A story about the fundamental scientific picture of the world in development from more visual to more abstract: from a thrown stone to an explanation of the equations of Einstein and Schrödinger. Man understands the workings of the universe by observing motion and its consequences, guessing at the rules that govern everything that happens, and getting clues about hidden parts of the world or new rules from discrepancies between theoretically expected and actual motion: famous examples include the predicted existence of Neptune , Planet 9 and invisible matter in galaxies, the reasons for the accelerated expansion of the Universe, the quantum nature of thermal radiation. The usual ways of describing things are collapsing. Inescapable enmity, determined by the presence of Planck's constant, is an integral part of the structure of the Universe. This state of affairs affects not only what is meant by the movement of objects, but to some extent also the very nature of their existence. Awards and prizes Included in the long list of the XV season of Dmitry Zimin’s “Enlightener” award. The book discusses the functioning of the solar system and the possibilities of travel along it; the relationship between space, time and motion in the special theory of relativity and the problems of galactic flights determined by them; general relativity and its effects, including non-Keplerian orbits, time dilation, gravitational waves, and exotic modes of superluminal travel; entropy as ignorance of microscopic motion and its applications from heat engines to Maxwell's demon and black holes; quantum mechanics, including walking through walls, the unique design of atoms, entanglement, and interpretations to clarify the condition of Schrödinger's cat. According to the rules of our Universe, peace is impossible in it, and the reader will have to appreciate its restless diversity. A world where the principle of uncertainty reigns, it would seem, should look blurry and imprecise, but in reality the opposite is true: the world turns out to be extremely rigid and strict, and therefore precise in in relation to those values of quantities that are nevertheless accessible to the phenomena existing there... We have before us another case when the difference between time and space makes its own corrections, and in space-time circumstances turn in such a way that the straightest lines connecting two events are these are the longest journeys for travelers. For whom For those who want to find guidelines for understanding the modern scientific picture of the world, its principles and patterns of development.
