Physics. 65 1/2 (Not) Childlike Questions About How Everything Works

The book by candidate of physical and mathematical sciences and science popularizer Kirill Polovnikov is built on the principle of "question — answer." And there are a lot of questions that a person has throughout their life — from ordinary everyday ones to completely abstract: Why are magnets attracted? How does a microwave work? What is antimatter? How old is our Universe? And many, many others. Each answer is based on decades, hundreds, or sometimes even thousands of years of human thought development. The author described the basic ideas underlying the modern physical picture of the world in simple and accessible language, which makes the book understandable for both adults and children. We wish you an exciting dive into one of the most interesting sciences — physics!
