«Lumière et matière» is the popular science essay by Richard P. Feynman, published by Seuil in paperback (206 pages, in French).
In this popular work, Feynman explains quantum electrodynamics, the theory describing the interaction between light and matter, without resorting to mathematical formalism: a few small arrows drawn on paper suffice to make one of the central theories of modern physics accessible.
The book belongs to the Points Sciences collection. The translation from English is by Françoise Balibar and Alain Laverne.
A popular work aimed at a general audience interested in physics, with no need for prior mathematical knowledge.
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.
