Amazing Physics. The Magic that Makes Up Our World

We are fascinated by distant galaxies, black holes, and elementary particles, but how often do we consider the everyday magic around us? Tiny atoms collide to form snowflakes, crystals, and even owls, which for scientists are not what they seem.... Professor Felix Flicker believes that there is nothing more mysterious than physics, which allows everyone to feel like a magician. In this amazing book, Sherlock Holmes, Terry Pratchett, and the Scandinavian god of thunder Thor coexist, drawing the reader into the magical world of physics. What can black and white sheep tell us about magnets? Why is it difficult for us to balance an egg? How are Albert Einstein, Marilyn Monroe, and the crystalline lattice connected? And how not to freeze in space on a magic carpet? After reading this book, you will no longer be able to look at the world as you did before. 'The task of magicians is to reveal hidden patterns within chaos' (Felix Flicker). Previously, the book was published in the 'Scientific Interest' series under the title 'The Magic of Physics. How to Control the Hidden Forces of Matter, Create Substances from the Quantum World, and Call Crystals from Chaos.'
