Beschreibung

<p>Like the "funny, brilliant, bawdy" (<em>The New Yorker</em>) <em>"Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman!"</em> this book's many stories-some funny, others intensely moving-display Richard P. Feynman's unquenchable thirst for adventure and unparalleled ability to recount important moments from his life.</p><p>Here we meet Feynman's first wife, Arlene, who taught him of love's irreducible mystery as she lay dying in a hospital bed while he worked on the atomic bomb at nearby Los Alamos. We listen to the fascinating narrative of the investigation into the space shuttle <em>Challenger</em>'s explosion in 1986 and relive the moment when Feynman revealed the disaster's cause through an elegant experiment: dropping a ring of rubber into a glass of cold water and pulling it out, misshapen. In <em>"What Do You Care What Other People Think?"</em> one of the greatest physicists of the twentieth century lets us see the man behind the genius.</p>
