@virogo I know I will never be able to play golf or manage the math needed to understand quantum chromodynamics. I’m irked about equally by these personal shortcomings. But I do own a Folio Soc. (!) editon of Feynman’s Six Easy Pieces and Six Not-So-Easy Pieces (with an intro by Roger Penrose) that are basically selections from the Leighton/Sands transcripts. I managed the first half without too much trouble...
@pwgallagher Wow, that's so cool! The edition looks really great! Also, I am still studying math stuff and oh man, they really are a pain in the ass ;)
@virogo How does it compare to other books written by ... what I don't want to sound like a Broken Quantum record ... popular scientists.
@LWFlouisa I found them better than other popular books. This lectures are not hard to follow, I found them clear but precise!
@virogo very good books indeed. As are Feynman's less serious books/ lectures. The character of physical law is a great read.
@virogo I second that. The Feynman lectures cant be beat! #physics
