The original Feynman's point of view about world is always matter of greatest interest. He deeply investigate, as ever he did, the principles of gravitation theory and beyond.
Based upon a course taught by Feynman on the principles of gravitation at Cal. Tech, this series of lectures discusses gravitation in all its aspects. The author's approach is very direct, a trademark of his work and lecture style.
<p>The Feynman Lectures on Gravitation are based on notes prepared during a course on gravitational physics that Richard Feynman taught at Caltech during the 1962-63 academic year. For several years prior to these lectures, Feynman thought long and hard about the fundamental problems in gravitationa
