This book explores the combination of relativity and quantum mechanics, two of the most important conceptual breakthroughs in twentieth century physics. Through lectures by Richard Feynman and Steven Weinberg, it examines the fundamental problems of physics and the current state of our knowledge, including the nature of antiparticles and the relationship between quantum spin and statistics. Aimed at non-specialists and students, this book offers an accessible and stimulating view of the development of modern physics.
Richard Phillips Feynman was an American theoretical physicist. He shared the 1965 Nobel Prize in Physics with Julian Schwinger and Shin'ichirō Tomonaga "for their fundamental work in quantum electrodynamics (QED), with deep-ploughing consequences for the physics of elementary particles". He is also known for his work in the path integral formulation of quantum mechanics, the theory of the physics of the superfluidity of supercooled liquid helium, and the parton model. Feynman developed a pictorial representation scheme for the mathematical expressions describing the behavior of subatomic particles, which later became known as Feynman diagrams and remains widely used.
