six NotSoEasy Pieces is the ideal introduction to the fundamentals of physics by one of the most admired and accessible physicists of all time.There is no better explanation for the scientifically literate layman.
