In this book, Richard Feynman, Nobel Prize winner in Physics, raises fundamental questions about science, religion, and irrational beliefs. Based on the famous lectures he gave at the University of Washington, Feynman explores certainty and uncertainty in science, the conflict between science and religion, and the causes of distrust towards politicians. With his clear and accessible style, Feynman invites reflection on the role of science in society and the importance of critical thinking.
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.
