Fundamentals of reality. 10 fundamental principles of the universe

The book of the Nobel Prize in Physics with an explanation of 10 fundamental concepts of modern science. For everyone who wants to get closer to understanding the structure of the universe.
Our understanding of the device of the universe from a scientific point of view is incomplete and is constantly developing. The most seemingly clear idea of ​​each of the basic principles has radically changed over the past 100 years. At the same time, new knowledge quickly enters our lives and become the foundation for the following revolutionary discoveries and scientific achievements. Yesterday"s sensation is today"s norm and tomorrow"s story.
One of the best popularizers of science Frank Wilchek in an accessible form describes the main components of physical reality - space, time, matter, energy and dynamic complexity. They relate to what we have. In addition, you will learn about “how what we have is formed” - about the theory of a large explosion and the emergence of the universe. Finally, the most fascinating and exciting - acquaintance with one of the largest projects of our time, expanding the horizon of our knowledge and pushing the boundaries of what we can: hunting for a Higgs particle and the search for gravitational waves that laid the foundation for a new type of multi -channel astronomy. Paradoxically, the principles of quantum mechanics are applicable not only for knowing the surrounding world, but can also help a person solve the problem of perceiving himself, in a new way and deeper to recognize himself and others.
The world is simple and complex, logical and strange, natural and chaotic. Thanks to this book, we will be able to look back and admire the successes achieved by the generations of scientists who lived in different eras and in different countries, as well as get acquainted with scientifically sound assumptions about the possible development of science in the future
