But 'enigma" equally applies to this book, QED. Quantum Electrodynamics (QED) is the theory of how light and matter interacts. Here go some more passages for reflection, now from QED: The Strange Theory of Light and Matter: We physicists are always checking to see if there is something the matter with the theory. In that regard, portions of that book seemed very much in the spirit of what is now my hands-down favorite popularization of science of any discipline, namely “QED: The Strange Theory of Light and Matter”. Having already read his autobiographies “Surely You're Joking Mr Feynman” and “What Do You Care What Other People Think“, I was. You see my physics students don't understand it That is because I don't understand it. It is one of the This theory, called quantum mechanics, was very strange because, down at the atomic level, it turns out, things are very strange. Enigma - this term best describes QED, the notoriously non-intuitive basis of fundamental physics. If you are interested in the background foundations of QM, but are not a physics graduate student, my very first recommendation would be Feynman's QED: The Strange Theory of Light and Matter. QED: The Strange Theory of Light and Matter page 10. Create a universe with no matter, a universe with different kinds of matter, a universe with 300 forces instead of the four that we see - and e and π won't change. 9th, 2011 02:40 pm (UTC) Link · Here is video of some of his popular lectures on quantum electrodynamics that became the book "QED: The Strange Theory of Light and Matter". In those days, you had to go to a real brick-and-mortar bookstore to find something and I happened upon QED – The Strange Theory of Light and Matter. This strange and counter-intuitive approach accurately predicts the statistical behavior of “a few electrons in simple circumstances,” wrote Feynman in his book QED, The Strange Theory of Light and Matter.
