El placer de descubrir

Autor: Editorial Planeta S.a.u.

Número de Páginas: 345

El placer de descubrir permite acceder al mundo personal, social y cientíco de Richard Feynman, por ejemplo, a sus aventuras mientras participó en el Proyecto Manhattan, cuando se divertía —y escandalizaba— descifrando las claves de cajas fuertes, o a cómo se inició, siendo un niño, en el estudio de la naturaleza (en el «placer de descubrir»), que terminaría ocupando toda su vida. Podemos, asimismo, conocer sus pioneras ideas sobre las computadoras del futuro, su opinión acerca del valor de la ciencia o la explicación, tan sencilla como profunda, que dio al desastre de la lanzadera espacial Challenger. Es este, sin duda, un libro tan fascinante como su autor.

Perfectly Reasonable Deviations from the Beaten Track

Autor: Richard P. Feynman

Número de Páginas: 512

"I'm an explorer, OK? I like to find out!" -- One of the towering figures of twentieth-century science, Richard Feynman possessed a curiosity that was the stuff of legend. Even before he won the Nobel Prize in 1965, his unorthodox and spellbinding lectures on physics secured his reputation amongst students and seekers around the world. It was his outsized love for life, however, that earned him the status of an American cultural icon-here was an extraordinary intellect devoted to the proposition that the thrill of discovery was matched only by the joy of communicating it to others. In this career-spanning collection of letters, many published here for the first time, we are able to see this side of Feynman like never before. Beginning with a short note home in his first days as a graduate student, and ending with a letter to a stranger seeking his advice decades later, Perfectly Reasonable Deviations from the Beaten Track covers a dazzling array of topics and themes, scientific developments and personal histories. With missives to and from scientific luminaries, as well as letters to and from fans, family, students, crackpots, as well as everyday people eager for Feynman's wisdom...

El carácter de la ley física

Autor: Richard Phillips Feynman

Número de Páginas: 0

La naturaleza es simple y, por eso mismo, de una gran belleza, nos enseña Richard P. Feynman en este libro. Y esa belleza y simplicidad es la que debe recoger todo científico que aspire a sintetizar sus principales leyes en formulaciones matemáticas. Elegancia y sencillez también es lo que el lector encontrará en estas páginas insuperables, en las que Feynman nos acerca a algunos aspectos fundamentales de la física: desde la ley de la gravedad y los grandes descubrimientos de Newton, Maxwell y Einstein, hasta nociones tan importantes como el principio subyacente de conservación y simetría, el carácter irreversible del tiempo o el predominio de la probabilidad e incertidumbre en la mecánica cuántica. La imaginación y brillantez del autor, que no renuncia al rigor, hacen de este libro una introducción entusiasta, amena y de gran valor didáctico, no sólo a las principales leyes físicas que rigen el universo, sino a las claves del propio quehacer científico. Los siete capítulos de El carácter de la ley física recogen las legendarias Messenger Lectures pronunciadas por Richard Feynman en la Universidad de Cornell (Estados Unidos) en noviembre de 1964, un año antes ...

Seis piezas fáciles

Autor: Editorial Planeta S.a.u.

Número de Páginas: 207

Richard P. Feynman, premio Nobel de Física, no fue tan sólo un gran investigador, sino también un extraordinario maestro y un hombre de personalidad poderosa: una leyenda, a la manera de Einstein, para el gran público y «un genio», como dice el título de la biografía que le dedicó James Gleick, para sus colegas. Este libro, que reúne las partes menos técnicas de un curso introductorio para los estudiantes del Instituto Tecnológico de California, sirve a la vez como una introducción a la física para los no científicos y como una introducción al propio Feynman. Como ha dicho uno de los grandes científicos actuales, John Gribbin, «si hubiese que escoger un solo libro para pasarlo a la próxima generación de científicos, éste tendría que ser, sin duda alguna, Seis piezas fáciles».

Six Not-So-Easy Pieces

Autor: Richard P. Feynman , Robert B. Leighton , Matthew Sands

Número de Páginas: 184

No twentieth-century American scientist is better known to a wider spectrum of people than Richard P. Feynman (1918-1988) -- physicist, teacher, author, and cultural icon. His autobiographies and biographies have been read and enjoyed by millions of readers around the world, while his wit and eccentricities have made him the subject of TV specials and even a theatrical film. The spectacular reception of the book and audio versions of Feynman's Six Easy Pieces (published in 1995) resulted in a worldwide clamor for "More Feynman! More Feynman!" The outcome is these six additional lectures, drawn from the celebrated three-volume Lectures on Physics. Though slightly more challenging than the first six, these lectures are more focused, delving into the most revolutionary discovery in twentieth-century physics: Einstein's Theory of Relativity. No single breakthrough in twentieth-century physics (with the possible exception of quantum mechanics) changed our view of the world more than that of Einstein's discovery of relativity. The notions that the flow of time is not a constant, that the mass of an object depends on its velocity, and that the speed of light is a constant no matter what...

