The whole thing was basically an experiment Richard Feynman said late in his career looking
back on the origins of his lectures. The experiment turned out to be hugely successful
spawning publications that have remained definitive and introductory to physics for decades.
Ranging from the basic principles of Newtonian physics through such formidable theories as
general relativity and quantum mechanics Feynman's lectures stand as a monument of clear
exposition and deep insight. Timeless and collectible the lectures are essential reading not
just for students of physics but for anyone seeking an introduction to the field from the
inimitable Feynman.
