The Character of Physical Law
by Richard Feynman
4/5
MIT Press 192 pages March 10, 2017
Based on a series of lectures at Cornell University, Feynman explores the general character of physical law — not specific laws, but the nature of the laws themselves. Covering gravity, conservation, symmetry, and the relationship between mathematics and physics, it's a meditation on how science works.

Jim's Review
🐛
While Six Easy Pieces teaches you physics, this book teaches you how to THINK like a physicist. Feynman doesn't just explain the laws — he shows you why they're beautiful, why mathematics is the language of nature, and why guessing is an essential part of science. It leaves you with a much deeper appreciation for how the universe is put together. It's philosophical, it's poetic, and it's pure Feynman. Four worms — science as art.
