		Feynman, who died at the University of California at Los Angeles Medical Center after an eight-year battle with abdominal cancer, was a popular and energetic lecturer who, despite his illness, continued to teach at the California Institute of Technology until two weeks ago.
		Feynman, who called his Nobel Prize "a pain in the neck," was "extraordinarily honest with himself and everyone else," and added that "he didn't like ceremony or pomposity.
		Feynman caused consternation in his years with the Manhattan Project, which developed the atomic bomb, by figuring out in his spare time how to pick the locks on filing cabinets that contained classified information.

	The Feynman Lectures on Physics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Feynman Lectures on Physics, by Richard Feynman, is perhaps his most accessible technical work for anyone with an interest in physics and today is considered to be the classic introduction to modern physics, including lectures on mathematics, electromagnetism, Newtonian physics, quantum physics, and even the relation of physics to other sciences.
		By 1960 Richard Feynman was already a legend in his own time; at age 42 his research and discoveries in physics had resolved a number of troubling inconsistencies in several fundamental theories.
		The Feynman Lectures on Physics (with Leighton and Sands).

		The Feynman lectures on physics are the three volume distillation of the famous lectures Feynman gave to students to Caltech students in the 1960's.
		Feynman takes great care and time in explaining difficult physical concepts to students, and unlike many scientists, does not make the lectures simply a show of his immense mathematical prowess (Feynman though was a first rank applied mathematician, who like Pascal re-invented Euclidian geometry while a teenager).
		Feynman is both the essence of clarity and he provides the tools for scientific thought about the origin of the universe.

	Richard Feynman - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Feynman was a keen and influential popularizer of physics in both his books and lectures, notably a seminal 1959 talk on top-down nanotechnology called There's Plenty of Room at the Bottom and The Feynman Lectures on Physics, a three-volume set which has become a classic text.
		Feynman gained great pleasure from coming up with such a "freshman level" explanation of the connection between spin and statistics (that groups of particles with spin 1/2 "repel", whereas groups with integer spin "clump"), a question he pondered in his own lectures and to which he demonstrated the solution in the 1986 Dirac memorial lecture.
		Feynman did not dispute the quark model; for example, when the fifth quark was discovered, Feynman immediately pointed out to his students that the discovery implied the existence of a sixth quark, which was duly discovered in the decade after his death.

	Errata for The Feynman Lectures on Physics
		This second error was pointed out to Feynman by a number of readers, including Beulah Elizabeth Cox, a student at The College of William and Mary, who had relied on Feynman’s erroneous passage in an exam.
		Cox, Feynman wrote in 1975,[1] “Your instructor was right not to give you any points, for your answer was wrong, as he demonstrated using Gauss’s law.
		Feynman was uncomfortably aware of this error, and of others.

		Feynman won his Nobel Prize for successfully resolving problems with the theory of quantum electrodynamics.
		In later years Feynman played a key role in the development of quark theory by putting forward his parton model of high energy proton collision processes.
		The Feynman Lectures on Physics, originally published in 1963, were described by a reviewer in Scientific American as "tough, but nourishing and full of flavor.

	Re: What Causes Motion?
		Both special relativity and general relativity say the laws of physics are the same in all reference frames, but special relativity makes an additional assumption which seems to follow from this but actually does not.
		This is that if the laws of physics in reference frame A are compared to those in reference frame B, then there will be a symmetrical relationship between them.
		This is true for reference frames with the same origin in space (even instantaneously) but it is not in general true for reference frames which are separate - as is evidenced for example by a Pound Rebka experiment.

	Need some help
		In the meantime, ANYONE interested in higher level Physics should read Richard Feynman's QED.
		I was hoping to find someone who is extremely good in one of these areas that would kinda take me under there wing.
		Cause where I come physics is what makes the bullet hit the duck.

		As can be seen from the reviews here, Feynman's approach appeals to many readers, but falls flat with others.
		Feynman amazes me with his clarity of thought, clear explanations, and wonderful sense of humor.

	Uncertain Principles
		What we actually teach in physics GenEd classes are more topic-specific classes: studying the physics of some specific area, such as light and vision, or sound and music (though the latter has ended up being very mathematical in its current incarnation).
		A kid with a BS in Physics minus his Physics courses is indistinguishable from a kid with a BA in Womens Lit minus his English courses, at least on paper.
		At least in physics, it is impossible to claim to have a meaningful understanding of the subject without using mathematics.

	digg - 25 Greatest Science Books of All-Time
		I'm glad Feynman made it; that guy could've been a hell of a comedian if he hadn't gone into physics.
		I would argue that mathematics is a type of science in the same way that physics or chemistry is. (I would also argue that Statistics is a branch of engineering, but that would probably not be so straightforward to justify.) In fact, I went looking through the submitted article specifically for this book.
		Feynmans Lectures on Physics, is a great book to read, or even skim through if your looking for a freshman/sophomore level book on physics as a beginners guide.

	What IS MASS? [Archive] - Advanced Physics Forums
		In relativity gravity is not the result of the poisson equation as it is in Newtonian physics which yield mass as the source, instead it is the result of Einstein\'s field equations a tensor calculus analog to the poisson equation only instead the stress-energy tensor is the source term, not the mass.
		As a result, everything that has stress-energy which is everything gravitates in general relativity, not just things with mass and likewise everything free of four-vector forces follows geodesic motion in relativity regardless of whether it has mass.
		There is a way of understanding physics that seems to open many doors; it may seem as impossible as that chocolate factory.

	Re: What Causes Motion?
		For such a fundamental thing this is a bit scary.
		Your view is very close to Feynmans when he says Newton's laws are not laws as such but 'half laws', they are a paradigm for a way of looking at mechanical problems.
		However if anyone was to come back to me and say 'this half law stuff is not the way of science, there must be something better' I say I must agree.
