Measurement and motion: physics and the everyday world -- Energy and matter: material and heat -- Electricity and magnetism: two forces unite -- Sound and light: the properties of waves -- The quantum world: our uncertain universe -- Nuclear and particle: inside the atom -- Relativity and the universe: our place in the cosmos. "The Physics Book comprises concise information and step-by-step diagrams that untangle knotty theories, memorable quotes, and witty illustrations that play with our understanding of physics. This diverse and inclusive account of physics includes Pythagoras's observations on music, Galileo's experiments with spheres, and Isaac Newton's theories of gravity and the laws of motion, unlocking Albert Einstein's insights into relativity, how the accidental discovery of cosmic microwave background radiation confirmed the Big Bang theory and the reasons most of the Universe is 'missing'"-- Provided by publisher. 20240625.
