  • 費曼的6堂Easy相對論

    Six Not-So-Easy Pieces

    Series series 科學文化
    《費曼的6堂Easy相對論》也是從《費曼物理學講義》精選出來的。它有一個跟《費曼的6堂Easy物理課》不太一樣的地方,就是《費曼的6堂Easy物理課》跨越了物理學的好幾個領域,從力學到熱力學再到原子物理。你手裡捧著的這6篇講義,則是全部圍繞著同一個焦點主題。此主題曾經引起近代物理學史上許多最革命性的發現,以及一些完全出人意表的理論。諸如從黑洞到蛀孔、從原子能到時間彎曲。我們所說的主題當然不是別個,正是相對論。不過依我們的淺見,即使偉大的相對論之父,愛因斯坦先生本人,也似乎比不上這位來自大蘋果(紐約市)的費曼先生,能夠把愛因斯坦這套理論的內外精華、有什麼妙用、以及所涉及的基本觀念,解釋得如此完美,直教人不得不擊節讚嘆。——Perseus Books 出版緣起作者簡介理查.費曼(Richard... ...

    A Very Short Introduction

    Series series Very Short Introductions
    100 years ago, Einstein's theory of relativity shattered the world of physics. Our comforting Newtonian ideas of space and time were replaced by bizarre and counterintuitive conclusions: if you move at high speed, time slows down, space squashes up and you get heavier; travel fast enough and you could weigh as much as a jumbo jet, be squashed thinner than a CD without feeling a thing - and live ...
