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 Not-So-Easy Pieces, taken from these
famous Lectures on Physics, Feynman delves into one of the most
revolutionary discoveries in twentieth-century 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,
anti-intuitive concepts more clearly, or with more verve and gusto,
than Feynman. Filled with wonderful examples and clever
illustrations, Six Not-So-Easy 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." -Washington Post Book
