Monday Blues
Nov. 26th, 2018 11:03 amA dull overcast rainy day and I have to go to Maidstone - think I have moved the job as far as I can and I dare not tell them to move the date again. I think every day will be rain soaked till Friday - so it does not matter much when it is done and that I have other work elsewhere too before the end of the month. Stop moaning Dave, put that book down, and get your ass out there!
Book 86 - Richard P. Feynman "Q.E.D"
Nov. 26th, 2018 10:23 pmRichard P. Feynman "Q.E.D: The Strange Theory of Light and Matter" (Penguin Science)
A master of his craft with a quirky and infectious enthusiasm for his material puts his forbidding intellect to work to try to explain one of the greatest theories in modern physics to the layperson.
A tremendous achievement which combines an honest wish not to miss any of the best bits out just because they are complicated with a humility about just how much is still unknown.
Jaw dropping comments about light reflecting from mirrors? Yes indeed.
This book is based on four lectures covering light and electrons.
The actual lectures can be found on the web.
A thin book best savoured a bit at a time to allow your brain chance to recover in between sessions. Feynman was the best author in the field of physics. In his easy-going, humorous style, he covers the sticky topic of Quantum ElectroDynamics hence the title of the book and a bit of wordplay, Quod Erat Demonstratum.
