G. Gamow: A journey to the unknown

A story of physics in a dream of wonder! What if we were governed by the same physical laws as in the world we live in, but only by the numbers of physical constants that determine the applicable limits of classical ideas? People living in such a world must have a new and accurate concept of space, time and motion as common sense. The main character of the book is to step into this kind of world in dreams, where many things that we find hard to think about are so overstated that they are as easy as they are in everyday life. The many new worlds he has had in his dreams, the relativistic world, the space world, and the quantum world, or the atomic and nuclear world, are the most common words that an old physics professor can understand. Author G. Garmov described the physical phenomena that actually exist for the easy understanding of non-scientific people, Mr. Thompkins, the main character, who is interested in modern science, with such an exaggerated capacity to understand them. Completed in his two books with interesting themes of modern science, this book will teach us a lot of fun about the physical world we live in.
