Feynman is so masterful that he makes everything perspicuous. The book tells you what complex numbers (those things that you learned in high school) are for (amongst other things of course). It also tempts you to interpret the quantum nature of light - but you have also been warned by Feynman not to (page 9). You will have the chance of having Feynman himself explaining Feynman diagrams. You will learn that things can travel backwards in time (page 97) - or do they? You will also comprehend how all the three forces (electromagnetic, weak and strong) are inter-related (pages 136-142). And towards the end, Feynman will try to marvel you with the elegance of nature and its imbued mystery. Truly a masterpiece!Get more detail about QED: The Strange Theory of Light and Matter (Princeton Science Library).
