About this listen
The outcome is these six additional lectures, drawn from the celebrated three-volume Lectures on Physics. Though slightly more challenging than the first six, these lectures are more focused, delving into the most revolutionary discovery in 20-century physics: Einstein's Theory of Relativity. No single breakthrough in 20-century physics (with the possible exception of quantum mechanics) changed our view of the world more than that of Einstein's discovery of relativity. The notions that the flow of time is not a constant, that the mass of an object depends on its velocity, and that the speed of light is a constant no matter what the motion of the observer, at first seemed shocking to scientists and laymen alike.
But, as Feynman shows so clearly and so entertainingly in the lectures chosen for this volume, these crazy notions are no mere dry principles of physics, but are things of beauty and elegance. No one, not even Einstein himself, explained these difficult, anti-intuitive concepts more clearly, or with more verve and gusto, than Richard Feynman.
Don't miss any of Richard P. Feynman's engaging physics lectures.©1963, 1989, 1997 The California Institute of Technology (P)2005 Perseus PublishingListeners also enjoyed...

Ridiculously informative but not one for the layma
Six Not-So-Easy Piece by Richard P. Feynman. The best place to learn about science is in the classroom. Even better is to learn it directly from source: in this case the lecturer himself #RichardFeynman. The book was very informative but bamboozling at times 📚5/5 🌟 #BookReview

You need to be able to see the blackboard
The audio of lecture that relies heavily on a blackboard for about half of the meaning.
Very disappointing and a waste of a credit.
