Physics. 65 1/2 (Not) Children's 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 quite a few questions that a person asks himself throughout his life — from ordinary everyday ones to completely abstract: Why do magnets attract? How does a microwave work? What is antimatter? How old is our Universe? And many, many others. Behind the answer to each of them lies decades, hundreds, and sometimes even thousands of years of development of human thought. The author explained the basic ideas underlying the modern physical picture of the world in simple and accessible language, which makes the book understandable to both adults and children. We wish you an exciting dive into one of the most interesting sciences — physics!
