Elementary Particles and the Laws of Physics: The 1986 Dirac Memorial Lectures

Synopsis

Perhaps the two most important conceptual breakthroughs in twentieth century physics are relativity and quantum mechanics. Developing a theory that combines the two seamlessly is a difficult and ongoing challenge. This accessible book contains intriguing explorations of this theme by the distinguished physicists richard feynman and steven weinberg. Richard feynman's contribution examines the nature of antiparticles, and in particular the relationship between quantum spin and statistics.