"What Do You Care What Other People Think?": Further Adventures of a Curious Character

Autor: Richard P. Feynman

Número de Páginas: 345

The New York Times best-selling sequel to "Surely You’re Joking, Mr. Feynman!" One of the greatest physicists of the twentieth century, Richard Feynman possessed an unquenchable thirst for adventure and an unparalleled ability to tell the stories of his life. "What Do You Care What Other People Think?" is Feynman’s last literary legacy, prepared with his friend and fellow drummer, Ralph Leighton. Among its many tales—some funny, others intensely moving—we meet Feynman’s first wife, Arlene, who taught him of love’s irreducible mystery as she lay dying in a hospital bed while he worked nearby on the atomic bomb at Los Alamos. We are also given a fascinating narrative of the investigation of the space shuttle Challenger’s explosion in 1986, and we relive the moment when Feynman revealed the disaster’s cause by an elegant experiment: dropping a ring of rubber into a glass of cold water and pulling it out, misshapen.

The Character of Physical Law

Autor: Richard P Feynman

Número de Páginas: 192

A series of classic lectures, delivered in 1960 and recorded for the BBC. This is Feynman's unique take on the problems and puzzles that lie at the heart of physical theory - with Newton's Law of Gravitation; on whether time can ever go backwards; on maths as the supreme language of nature. Demonstrates Feynman's knack of finding the right everyday illustration to bring out the essence of a complicated principle - eg brilliant analogy between the law of conservation energy and the problem of drying yourself with wet towels. 'Feynman's style inspired a generation of scientists. This volume remains the best record I know of his exhilarating vision' - Paul Davies

QED

Autor: Richard P. Feynman

Número de Páginas: 192

Celebrated for his brilliantly quirky insights into the physical world, Nobel laureate Richard Feynman also possessed an extraordinary talent for explaining difficult concepts to the general public. Here Feynman provides a classic and definitive introduction to QED (namely, quantum electrodynamics), that part of quantum field theory describing the interactions of light with charged particles. Using everyday language, spatial concepts, visualizations, and his renowned "Feynman diagrams" instead of advanced mathematics, Feynman clearly and humorously communicates both the substance and spirit of QED to the layperson. A. Zee's introduction places Feynman’s book and his seminal contribution to QED in historical context and further highlights Feynman’s uniquely appealing and illuminating style.

Qué significa todo eso

Autor: Richard P. Feynman

Número de Páginas: 144

Los dos aspectos de su personalidad, como científico y como ciudadano, confluyen en estas reflexiones sobre la relación de la ciencia con la política o la religión, que sorprendieron a quienes no sabían que estuviese interesado por el significado de «todo eso». En este libro extraordinario se publican por primera vez las famosas conferencias que dio enla Universidadde Washington, en las que habló de certeza e incertidumbre en la ciencia, del conflicto entre ciencia y religión, de las causas de la desconfianza general hacia los políticos, o de las creencias irracionales que han invadido esta era «acientífica», desde la fascinación por los ovnis hasta la fe en las curaciones milagrosas, pasando por la astrología y la telepatía, sin olvidar los constantes insultos a la inteligencia humana que se hacen cotidianamente a través de la publicidad. Este libro es, como dice su editor norteamericano, «oro puro, pura poesía, puro Feynman».

El descenso de Orfeo

Autor: Richard Phillips Feynman

Número de Páginas: 240

La electrodinámica cuántica es una de las teorías físicas más precisas, pero también más complicadas. En este libro, Richard P. Feynman (1918-1988) presenta esa teoría con la claridad, la precisión y la exhaustividad que le hicieron famoso. Suponiendo escasos conocimientos científicos en los lectores y profundizando en el contenido intuitivo y visual de la teoría, Feynman describe la interacción entre luz y electrones, «absurda» desde el punto de vista del sentido común pero que se encuentra en la base de prácticamente todo lo que observamos en el mundo físico. Las páginas de "Electrodinámica cuántica" explican satisfactoriamente fenómenos tan familiares como la luz reflejándose en un espejo o curvándose cuando pasa del aire al agua. Dos aspectos de este libro serán especialmente apreciados por todos aquellos interesados en la física moderna: por un lado, la forma en que Feynman introduce sus célebres «diagramas», una herramienta absolutamente fundamental para el estudio y aplicación de la esta teoría, y por otro, su utilización de los «caminos posibles», con los que construyó su conocida interpretación de la mecánica cuántica. Prólogo de A....
