Description
Geschichten eines Nobelpreisträgers: Richard P. Feynman erzählt aus seinem LebenEr hat die Quantenphysik revolutioniert und war einer der ersten Popstars der Physik. Seine Autobiografie zeigt Richard P. Feynman als talentierten Geschichtenerzähler mit Sinn für Witz und Tiefgang.Theoretische Physik ist staubig? Ein Professor denkt nur an den Nobelpreis und seine Forschung? Nicht so Richard P. Feynman! In zahlreichen Schriften und Büchern hat der Magier der Quantenelektrodynamik schon Mitte des vergangenen Jahrhunderts bewiesen, dass Wissenschaft spannend, lustig und auch ein Abenteuer für Laien ist.»Sie belieben wohl zu scherzen, Mr. Feynman!« versammelt autobiografische Anekdoten aus dem Leben des Vordenkers zu einem witzigen Einblick in den Aufstieg und die Karriere des nonchalanten Wissenschaftlers.Feynman-Fans und -Einsteiger lernen einen Menschen kennen, der von Anfang an der Überzeugung gewesen ist, dass Wissenschaft nicht zum Selbstzweck existiert und es keinen Grund gibt, nicht über sich selbst zu lachen.»Ich würde nicht zwei Mal sterben wollen. Es ist so langweilig.« – Richard P. FeynmanEinen Nobelpreisträger für Physik erlebt man selten als derart mitreißenden Geschichtenerzähler. »Sie belieben wohl zu scherzen, Mr. Feynman!« begeistert Leser authentischer Biografien genauso wie Neugierige und aufstrebende Wissenschaftler.
