Review #506 - Dated: 7th of November, 2004
Author: Tucker |
OK, this book is not for Joe Public. If you don't know who Richard P Feynman was, you should not consider reading this book. The foreword is daunting enough, but the body of the book is truely ultra-highbrow.
As the man who has been creditted with rewriting the theory of Quantum Electrodynamics, Richard Feynman is truely the genius of our modern age. From humble beginnings to greatness, through the sheer power of his intellect, Feynman created a new lens with which to study the universe, a lens of numbers, dimensions and fundamental particles.
His method of taking these esoteric subjects and understanding them so totally that he can explain them in (relatively) simple terms, is just astounding. Feynman can take some of the most brain-bending science and convert it into something anyone with a reasonable elementary science grounding can grasp.
Overall, I was entranced. This is astounding stuff, worthy of a read indeed. Again, it's not for the Average Joe, it's a book for those with a passion for physical science in it's wonderous diversity. Simply put, I just loved it. :)
