Wonders of Physics

Have you ever wondered how airplanes fly? How your voice travels over the telephone? Or how the electricity that lights our world works? All these phenomena are just some of the wonders revealed to us by physics, the fascinating science that explains everything around us, from the smallest particles to the greatest cosmic phenomena.
This book takes you on an exciting journey through the ages of physics, starting with Archimedes and the ancient Alexandrian scholars who laid the first foundations, and continuing to the Arab and Muslim innovations in the science of optics led by Al-Hasan Ibn al-Haytham. You'll learn about William Gilbert, the father of magnetism, and Galileo, who challenged prevailing beliefs with his revolutionary experiments. Then you'll reach Newton, who formulated the laws of motion and gravity, and discover how these laws transformed our understanding of the world.
Because physics didn't stop at its theoretical foundations, you'll learn about the amazing inventions that spawned it, from the barometer and vacuum to electricity, the telegraph, and wireless communication, from solar engines to airships and submarines. This is not just a book about physics, but the story of human genius in exploring the universe and harnessing its laws to build the future.
