Life that seems to be taken for granted actually hides a lot of physics mysteries!
Unexpected?
You are sitting on a chair and cannot stand up at all;
Walking is a series of forward falling movements;
A ton of wood is heavier than a ton of iron;
The sunrise we see is actually higher than the actual position of the sun.
Come and join Belaliman and penetrate the surface of everyday things,
Learn about the fun and mysteries of physics!
By the way, here is the original intention of writing as stated by the author:
The goal of this book is not to introduce new knowledge, but to help you "understand what you already know." In other words, it wants to refresh and bring your basic knowledge of physics to life and teach you various ways to apply this knowledge. As a result, the book is filled with interesting questions, brain teasers, anecdotes, playful experiments, paradoxes and unexpected analogies - both from the everyday world and from science fiction, all related to physics.
Science fiction lends itself best to a book like this, so Beleliman quoted extensively from the works of Jules Verne, H. G. Wells, Mark Twain, and other writers because, in addition to being entertaining, the fantasy experiments these writers depicted would make perfect examples for physics classes. He wants to arouse readers' interest and curiosity through "Fun Physics", because I believe that the more interested you are in something, the more willing you are to delve into it, and the easier it is to understand its meaning - thereby acquiring more knowledge.
This book hopes that you can think along the lines of science from the perspective of physics and closely connect physics knowledge with everyday things. "A popular science writer leads readers from basic general knowledge to profound thoughts and serious research. Through simple discussions or notable cases, he introduces the main conclusions drawn from these facts and inspires readers to constantly ask new questions. A popular science writer should not assume that readers do not think, or are unable or unwilling to think. On the contrary, he should assume that potential readers are eager to use their brains, and through their serious and hard work to assist and guide the other party to take the first few steps, teach him to continue to move forward independently."
Reader comments
I especially like the interesting questions and experiments in the book, which make physics no longer boring. Moreover, the author cited many examples from science fiction novels, which made me feel like I was exploring an unknown world. I think this book is not only suitable for high school students, but also for people who are interested in physics. However, I kind of hated some of the paradoxes in the book because they were really brain-burning and took me a long time to figure out. Overall, this is a very good book and I recommend it to everyone!
