The Meaning of It All: Thoughts of a Citizen Scientist is a non-fiction book by the Nobel Prize-winning physicist Richard Feynman. It is a collection of three previously unpublished public lectures given by Feynman in 1963. [1] The book was first published in hardcover in 1998, ten years after Feynman's death, by Addison–Wesley.
Feynman's argument [ edit ] Later in the Chapel Hill conference, Richard Feynman used Pirani's description to point out that a passing gravitational wave should, in principle, cause a bead on a stick (oriented transversely to the direction of propagation of the wave) to slide back and forth, thus heating the bead and the stick by friction .

Perfectly Reasonable Deviations from the Beaten Track: The Letters of Richard P. Feynman is a collection of Nobel Prize winner Richard Feynman's letters. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] The book was edited by his daughter, Michelle Feynman , and includes a foreword by Timothy Ferris .
Feynman's Lost Lecture: The Motion of Planets Around the Sun is a book based on a lecture by Richard Feynman. Restoration of the lecture notes and conversion into book form was undertaken by Caltech physicist David L. Goodstein and archivist Judith R. Goodstein .
Critical reception has been positive. [4] [5] The journal The Physics Teacher, in recommending it to both scientists and non-scientists alike, gave The Character of Physical Law a favorable review, writing that although the book was initially intended to supplement the recordings, it was "complete in itself and will appeal to a far wider audience".
