Physics is around us

Why do we need physics if we are not going to be physicists anyway? Why should we fill our heads with complex definitions, intricate formulas and confusing explanations? How can we remember and wrap our heads around all of this? How many generations of schoolchildren have asked themselves these questions. How many graduates still remember their school physics lessons and homework with horror and disgust. How many have only scattered names of laws and fragments of definitions left in their heads.

This book will help you understand that physics is not that difficult, but incredibly interesting and even exciting. Here you will not find any problems or formulas, but you will find a simple and clear explanation of the laws and examples of how these laws work in the phenomena and objects that surround us everywhere. Why do cracks in the asphalt become potholes in winter? How does a GPS navigator work? Why can you skate very fast and spend very little effort? How does a bridge support the weight of a freight train?

The laws of physics also work in our body: when we sleep, walk, swim, or simply breathe. Did you know that our nerves and brain work thanks to electrical impulses? And have you ever thought that we have a sense organ that can perceive electromagnetic waves?

Knowledge of physics helps us take care of our own safety. The book will tell you why, for example, you can't stand on the edge of a platform where trains are passing, why you should lie on your stomach and crawl if the ice under you is cracking, or why you can't touch two wires with both hands when working with exposed wires.

We all live in a world of physical laws, and there is no way to get around them. They can be studied, they can be used, and of course, it is impossible not to admire them! So let's do it right now!
