¿Está usted de broma Sr. Feynman?
Richard Feynman no ha sido sólo uno de los físicos teóricos más destacados del mundo sino también una personalidad insólita y genial cuyas investigaciones le valieron el Premio Nobel de Física de 1965. En su biografía y en su obra se dan cita la curiosidad irrefrenable, el escepticismo empedernido, el sentido del humor, el gusto por la travesura, la más vasta cultura y el más penetrante ingenio. Feynman es seguramente la única persona en el mundo que ha explicado física a cerebros como Einstein, Von Neumann y Pauli y que ha tocado los bongos en una compañía de ballet, que ha sido declarado deficiente mental por el ejército de Estados Unidos y que ha obtenido un Premio Nobel. "¿Está usted de broma, Sr. Feynman?" recoge las conversaciones mantenidas a lo largo de una serie de años con Ralph Leighton, quien se encargó de grabarlas y transcribirlas.

„Pan raczy żartować, panie Feynman!”. Przypadki ciekawego człowieka [wydanie 2021]
Nowe wydanie kultowej autobiografii z okazji stulecia urodzin Richarda P. Feynmana „Wymaga trochę magii, żeby nauki ścisłe wydawały się takie rozrywkowe, wciągające i proste jak u Feynmana. Niezależnie od tego, czy czytacie „Pan raczy żartować, panie Feynman!” po raz pierwszy czy piąty, mam nadzieję, że sprawi wam to nie mniejszą przyjemność niż mnie”. Bill Gates Richard P. Feynman – laureat Nagrody Nobla i jeden z najgenialniejszych fizyków w dziejach w brawurowy sposób opowiada o swoim niezwykłym życiu. Nie tylko przedstawia kulisy prac nad budową bomby atomowej i tajemnicami materii, ale też ujawnia się jako spec od otwierania zamków szyfrowych i mistrz gry na bongosach. Feynman opisuje spotkanie z Einsteinem, walki z rządową biurokracją, codzienne życie fizyków w ośrodku badawczym w Los Alamos i ich flirty z tancerkami w Las Vegas. „Pan raczy żartować, panie Feynman!” to rzecz kultowa – jedna z najsłynniejszych naukowych książek naszych czasów i jedna z najzabawniejszych autobiografii, jakie kiedykolwiek powstały.

