Queste sono le prime lezioni di Feynman - saranno seguite da "Sei pezzi meno facili" - e partono da zero. Si dice di cos'è fatta la materia, atomi in moto, che sotto la materia c'è dell'altro, il mondo quantistico e i suoi paradossi. L'autore riesce a dare il senso dell'evolversi della fisica nel secolo appena trascorso, mettendone in luce il legame con le altre scienze. Ad ogni lettura cade una buccia della magica cipolla e si apre un nuovo affascinante scenario.

I bought this book as a refresher on topics I learned years ago for a state exam on Physics. Unfortunately, I think videos would be much better than this book for learning physics or as 'refresher courses'.

My biggest problem with the book is that for me it just didn't work. The chapters are lessons Feynman taught as a professor but I think that's where the should have stayed at, being recorded as lectures. The explanations would probably work as a lecture, but in the book I felt like they were taking too long to get to the point. I get the point some of these explanations are trying to make, there is a lot of 'building up the logic behind the experiments.' For example, the final chapter Quantum Physics explains and builds the logic of the uncertainty principle through three double-slit experiments. First using bullets, then waves of water, …

This was a really great and quick read. The explanations and analogies were great. It touched on a lot of topics that I knew, but before this book I never truly understood. My favorite example is Heisenberg's uncertainty principle. It's something I was aware of and memorized in school, but now I feel like I understand it (to the extent it can actually be understood!) much better.
