Six Not-so-easy Pieces: Lectures On Symmetry, Relativity, And Space-time by Richard P. Feynman
kauther's review against another edition
5.0
This is a very entertaining book by an amazing teacher. As a Physics student, reading this book gave me a great advantage while taking courses on modern Physics. The book is a series of lectures intended for second-year Physics students at Caltech, so do not despair if you cannot grasp every single idea in the book. I highly recommend reading it after reading Six Easy Pieces.

Richard Feynman was a brilliant, creative teacher. In this volume he tackles some of the trickier subjects in physics. He starts slowly, even simplistically with a discussion of symmetry and builds one upon the other taking the reader through some relativistic topics and finally concluding with a fantastic description of space-time geometry. In a few short lessons, he showed me what had taken months at university to understand. I wish there were more teachers like him today.

more mathy, but still some cool concepts in here, particularly around space-time and the speed of light
