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.

Feynman's contributions to twentieth-century physics, but few realize how engaged he was with the world around him -- how deeply and thoughtfully he considered the religious, political, and social issues of his day. Now, a wonderful book -- based on a previously unpublished, three-part public lecture he gave at the University of Washington in 1963 -- shows us this other side of Feynman, as he expounds on the inherent conflict between science and religion, people's distrust of politicians, and our universal fascination with flying saucers, faith healing, and mental telepathy. Here we see Feynman in top form: nearly bursting into a Navajo war chant, then pressing for an overhaul of the English language (if you want to know why Johnny can't read, just look at the spelling of \"friend\"); and, finally, ruminating on the death of his first wife from tuberculosis. This is quintessential Feynman -- reflective, amusing, and ever enlightening.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56311766647157,"sku":"9780465023943","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9780465023943_0c1e9161-e7c5-40eb-84bb-701db06c1813.jpg?v=1786013810"},{"product_id":"the-feynman-lectures-on-physics-vol-iii","title":"The Feynman Lectures on Physics, Vol. III","description":"\"The whole thing was basically an experiment,\" Richard Feynman said late in his career, looking back on the origins of his lectures.
