书籍介绍
The six easiest chapters from Feynmans landmark work, Lectures on Physics specifically designed for the general, non-scientist reader.
精彩摘录
- "What keeps the electrons from simply falling in? This principle: If they were in the nucleus, we would know their position precisely, and the uncertainty principle would then require that they have a very large (but uncertain) momentum, i.e., a very large kinetic energy. With this energy they would "
- "There was an interesting early relationship between physics and biology in which biology helped physics in the discovery of the conservation of energy, which was first demonstrated by Mayer in connection with the amount of heat taken in and given out by a living creature."
- "A poet once said, “The whole universe is in a glass of wine.” We will probably never know in what sense he meant that, for poets do not write to be understood. But it is true that if we look at a glass of wine closely enough we see the entire universe."
- "In order to verify the conservation of energy, we must be careful that we have not put any in or taken any out. Second, the energy has a large number of different forms, and there is a formula for each one. These are gravitational energy, kinetic energy, heat energy, elastic energy, electrical energ"

简洁、优雅、直观的推导和阐释，点到为止的幽默感，和精确——无处不在的精确，费曼能成功点燃人们对物理的渴望和好奇心。
科学的基本是实验，科学方法是观察、理解、实验。第一篇教学典范，原子和原子的运动解释物理化学反应。收录的六篇并不连贯，但有费曼帅照！
上周看完，虽然都是基础物理知识，但确实还是不太能读进去，可能就是和基础物理无缘吧😂
费曼真的是一个好讲师。现在关于神奇的电子衍射的科普视频，都源于他书的最后一章。

Physics is my new meditation. 其实这本选的章节有点散，期待six not-so-easy pieces.