費曼的主張
一手開創奈米時代 一腳踢爆「草包族科學」 我有一種毛病,是碰到任何神祕的東西,都想把它解開。 ──費曼 物理大師費曼有著充沛的好奇心與求真心, 他常用前所未有的手法,有效的解決物理難題。 費曼自稱,他對量子電動力學的貢獻只是在「玩」物理和數學, 儘管因此獲得諾貝爾獎,但他所獲得的最大獎品,卻是發現事理時的樂趣。 費曼認為探討任何問題時,都必須有懷疑的空間,否則不會進步。 唯有心存懷疑,才能提出問題,進而學習; 為了繼續進步,我們不能完全關死通往未知的門,必須留下一些縫隙。 他甚至說量子電動力學留下太多問題沒有回答,像是「騙局」。 許多人好奇,費曼是如何一方面做出高水準的研究工作, 一方面又保持尖銳深沉的懷疑態度?要了解所謂費曼之祕, 最好的辦法就是閱讀《費曼的主張》,因為比起其他作品, 本書更能清楚展示出他對追求知識的熱衷。 我們能在書中看到費曼的真實面貌,他看似嬉戲於不同觀念之間, 卻一直掌握三個關鍵,就是誠實、獨立思考、承認不知為不知的雅量。 此書也廣泛探討費曼深思過的許多問題。 除了物理,還包括宗教、哲學、未來的電腦、 由他開創的奈米科技、謙虛的美德、科學的趣味、科學與文明的未來…… 費曼更告訴科學界新手,如何用好奇心、開放的心靈, 以懷疑的眼光來觀察這個世界。 作者簡介 理查.費曼 1918年,費曼誕生於紐約市布魯克林區, 1942年,從普林斯頓大學取得博士學位。 第二次世界大戰期間,他曾在美國設於新墨西哥州的羅沙拉摩斯(LosAlamos)實驗室服務, 參與研發原子彈的曼哈坦計畫(ManhattanProject), 當時雖然年紀很輕,卻已經是計畫中的重要角色。 隨後,他任教於康乃爾大學以及加州理工學院。 1965年,由於費曼在量子電動力學的成就, 與朝永振一郎(Sin-ItiroTomonaga)、許溫格(JulianSchwinger)兩人, 共同獲得該年度的諾貝爾物理獎。 費曼博士為量子電動力學理論解決了不少問題, 同時他首創了一個解釋液態氦超流體現象的數學理論。 之後,他跟葛爾曼(MurrayGell-Mann)合作, 研究弱交互作用(例如貝他衰變),做了許多奠基工作。 後來數年,費曼成為發展夸克(quark)理論的關鍵人物, 提出了在高能量質子對撞過程中的成子(parton)模型。 在這些重大成就之外,費曼博士把一些基本的新計算技術跟記法, 介紹給了物理學。其中包括幾乎無所不在的費曼圖, 因而改變了基礎物理觀念化與計算的過程, 成為可能是近代科學史上,最膾炙人口的一種表述方式。 費曼是一位非常能幹有為的教育家, 在他一生所獲多得數不清的各式各樣獎賞中, 他特別珍惜1972年獲得的厄司特杏壇獎章(OerstedMedalforTeaching)。 《費曼物理學講義》一書最初發行於1963年, 當時有位《科學美國人》雜誌的書評稱該書為 「……真是難啃,但是非常營養,尤其是風味絕佳, 為二十五年來僅見!是教師及最優秀入門學生的指南。」 為了增長一般民眾的物理知識, 費曼博士寫了一本《物理之美》(TheCharacterofPhysicalLaw)以及 《量子電動力學》(Q.E.D.:TheStrangeTheoryofLightandMatter)。 他還寫下一些專精的論著, 成為後來物理學研究者與學生的標準參考資料跟教科書。 費曼是一位建設性的公眾人物。 幾乎家喻戶曉他參與「挑戰者號」太空梭失事調查工作的事跡, 尤其是他當眾證明橡皮墊圈不耐低溫的那一幕, 是一場非常優雅的即席實驗示範,而他所使用的道具不過冰水一杯! 比較鮮為人知的事例,是費曼博士於1960年代中, 在加州大學課程委員會任上所做的努力, 他非常不滿當時教科書之庸俗平凡。 僅僅重複敘說費曼一生中,於科學上與教育上的無數成就, 並不足以說明他這個人的特色。正如任何讀過他即使最技術性著作的人都知道, 他的作品裡外都散發著他鮮活跟多采多姿的個性。 在物理學家正務之餘,費曼也曾把時間花在修理收音機、 開保險櫃、畫畫、跳舞、表演森巴小鼓、甚至試圖翻譯馬雅古文明的象形文字上。 他永遠對周圍的世界感到好奇,是位一切都要積極嘗試的模範人物。 費曼於1988年2月15日在洛杉磯與世長辭。 譯者簡介 王碧 台灣大學化學系畢業,美國華盛頓大學化學碩士。 專長環境化學,曾任行政院環境保護署環境檢驗所所長。另譯有《熵的神祕國度》。 尹萍 國立政治大學新聞系畢業,淡江大學美國研究所碩士。 曾任職於《綜合月刊》、中國廣播公司、《中央日報》、 《聯合報》,後擔任《遠見雜誌》主編、天下文化出版公司主編。 專事翻譯與寫作多年,文筆誠摯優美,廣受好評。 現為自由撰稿人,旅居紐西蘭。 翻譯作品有《樂在工作》、《你快樂嗎?》、《2000年大趨勢》、 《長大的感覺真好》、《居禮夫人——寂寞而驕傲的一生》、 《你管別人怎麼想》、《山居歲月》、《海風下》、 《個人歷史》(上、下)、《偶然生為亞裔人》、 《病人狂想曲》、《重生》等多部。 著作有《發現台灣》(合著)、《海洋台灣》、《出走紐西蘭》、 《堤河邑冒險學校》(合著)、《武士家族》。 師明睿 臺灣大學化學系畢業, 美國印第安納州立普度大學(Purdue University)生物化學博士。 一九九二年回國之後,曾在衛生署預防醫學研究所、 中研院生醫所及生農所籌備處從事研究,參與台灣疫苗政策評估規劃、 日本腦炎新款疫苗研發、以及中草藥金線蓮藥理之動物研究。 暇時嘗從事自由翻譯工作。 譯作有《費曼的6堂Easy物理課》、《費曼的6堂Easy相對論》、《萬物簡史》等。 吳程遠 香港英皇書院中學丶美國 Gustavus Adolphus 大學畢, 主修物理及數學,後獲北卡羅萊納大學教堂山分校物理碩士。 曾在皇冠電子公司任職及擔任台灣大學物理系助教, 又曾在《牛頓》雜誌丶翰園資訊公司、天下文化出版公司、 天下雜誌出版部丶遠流出版公司丶《科學人》雜誌丶 讀書共和國等各編輯部門從事編輯工作。 譯作有《實現創業的夢想》(與齊若蘭合譯)丶《別鬧了,費曼先生》丶 《這個不科學的年代!》丶《神經外科的黑色喜劇》、 《創意工廠MlT》丶《發明學,改變世界》丶《行善的誘惑》 以及《大策略家》等。

