This book attempts to explain the core of physics, the origin of everything and anything. It explains why physics at the most fundamental level, and especially quantum mechanics, has moved away from naive realism towards abstraction, and how this means that we can begin to answe…

This is a physics book like you've never seen before: accessible and fun--perfect for anyone, young or old, who has a healthy dose of curiosity.
Focusing on the objects that populate everyday life, the author looks at them with a physicist's eye, revealing a hidden elegance in mundane physical mechanisms.
The hidden elegance in everyday objects and physical mechanisms, from crumpled paper to sandcastles. Hidden Wonders focuses on the objects that populate our everyday life--crumpled paper, woven fabric, a sand pile--but looks at them with a physicists' eye, revealing a hidden ele…
