Feynman Lectures on Gravitation
Feynman Lectures on Gravitation by Richard Phillips Feynman, published by Penguin in 1999, offers an insightful exploration of gravitational physics. This first edition spans 230 pages and is presented in English. The book is based on notes from a course Feynman taught at Caltech during the 1962-63 academic year, capturing his perspectives and insights on gravitation and its applications.
Readers will find a comprehensive examination of various topics, including cosmology, superstars, wormholes, and gravitational waves, as discussed by Feynman. The lectures also feature digressions that delve into the foundations of physics and related issues, providing a broader context for understanding gravitational phenomena. This edition serves as a valuable record of Feynman’s unique viewpoint on gravitational physics during that era.
Official synopsis Publisher
The Feynman Lectures on Gravitation are based on notes prepared during a course on gravitational physics that Richard Feynman taught at Caltech during the 1962-63 academic year. For several years prior to these lectures, Feynman taught about the fundamental problems in gravitational physics, yet he published very little. These lectures represent a record of his viewpoint and some of his insights into gravitation and its application to cosmology, superstars, wormholes, and gravitational waves at that particular time. The lectures also contain a number of digressions and asides on the foundations of physics and other issues.