Il piacere di scoprire
«Una volta un poeta ha detto: “L’universo intero è in un bicchiere di vino”. Probabilmente non sapremo mai in che senso lo disse, perché i poeti non scrivono per essere compresi. Ma è vero che se osserviamo un bicchiere di vino abbastanza attentamente vediamo l’intero universo. Ci sono le cose della fisica: il liquido turbolento e in evaporazione, in funzione del vento e del tempo, il riflesso sul vetro del bicchiere, e la nostra immaginazione aggiunge gli atomi. Il vetro è un distillato di rocce della terra, e nella sua composizione vediamo i segreti dell’età dell’universo e l’evoluzione delle stelle. Ci sono i fermenti, gli enzimi, i substrati e i prodotti... E se le nostre piccole menti, per qualche modesta convenienza, dividono questo bicchiere di vino, questo universo, in parti (fisica, biologia, geologia, astronomia, psicologia e via dicendo) ricordiamo sempre che la natura non lo sa! Perciò rimettiamo tutto insieme e non dimentichiamoci per cosa è fatto. Lasciamo che ci regali ancora un ultimo piacere: beviamolo in un sorso e scordiamoci di tutto il resto!». RICHARD P. FEYNMAN

Só pode ser brincadeira, Sr. Feynman!
Livro de memórias curiosas e fascinantes de físico ganhador do prêmio Nobel Richard Feynman foi um gênio incomum. Espirituoso, ele conta os casos mais engraçados e excêntricos desde a infância, quando já se mostrava um menino engenhoso e brincalhão, até o momento em que recebeu o prêmio Nobel, com a personalidade desafiadora e fora dos padrões que o tornou extremamente popular dentro e fora da área acadêmica. Suas palestras sobre física, um marco na vida de outras personalidades extraordinárias, como Bill Gates — que assina uma breve introdução neste livro —, encantaram gerações de estudantes e outros interessados em conhecimento científico de uma maneira geral. A notável capacidade intelectual de Feynman se iguala ao seu impulso por aprender: instrumentos musicais, pintura, línguas, comportamento humano, biologia... o físico parece uma máquina de absorção de conhecimento, capaz de entender e explicar o mundo de forma inusitada aos seus leitores. Entre as muitas histórias curiosas reunidas nesta edição, destacam-se os episódios em que ele trocou ideias sobre física atômica com Einstein, quebrou o segredo de cofres que continham informações sobre o programa nuclear, deu aulas e desfrutou do Carnaval no Brasil. Narrador inteligente e bem-humorado, Feynman mostra por que é um dos intelectuais mais adorados de sua geração e até hoje fascina todos aqueles apaixonados por ciências.

What Do You Care What Other People Think?
The New York Times best-selling sequel to "Surely You’re Joking, Mr. Feynman!" Like the "funny, brilliant, bawdy" (The New Yorker) "Surely You’re Joking, Mr. Feynman!" 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. 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 Challenger’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 "What Do You Care What Other People Think?" one of the greatest physicists of the twentieth century lets us see the man behind the genius.

