Features: The author begins with ancient Greek scholars and introduces the formation and development of all important concepts in physics so far. The book is lively in writing, highly informative, yet involves only a limited amount of mathematics, providing readers with engaging insights to gradually explore the fundamental principles of the vast universe and the simplicity hidden beneath countless phenomena. Throughout its long development, physics has successfully explained more and more phenomena in increasingly broader fields, yet based on fewer and fewer fundamental principles. This clear and well-chosen work elucidates how this outcome is continuously achieved through the unexpected discovery of the "hidden unity" in nature. With skillful writing, the author guides readers along the right path to the core of physics—in the complex universe where humans reside, to seek and discover elegant laws that unify knowledge and achieve simplification.
