Everything That Moves: Walks Through the Restless Universe

The book discusses the functioning of the Solar System and the possibilities of traveling through it; the relationships between space, time, and motion in the special theory of relativity and the problems of galactic flights defined by them; the general theory of relativity and its effects, including non-Keplerian orbits, time dilation, gravitational waves, and exotic methods of superluminal travel; entropy as ignorance of microscopic motion and its applications from heat engines to Maxwell's demon and black holes; quantum mechanics, including tunneling, the uniqueness of atomic structure, entanglement, and interpretations aimed at clarifying the state of Schrödinger's cat. According to the laws of our Universe, rest is impossible, and the reader will have to appreciate its restless diversity.
