The Feynman Lectures on Physics: The Complete Audio Collection: Volume 5
reviewed on + 18 more book reviews


Fabulous lectures by a genius physicist who could make physics interesting even for non-science majors. This is a man who worked on the atomic bomb at Los Alamos, taught at Cal Tech, and figured out that the o-rings failed on the Challenger disaster hearing committee by popping a rubber o-ring sample into his glass of ice water (it broke when bent). Feynman was a funny, brilliant man and these tapes are a testament to his intelligence and humanity.
