Long popular in print among connoisseurs of scientific texts, the revered lectures of Nobel laureate Dr. Richard Feynman have now "gone live" on the web, granting worldwide access to the teaching of one of physics' most eminent minds. Do enjoy them.

Add the Landau-Lifshitz series on theoretical physics and you could really learn something.

This is wonderful. Bookmarked. Will I ever read more than a couple? Maybe not. But I feel somehow much wealthier having them available at a click of the mouse.

On Feynman's blackboard when he died:

"What I cannot create I do not understand"

and

"Know how to solve every problem that has been solved"

I paid a lot of money for those paperbacks. But I did eventually make most of it back on Ebay.

The more protons in a nucleus, the stronger is the electrical repulsion, until, as in the case of uranium, the balance is so delicate that the nucleus is almost ready to fly apart from the repulsive electrical force. If such a nucleus is just “tapped” lightly (as can be done by sending in a slow neutron), it breaks into two pieces, each with positive charge, and these pieces fly apart by electrical repulsion. The energy which is liberated is the energy of the atomic bomb. This energy is usually called nuclear energy, but it is really electrical energy released when electrical forces have overcome the attractive nuclear forces.

...

I’ve enraged a few people by paraphrasing the above from page one of volume two. I tell them that the energy released from the fission bomb is electrical.
