【內容簡介】：
　　理查德・沃弗森教授在這場講座之初，談到這宇宙中最重要的論題時就向觀眾說道：“要理解近代物理，並不一定需要像愛因斯坦一樣高明” 。
　　相對論和量子革命奠定了近代物理的基石，修正了我們對空間和時間、前因和後果的固有觀念，它們也都以深奧復雜著稱。但是事實上，任何人都可以輕松地理解相對論和量子力學的基本思想。正如沃弗森教授所指出的，相對論的精髓可以濃縮成一句話：在所有相互作勻速直線運動的慣性系中，物理定律具有相同的形式。
　　量子論也可以一樣通俗易懂。它遵循這樣一個原則：宇宙中的實體——物質和能量——不是無限可分的，但是可以分成大量“量子”。（by 喵喵驢驢）
"It doesn't take an Einstein to understand modern physics," says Professor Richard Wolfson at the outset of this course on what may be the most important subject in the universe.
Relativity and quantum physics touch the very basis of physical reality, altering our commonsense notions of space and time, cause and effect. Both have reputations for complexity. But the basic ideas behind relativity and quantum physics are, in fact, simple and comprehensible by anyone. As Professor Wolfson points out, the essence of relativity can be summed up in a single sentence: The laws of physics are the same for all observers in uniform motion.
The same goes for quantum theory, which is based on the principle that the "stuff " of the universe—matter and energy—is not infinitely divisible but comes in discrete chunks called "quanta."
