The Character of Physical Law
(Author) Richard P FeynmanBased on the Messenger Lectures, given by the Nobel Prize-winner Feynman at Cornell and filmed by the BBC, this book explores the nature of the laws of physics (in particular, those of Newton, Maxwell and Einstein) and their relationship to mathematical formulation. Why does nature seem subject to simple mathematical laws, to what extent are there laws inherent in nature itself, and to what extent are they human creations, effective in predicting results but no more real than a work of art? - these are a few of the theoretical questions addressed in a rich and accessible book that sums up the essential scientific quest.
Richard P Feynman
Richard P. Feynman was a brilliant physicist known for his work in quantum mechanics. His most famous work, the Feynman diagrams, revolutionized the field of particle physics. Feynman was also a captivating storyteller, as seen in his popular books like "Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman!" which showcased his wit and humor.
