Showing papers by "Richard Phillips Feynman published in 1966"
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss the sequence of events that led to the winner of the Nobel Prize in physics, and how they came out the other end with an unsolved problem for which they ultimately received a prize.
Abstract: We have a habit in writing articles published in scientific journals to make the work as finished as possible, to cover up all the tracks, to not worry about the blind alleys or to describe how you had the wrong idea first, and so on. So there isn't any place to
publish, in a dignified manner, what you actually did in order to get to do the work, although there has been, in these days, some interest in this kind of thing. Since winning the prize is a personal thing, I thought I could be excused in this particular situation if I were to talk personally about my relationship to quantum electrodynamics, rather than to discuss the subject itself in a refined and finished fashion. Furthermore, since there are three people who have won
the prize in physics, if they are all going to be talking about quantum electrodynamics itself, one might become bored with the subject. So, what I would like to tell you about today are
the sequence of events, really the sequence of ideas, which occurred, and by which I finally came out the other end with an unsolved problem for
which I ultimately received a prize.

TL;DR: The first volume of the complete audio CD collection of the recorded lectures delivered by the late Richard P Feynman, lectures originally delivered to his physics students at Caltech and later fashioned by the author into his classic textbook Lectures on Physics.
Abstract: Eagerly awaited by scientists and academics worldwide, the first of the complete recordings of Feynman's famous Lectures on Physics , now on CD Basic Books is proud to announce the first volumes of the complete audio CD collection of the recorded lectures delivered by the late Richard P Feynman, lectures originally delivered to his physics students at Caltech and later fashioned by the author into his classic textbook Lectures on Physics Ranging from the most basic principles of Newtonian physics to such formidable theories as Einstein's general relativity, superconductivity, and quantum mechanics, Fenyman's lectures stand as a monument of clear exposition and deep insight
