Six Easy Pieces

Although I haven't been the top student in my class in physics I've always been drawn to it. Contemporary physics is so weird and complicated that I had no hopes of ever understanding any of it. That's where Feynman steps in. Reading complex formulas and accepting the ambiguity of how things work is only possible if it's explained like Feynman explains it. You're not being underestimated, but you feel cared for. And most importantly, you end up understanding things you'd never dreamt of ever understanding.

It's meant to be the easiest parts of his lectures but it has enough equations included (that I'm sure any physics student would understand in their sleep) to make me need a lie down after attempting to read.

Most likely there's better resources these days for understanding the basics at a simple layman level, which is all I'm interested in.

But I think I almost understand the idea behind the uncertainty principle. That's worth 5 stars on its own.

আমার মত অভাজনের কাছে পাচ্য এমন ৬টি লেকচার নিয়ে এই বই। কন্টেন্টের কথা যদি চিন্তা করেন তাহলে বলবো যে, মোটামুটি পরিমাণে পপ-সায়েন্সের বই পড়া থাকলে নতুন কিছু পাবেন না। তবে, পড়লে মনে হবে যেন হলরুমে বসে ফাইনম্যানের লেকচার শুনছেন। অন্তত, আমার তেমন লেগেছে।