El placer de descubrir
El placer de descubrir permite acceder al mundo personal, social y cientíco de Richard Feynman, por ejemplo, a sus aventuras mientras participó en el Proyecto Manhattan, cuando se divertía —y escandalizaba— descifrando las claves de cajas fuertes, o a cómo se inició, siendo un niño, en el estudio de la naturaleza (en el «placer de descubrir»), que terminaría ocupando toda su vida. Podemos, asimismo, conocer sus pioneras ideas sobre las computadoras del futuro, su opinión acerca del valor de la ciencia o la explicación, tan sencilla como profunda, que dio al desastre de la lanzadera espacial Challenger. Es este, sin duda, un libro tan fascinante como su autor.

Le battute memorabili di Feynman
Genio scientifico reso celebre dalla felice perspicuità delle sue lezioni e dei suoi scritti – oltre che dalle esplorazioni nel mondo dei quanti che gli valsero il premio Nobel –, Richard Feynman non temeva di sconfinare in territori estranei alla sua materia, mosso da un''insaziabile curiosità fanciullesca e armato di un''intelligenza analitica giocosa e spietata. A quasi trent''anni dalla morte del padre, Michelle Feynman ha setacciato opere edite, carte personali, registrazioni di conferenze, lezioni e interviste, e ne ha tratto un memorabile florilegio di idee, intuizioni, battute, riflessioni e precetti sempre illuminati dai lampi di un''immaginazione che ammetteva come unico limite la compatibilità con le leggi note della fisica. Ripartiti in ventisette sezioni – da «Giovinezza» a «Arte, musica e poesia», «Natura della scienza», «Tecnologia», «Guerra», «Politica», «Dubbio e incertezza» –, i passi qui raccolti stregheranno il lettore come le vertiginose evoluzioni di un funambolo della ragione applicata al mondo, questo «caos dinamico di cose tremolanti» in cui ci tocca vivere.

The Feynman Lectures on Physics, Vol. III
"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.

The Quotable Feynman
A treasure-trove of illuminating and entertaining quotations from beloved physicist Richard P. Feynman "Some people say, ‘How can you live without knowing?'' I do not know what they mean. I always live without knowing. That is easy. How you get to know is what I want to know."—Richard P. Feynman Nobel Prize–winning physicist Richard P. Feynman (1918–88) was that rarest of creatures—a towering scientific genius who could make himself understood by anyone and who became as famous for the wit and wisdom of his popular lectures and writings as for his fundamental contributions to science. The Quotable Feynman is a treasure-trove of this revered and beloved scientist''s most profound, provocative, humorous, and memorable quotations on a wide range of subjects. Carefully selected by Richard Feynman''s daughter, Michelle Feynman, from his spoken and written legacy, including interviews, lectures, letters, articles, and books, the quotations are arranged under two dozen topics—from art, childhood, discovery, family, imagination, and humor to mathematics, politics, science, religion, and uncertainty. These brief passages—about 500 in all—vividly demonstrate Feynman''s astonishing yet playful intelligence, and his almost constitutional inability to be anything other than unconventional, engaging, and inspiring. The result is a unique, illuminating, and enjoyable portrait of Feynman''s life and thought that will be cherished by his fans at the same time that it provides an ideal introduction to Feynman for readers new to this intriguing and important thinker. The book features a foreword in which physicist Brian Cox pays tribute to Feynman and describes how his words reveal his particular genius, a piece in which cellist Yo-Yo Ma shares his memories of Feynman and reflects on his enduring appeal, and a personal preface by Michelle Feynman. It also includes some previously unpublished quotations, a chronology of Richard Feynman''s life, some twenty photos of Feynman, and a section of memorable quotations about Feynman from other notable figures. Features: Approximately 500 quotations, some of them previously unpublished, arranged by topic A foreword by Brian Cox, reflections by Yo-Yo Ma, and a preface by Michelle Feynman A chronology of Feynman''s life Some twenty photos of Feynman A section of quotations about Feynman from other notable figures Some notable quotations of Richard P. Feynman: "The thing that doesn''t fit is the most interesting." "Thinking is nothing but talking to yourself inside." "It is wonderful if you can find something you love to do in your youth which is big enough to sustain your interest through all your adult life. Because, whatever it is, if you do it well enough (and you will, if you truly love it), people will pay you to do what you want to do anyway." "I''d hate to die twice. It''s so boring."

