physics


I've recently taken an interest in physics (well, so much as to absorb my reading of books and wikipedia articles constantly) because there's just so many interesting explanations for such things as gravity and matter the more you keep reading about it

today, I found these lectures that richard feynman did at cornell in 1964 that bill gates and microsoft have published. they aren't like scientific lectures about physics (typical feynmann lectures are way beyond) this series is called 'the character of physical law' and they're just really entertaining (7 lectures)

1. The Law of Gravitation, an example of Physical Law
2. The Relation of Mathematics to Physics
3. The Great Conservation Principle
4. Symmetry in Physical Law
5. The Distinction of Past and Future
6. Probability and Uncertainty
7. Seeking New Law
