Taken from his celebrated Caltech lectures, Six Not-So-Easy Pieces is more challenging in its content than the previous volume Six Easy Pieces (Penguin 1998), providing an exhilarating analysis of one of the most important general areas of modern theoretical physics: Relativity. The lectures, delivered in Feynman's inimitable style, begin by dealing with issues of symmetry before moving on to Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity and how the principle of relativity affects our ideas of physics and other branches of human thought. Other lectures explore relativistic energy, four-dimensional space-time and curved spaces.
