Jim's Review
🐛
Feynman was the greatest physics teacher who ever lived, and these six lectures prove it. He takes concepts that most professors need a semester to explain and makes them crystal clear in a few pages. Jim especially loves the chapter on atoms — the idea that everything is made of tiny jiggling particles has never been explained better. Short, sweet, and endlessly re-readable. Four worms — physics the way it should be taught.
