QED is a seductive mix of science, human affections, moral courage and comic eccentricity... not to be missed."- John Simon, New York Magazine The play itself is a kind of proof, dramatically illustrating how a man who happens to be a genius elegantly and movingly works through the human problem of how to face the end of his life." - Nancy Franklin, The New Yorker With a moving and powerful introduction from Alan Alda. Who knew that quantum electrodynamics could make for a dramatic read? In the hands of the late, great physicist Richard Feynman, it does. Feynman's theory of QED is just one of the many topics the playwright Peter Parnell explores in this nearly-one-man show, a recent Broadway triumph for star Alan Alda as Feynman. Set in Feynman's office on the weekend of his realization that he has terminal cancer, this play is an intellectual tour-de-force that captures the unique, hilarious, and puckish genius that Feynman was. From his work on the Manhattan Project to the death of his beloved first wife, from his mission to reconstruct the Challenger space shuttle tragedy to his Nobel-prize winning physics ideas, the resume of Feynman's life is fascinating. But Parnell gives us more, letting fill in the details of his life. When he reads a letter he wrote to his wife after her death, or flirts with a student, or chillingly recalls walking around Manhattan calculating the damage an atomic bomb could do, we grow to love the man behind the scientist. And we read in fascination as he puzzles out the problem of his own death. Combining the current interest in science and math in the entertainment world with one of the most entertaining scientists in U.S. history, QED is a tour-de-force.
我一直对相对论里,光速作为一种绝对的存在这个观念很着迷,我认为它指向了宇宙的终极秘密:为何所有的space-time都是相对的,而c却是超越时空的存在? 于是《QED—光和物质的奇妙理论》这书的标题一下子就把我抓住了。 基础的量子力学框架描述的是单个粒子如何运动。但要描述...
评分光不仅有粒子性,还有波动性,因此我们将之称为光子,光代表着她的波动性,子代表着她的粒子性。因此我们可以称之为奇异物质,奇异物质没有质量,没有体积只有动量及相关量。
评分QED,量子电动力学,听这名字就装逼到了极致,并且对于大多数人来说,光看这个装逼的名字,肯定就望而却步了! 只要是接触量子力学有关的书,那肯定免不了接触到QED这个名词,我也是出于好奇,就想买本书看看QED到底是个什么玩意。说到这东西,入门的话,肯定选择...
评分开篇的某些内容会让人觉得:本来挺简单的,干嘛用这么复杂的方法阐述。但看到后来就会发现这种方法是贯穿始终的,越往后,问题越复杂,你会发现,用这种方法反而有助于理解,这就是“费曼式”的!
