About this product

Product Information

In QED- The Strange Theory of Light and Matter Richard P. Feynman explains, in his lucid and witty style, the revolutionary scientific theory that won him the Nobel Prize. Quantum electrodynamics - or QED for short - is the theory that explains how light and electrons interact, and in doing so illuminates the deepest and most complex mysteries of the world around us. Thanks to Richard Feynman and his colleagues, who won the Nobel Prize for their groundbreaking work in this area, it is also one of the rare parts of physics that is known for sure - a theory that has stood the test of time. In these entertaining lectures Feynman uses clear everyday examples to provide the definitive introduction to QED. 'The perfect example of scientific genius' Independent 'If you don't believe Nature is absurd, let chatty Professor Feynman convince you in his series of exceedingly reader-friendly lectures ... Full of witty one-liners, with its learning lightly worn, it's a book to enlighten' Mail on Sunday 'Does a marvelous job of explaining one of twentieth-century physics' few unqualified triumphs' The New York Times Richard P. Feynman (1918-1988) was one of this century's most brilliant theoretical physicists and original thinkers. Feynman's other books, also available in Penguin, include QED, Six Easy Pieces, Six Not-so-Easy Pieces, Don't You Have Time to Think, The Pleasure of Finding Things Out, What Do You Care What Other People Think? and The Meaning of it All.

  • A very enlightening book.

    Feynman at his best. The book explains how light takes a path based on all the possible routes open to it, but being individual photons can only take a single route. He explains mirror action, lenses, mirages, diffraction gratings and some other optical phenomena in terms of the single photon/multiple path concept. He then goes on to compare photon behaviour with that of electrons, explaining en route the possibility clouds that quantum physics uses to represent electrons in an atom as well as why two electrons cannot have the same spin in the same band (their possibility sets would cancel each other out, just as light waves appear to do on some paths. Finally, he introduces a range of subatomic particles and their characteristics, but only addresses this subject in a very general way.
