In this book the author gives a comprehensive picture of the
physical laws that appear to regulate the functioning of the
Universe from the atomic to the cosmic world. The book offers a
description of the main fields of physics - classical physics,
relativity, quantum mechanics and particle physics - as they are
applied to the atomic world and the cosmos to describe how the
whole Universe has evolved to the present state. The description
concentrates on the essentials, describing our present knowledge of
those physical laws and outlining our limitations in understanding
the whole picture. This is done essentially without equations,
except for a few important ones. The text includes a short Annex
for mathematically inclined readers who wish to see how the
physical principles and laws expressed in words can be visualized
in the language of mathematics, but the book can be read without
referring to that Annex. Also, The Universe explains in depth those
laws and outlines their limitations. The author, however, does this
in an accessible language that should be understandable to
non-specialists. In particular, he occasionally uses two young
characters placed in various situations to explain the physics
involved in those situations by means of their observations. The
author uses also numerous clear pictures and graphics that make the
text more easily comprehensible.