Qué significa todo eso
Los dos aspectos de su personalidad, como científico y como ciudadano, confluyen en estas reflexiones sobre la relación de la ciencia con la política o la religión, que sorprendieron a quienes no sabían que estuviese interesado por el significado de «todo eso». En este libro extraordinario se publican por primera vez las famosas conferencias que dio enla Universidadde Washington, en las que habló de certeza e incertidumbre en la ciencia, del conflicto entre ciencia y religión, de las causas de la desconfianza general hacia los políticos, o de las creencias irracionales que han invadido esta era «acientífica», desde la fascinación por los ovnis hasta la fe en las curaciones milagrosas, pasando por la astrología y la telepatía, sin olvidar los constantes insultos a la inteligencia humana que se hacen cotidianamente a través de la publicidad. Este libro es, como dice su editor norteamericano, «oro puro, pura poesía, puro Feynman».

Six Not-So-Easy Pieces
Learn about Einstein''s theory of relativity from a physics Nobel laureate and "one of the greatest minds of the twentieth century" (New York Review of Books) in six memorable lessons It was Richard Feynman''s outrageous and scintillating method of teaching that earned him legendary status among students and professors of physics. From 1961 to 1963, Feynman delivered a series of lectures at the California Institute of Technology that revolutionized the teaching of physics. In Six Not-So-Easy Pieces, taken from these famous Lectures on Physics, Feynman delves into one of the most revolutionary discoveries in twentieth-century physics: Einstein''s theory of relativity. The idea that the flow of time is not a constant, that the mass of an object depends on its velocity, and that the speed of light is a constant no matter what the motion of the observer, at first seemed shocking to scientists and laymen alike. But as Feynman shows, these tricky ideas are not merely dry principles of physics, but things of beauty and elegance. No one — not even Einstein himself — explained these difficult, anti-intuitive concepts more clearly, or with more verve and gusto, than Feynman. Filled with wonderful examples and clever illustrations, Six Not-So-Easy Pieces is the ideal introduction to the fundamentals of physics by one of the most admired and accessible physicists of all time. “There is no better explanation for the scientifically literate layman.” –Washington Post Book World

What Do You Care What Other People Think: Further Adventures of a Curious Character
The New York Times best-selling sequel to "Surely You’re Joking, Mr. Feynman!" One of the greatest physicists of the twentieth century, Richard Feynman possessed an unquenchable thirst for adventure and an unparalleled ability to tell the stories of his life. "What Do You Care What Other People Think?" is Feynman’s last literary legacy, prepared with his friend and fellow drummer, Ralph Leighton. Among its many tales—some funny, others intensely moving—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 nearby on the atomic bomb at Los Alamos. We are also given a fascinating narrative of the investigation of the space shuttle Challenger’s explosion in 1986, and we relive the moment when Feynman revealed the disaster’s cause by an elegant experiment: dropping a ring of rubber into a glass of cold water and pulling it out, misshapen.

"Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman!": Adventures of a Curious Character
A New York Times bestseller—the outrageous exploits of one of this century''s greatest scientific minds and a legendary American original. Richard Feynman, winner of the Nobel Prize in physics, thrived on outrageous adventures. Here he recounts in his inimitable voice his experience trading ideas on atomic physics with Einstein and Bohr and ideas on gambling with Nick the Greek; cracking the uncrackable safes guarding the most deeply held nuclear secrets; accompanying a ballet on his bongo drums; painting a naked female toreador. In short, here is Feynman''s life in all its eccentric—a combustible mixture of high intelligence, unlimited curiosity, and raging chutzpah.

The Meaning of It All

The Meaning of It All
Many appreciate Richard P. Feynman''s contributions to twentieth-century physics, but few realize how engaged he was with the world around him -- how deeply and thoughtfully he considered the religious, political, and social issues of his day. Now, a wonderful book -- based on a previously unpublished, three-part public lecture he gave at the University of Washington in 1963 -- shows us this other side of Feynman, as he expounds on the inherent conflict between science and religion, people''s distrust of politicians, and our universal fascination with flying saucers, faith healing, and mental telepathy. Here we see Feynman in top form: nearly bursting into a Navajo war chant, then pressing for an overhaul of the English language (if you want to know why Johnny can''t read, just look at the spelling of "friend"); and, finally, ruminating on the death of his first wife from tuberculosis. This is quintessential Feynman -- reflective, amusing, and ever enlightening.

