Qed: The Strange Theory of Light and Matter (With a New Introduction by A.) | Richard P Feynman

3 posts | 7 read | 1 reading | 10 to read

Celebrated for his brilliantly quirky insights into the physical world, Nobel laureate Richard Feynman also possessed an extraordinary talent for explaining difficult concepts to the general public. Here Feynman provides a classic and definitive introduction to QED (namely, quantum electrodynamics), that part of quantum field theory describing the interactions of light with charged particles. Using everyday language, spatial concepts, visualizations, and his renowned "Feynman diagrams" instead of advanced mathematics, Feynman clearly and humorously communicates both the substance and spirit of QED to the layperson. A. Zee's introduction places Feynman's book and his seminal contribution to QED in historical context and further highlights Feynman's uniquely appealing and illuminating style.

QED: The Strange Theory of Light and Matter | Richard Phillips Feynman, A. Zee

Some light physics reading by Richard Feynman. Quantum physics has been one of my favorite topics recently because it's so difficult to wrap my head around.

Qed: The Strange Theory Of Light And Matter | R. Feynman

Apparently this Nobel laureate is gifted at explaining these theories to non-scientists. That definitely includes me. I cannot grasp that light moves. Why is it moving? and where is it going? This man would need to be a teaching genius to get me to grasp even the basics of quantum electrodynamics.

Cinfhen Cool graphics!! But topic seems wayyyyyy over my head 😂😂 6y

MayJasper Yes me too @Cinfhen 😕 😊 6y

TheKidUpstairs If he can make the science accessible, that would be super interesting, but it would have to be pretty dumbed down for me! 6y

Hamlet I loved this book! It‘s hard, but worth the effort. Einstein‘s slim book “Relativity” is another good one of this sort: trying to make really complex ideas accessible to regular readers. 5y

MayJasper Thanks a lot @Hamlet might well give it a go 5y
