Feynman Simplified gives mere mortals access to the fabled Feynman Lectures on Physics.As a Caltech undergraduate, I had the amazing opportunity to learn physics directly from the greatest scientist of our age. I absorbed all I could. His style and enthusiasm were as important as the facts and equations.Feynman’s mantra seemed to be: No Einstein Left Behind. He sought to inspire “the more advanced and excited student”, perhaps10% of the class. My goal is to reach the other ...

A masterly overview of the development of cosmological thinking from the Greeks, via Newton and Einstein, to the present day.It is science's last and greatest challenge: fathoming the depths of the night sky. The objective: to crack the cosmic code, to unravel the blueprint for nature's grandest conception, a machine constructed on an unimaginably vast scale - the Universe itself.Today's model of an expanding Universe - the big bang cosmology - is actually ...
