The Great Laws of the Universe: From Gravity to Quantum Particles. A Visual Guide

What can you see at the edge of a black hole? How to trace the movement of stars? Why do gravitational waves change space-time? What is matter made of and what forces act on it at a fundamental level?

Science popularizer, physicist, and mathematician Alessandro Russell discusses in his book:

— Newton's theory of gravity, Einstein's special and general theories of relativity, the concept of Minkowski space-time, and gravitational waves;

— quantum mechanics and the standard model of elementary particles;

— string theory and supersymmetry.

All key concepts of modern physics – from Newton and Einstein to Schrödinger and Hawking – explained with beautiful illustrations.
