How do falling cats always land on all fours? It's amazing how long it took scientists to answer this question! The history of the study of this feline ability is almost as old as physics itself - the first research paper on the topic of a falling cat was published in 1700 by the Frenchman Antoine Paran, but even today scientists continue to find controversial points in it. In his fascinating and witty book, physicist and avid cat lover Gregory Gbourg shows how attempts to understand the mechanics of falling cats have helped to understand a variety of problems in mathematics, physics, physiology, neuroscience and space biology, contributed to the development of photography and cinema, and even influenced robotics. Finding the answer to the riddle of a falling cat immerses readers in the fascinating world of science , from which they will learn the solution to the puzzle, but will also discover that the phenomenon of feline twisting is still a hotly debated topic among scientists. The author is convinced that the more we study the behavior of these animals, the more surprises they present to us.
