Going to the club with Paul Dirac and Richard Feynman

From a recent review....
"Let us talk about the physics first, the only thing I could say is that it is a really low-level club, the decorate still stayed in the 90s and sometime you could find a horrible smell coming form the back"

Slaux Pas wants "smart" talk. A discussion on physics might be s start

Comments
last comment1. Two atoms are sitting in a bar. The first atom says, " I think I lost an electron." The second atom says, "Are you sure?" The first atom replies,"I'm positive."
2. A neutron walks into a bar and asks, "How much for a shot of whisky?" The bartender replies, "For you, no charge."
3. Heisenberg is pulled over by a cop. The cops says, "Do you know how fast you're going?" Heisenberg replies, "No, but I know where I am."
4. Q. What is a transitor?
A. A nun who's had a sex change.
5. What did one U-235 nucleus say to another?
"Gotta split."
6. Did you know that entropy isn't what it used to be?
A Mobius strip club.
Well, at least he did in principal.
A Higgs Boson pops up in the Vatican. A very angry Pope shouts "Why are you here"? The Higgs
replies, "Because without me, you can't have Mass".
A: Avacado's Number
Q: What happened to the plant in math class?
A: It grew square roots.
Q: Why did the chicken cross the mobius strip?
A: To get to the same side.
Q: How do you make seven an even number?
A: Take the s out!
Q: Why should the number 288 never be mentioned?
A: It's two gross.
Q: Why couldn't the moebius strip enroll at the school?
A: They required an orientation.
Give peas a chance.
Lol
Scuse me, while I kiss this guy

Feynman Lectures
http://www.amazon.com/Feynman-…
Feynman gave these lectures in the early 60's at Cal Tech. The idea is that the lower division Physics course had expanded out to two full years. They wanted to cut it back down to one. So they had Feynman give these lectures, and then they made them into this three volume book set.
For what they wanted, a new text for the basic lower div course, the books fail. You can't use these to teach. Too difficult. But for those who have already learned, they make for beautiful reading.
Another set of books made for a similar objective is the Berkeley Physics Course.
This is 5 volumes. They do a good job with Special Relativity in volume 1, before talking about waves or electromagnetics. They don't talk about acoustic waves until after they have dealt with electromagnetics and then they treat acoustic and electromagnetic waves together. They don't deal with macroscopic thermodynamics until the 5th volume, after quantum mechanics. Then they treat all thermodynamics together.
It was all a very ambitious project. Also, it uses this CGS units system, which requires special units no one is familiar with for electricity.
Again, as a lower division course text, it fails. No one uses it. But even though it is from the mid 60's, it is still in print. For those who have already learned, these make for beautiful reading. There is a preface written by Clark Kerr. These books have influenced the new text books which are used.
