story about the fundamental scientific picture of the world in development from a more visual to a more abstract one: from a thrown stone to an explanation of the Einstein and Schrödinger equations. Man understands the workings of the universe by observing movement and its consequences, guessing at the rules that govern everything that happens, and getting clues about hidden parts of the world or about new rules from discrepancies between theoretically expected and actual movement: famous examples include the predicted existence of Neptune , Planet 9 and invisible matter in galaxies, the reasons for the accelerated expansion of the universe, the quantum nature of thermal radiation. The book discusses the functioning of the solar system and the possibility of travel through it; the relationship of space, time and motion in the special theory of relativity and the problems of galactic flights determined by them; general relativity and its effects, including non-Keplerian orbits, time dilation, gravitational waves, and exotic ways to travel faster than light; entropy as ignorance of microscopic motion and its applications from heat engines to Maxwell's demon and black holes; quantum mechanics, including passage through walls, the uniqueness of atoms, entanglement, and interpretations designed to clarify the state of Schrödinger's cat. According to the rules of our universe, peace is impossible in it, and the reader will have to appreciate its restless diversity.
