QED is a seductive mix of science, human affections, moral courage and comic eccentricity... not to be missed."- John Simon, New York Magazine The play itself is a kind of proof, dramatically illustrating how a man who happens to be a genius elegantly and movingly works through the human problem of how to face the end of his life." - Nancy Franklin, The New Yorker With a moving and powerful introduction from Alan Alda. Who knew that quantum electrodynamics could make for a dramatic read? In the hands of the late, great physicist Richard Feynman, it does. Feynman's theory of QED is just one of the many topics the playwright Peter Parnell explores in this nearly-one-man show, a recent Broadway triumph for star Alan Alda as Feynman. Set in Feynman's office on the weekend of his realization that he has terminal cancer, this play is an intellectual tour-de-force that captures the unique, hilarious, and puckish genius that Feynman was. From his work on the Manhattan Project to the death of his beloved first wife, from his mission to reconstruct the Challenger space shuttle tragedy to his Nobel-prize winning physics ideas, the resume of Feynman's life is fascinating. But Parnell gives us more, letting fill in the details of his life. When he reads a letter he wrote to his wife after her death, or flirts with a student, or chillingly recalls walking around Manhattan calculating the damage an atomic bomb could do, we grow to love the man behind the scientist. And we read in fascination as he puzzles out the problem of his own death. Combining the current interest in science and math in the entertainment world with one of the most entertaining scientists in U.S. history, QED is a tour-de-force.
我一直对相对论里,光速作为一种绝对的存在这个观念很着迷,我认为它指向了宇宙的终极秘密:为何所有的space-time都是相对的,而c却是超越时空的存在? 于是《QED—光和物质的奇妙理论》这书的标题一下子就把我抓住了。 基础的量子力学框架描述的是单个粒子如何运动。但要描述...
评分光不仅有粒子性,还有波动性,因此我们将之称为光子,光代表着她的波动性,子代表着她的粒子性。因此我们可以称之为奇异物质,奇异物质没有质量,没有体积只有动量及相关量。
评分QED的科普读物,并且由QED发明人之一;物理学家中的帅哥Feynman撰写,不可不读,曾经这是唯一一本专门讲QED科普书,现在我不知道还有没有其它的这类书,如果没有,这本书仍然是这个领域的唯一一本。 BTW。网上到处流传其英文版电子书,qiji也有中文版的。 据我所知,Feynman仅...
评分想要了解什么是路径积分?害怕数学?那么这本书就绝对 是你的唯一选择了。 这是大师的一个科普讲座的演讲稿。由于其对象是对物理了解不多的人,所以没有使用数学,但是物理概念及其清晰。强力推荐!
