As a child and later as a teenager, I was motivated to become a scientist by reading science fiction by Isaac Asimov, Robert Heinlein, and others, and popular science books by Asimov and the physicist George Gamow. To them I owe so much. I've long wanted to repay that debt by passing their message on to the next generation....I've had a half-century-long career as a scientist. It's been joyously fun(most of the time), and has given me a powerful perspective on our world and the universe.
"... No doubt some errors may remain. Blame me, or better yet, let me know and I will try to correct the error. After thirty years of teaching physics, I still find lots of things that I didn't know I didn't know before. I hope that most of you who read this book are doing it because you want to learn more about our world. Some, I know, are taking physics only to fulfill some requirement. In either case, I hope you end up enjoying the book and the course work. We live in a mysterious and phenomenal universe, and, as far as we know, we're the only ones around who can comprehend it..."__________________
