It divides chapters based on different angles such as the big and small, fast and slow, more and less, ordered and unordered, "virtual" and real, and simple and complex in terms of material properties. The content ensures a relatively complete subject knowledge system. The main content includes Newtonian mechanics, quantum mechanics, and relativity, the three laws of thermodynamics, electromagnetic fields, nonlinear physics, and more. This book can serve as a textbook for undergraduate liberal arts majors while also being a high-quality popular science reading material. Considering the target audience, the book integrates the physics knowledge system into vivid narratives, supplemented only with a minimal number of necessary mathematical formulas. The book is written in an accessible and engaging manner, with smooth text, rich illustrations, and images, to meet the needs of various readers in society for acquiring physics knowledge and improving scientific literacy.