Perfectly Reasonable Deviations from the Beaten Track

Perfectly Reasonable Deviations from the Beaten Track
"I''m an explorer, OK? I like to find out!" -- One of the towering figures of twentieth-century science, Richard Feynman possessed a curiosity that was the stuff of legend. Even before he won the Nobel Prize in 1965, his unorthodox and spellbinding lectures on physics secured his reputation amongst students and seekers around the world. It was his outsized love for life, however, that earned him the status of an American cultural icon-here was an extraordinary intellect devoted to the proposition that the thrill of discovery was matched only by the joy of communicating it to others. In this career-spanning collection of letters, many published here for the first time, we are able to see this side of Feynman like never before. Beginning with a short note home in his first days as a graduate student, and ending with a letter to a stranger seeking his advice decades later, Perfectly Reasonable Deviations from the Beaten Track covers a dazzling array of topics and themes, scientific developments and personal histories. With missives to and from scientific luminaries, as well as letters to and from fans, family, students, crackpots, as well as everyday people eager for Feynman''s wisdom and counsel, the result is a wonderful de facto guide to life, and eloquent testimony to the human quest for knowledge at all levels. Feynman once mused that "people are entertained'' enormously by being allowed to understand a little bit of something they never understood before." As edited and annotated by his daughter, Michelle, these letters not only allow us to better grasp the how and why of Feynman''s enduring appeal, but also to see the virtues of an inquiring eye in spectacular fashion. Whether discussing the Manhattan Project or developments in quantum physics, the Challenger investigation or grade-school textbooks, the love of his wife or the best way to approach a problem, his dedication to clarity, grace, humor, and optimism is everywhere evident..

The Character of Physical Law
Collecting legendary lectures from freewheeling scientific genius Richard P. Feynman, The Character of Physical Law is the perfect example of his gift for making complex subjects accessible and entertaining A series of classic lectures, delivered in 1960 and recorded for the BBC. This is Feynman''s unique take on the problems and puzzles that lie at the heart of physical theory - with Newton''s Law of Gravitation; on whether time can ever go backwards; on maths as the supreme language of nature. Demonstrates Feynman''s knack of finding the right everyday illustration to bring out the essence of a complicated principle - eg brilliant analogy between the law of conservation energy and the problem of drying yourself with wet towels. ''Feynman''s style inspired a generation of scientists. This volume remains the best record I know of his exhilarating vision'' Paul Davies

¡Ojalá lo supiera!
Todavía hoy, cuando han transcurrido casi veinte años de su muerte, Richard Feynman (1918-1988) es recordado como un personaje mítico de la ciencia del siglo XX. Fue un físico extraordinario y extraordinariamente original, como muestran sus versiones de la electrodinámica cuántica (con sus celebres diagramas, llamados “de Feynman”) o de la propia mecánica cuántica. Pero también, y de ahí el cariño, casi veneración, que sus colegas sintieron por él, un hombre con un amor por la vida que traspasaba todas las fronteras, incluida la que separa a la ciencia y a los científicos de la sociedad. Rescatadas por su hija Michelle, este libro reúne un conjunto de cartas que van desde 1939, cuando acababa de comenzar sus estudios en la Universidad de Princeton, hasta 1986, cuando su muerte se vislumbraba –de la mano de un cáncer– en el horizonte. A través de esta correspondencia los lectores encontrarán al mejor y más auténtico Richard Feynman, siempre jovial, irreverente en el respeto y nunca banal; al Feynman que se enamoraba, se divertía o sufría, al igual que al físico genial y al hombre comprometido que no soportaba los convencionalismos sin sentido, ni la estupidez, y que se implicó, mostrando, una vez más, su creatividad, en muy diversos tipos de actividades, como la comisión que se formó para encontrar las causas del desastre del trasbordador Challenger, que él desentrañó con una demostración tan sencilla como memorable.
