Six Easy Pieces: Essentials of Physics By Its Most Brilliant Teacher by Richard P. Feynman
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
The audio on this first of these half-dozen historical physicals lectures is almost, but not quite, too poor to listen to. Soldier on, the rest is quite good and marked by Feynman's exuberant elucidations on the failings of classical mechanics and the explanatory powers of quantum mechanics. Highlights include, all of which really need video to get the chalkboard activity, why perpetual motion cannot exist, Heisenberg uncertainty, and the double-slit experiment.
