Discover the fascinating story behind Richard Feynman's lost lecture, where he explains the motion of planets around the sun using basic geometry concepts. This book, written by David L. Goodstein and Judith R. Goodstein, rescues Feynman's genius and his ability to make science understandable. It includes a CD with the original recording of the lecture, as well as a detailed analysis and a biography of Feynman.
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.
