Feynman Lectures on Gravitation

Über diesen Titel

Reseña del editor

In recent years Feynman's work on gravitation has become increasingly influential. These lectures are based on a course Feynman taught at Caltech during 1962-3. They present his insights into gravity and its application to cosmology, superstars, wormholes and gravitational waves. The lectures also contain a number of fascinating digressions on the foundations of physics and other issues.
