"The whole thing was basically an experiment," Richard Feynman said late in his career, looking back on the origins of his lectures. The experiment turned out to be hugely successful, spawning publications that have remained definitive and introductory to physics for decades. Ranging from the basic principles of Newtonian physics through such formidable theories as general relativity and quantum mechanics, Feynman's lectures stand as a monument of clear exposition and deep insight....

Einstein begins by stripping space and time of their mystique, showing that science knows them through clocks, shared events, and actual measuring processes, not private impressions or empty abstractions. From there he rebuilds geometry around bodies of reference, congruence, coordinates, and rigid measurement, arguing that Euclidean space matters only insofar as it describes physical reality. He then introduces the language of invariance, vectors, and tensors, revealing how scalars, vecto...

In an attempt to explain some of the properties of matter on the basis of this atom-model we meet, however, with difficulties of a serious nature arising from the apparent instability of the system of electrons: difficulties purposely avoided in atom-models previously considered, for instance, in the one proposed by Sir J. J. Thomson[4]. According to the theory of the latter the atom consists of a sphere of uniform positive electrification, inside which the electrons move in circular orbit...
