事物如何移动。这个问题进一步导致了现代物理学的发展。物理学作为一种描述物质和能量运动的数学方法出现，这种描述被认为是完整和正确的，只受到相关测量精度的限制。因此，作者不是以传统的、严格的定量方式来介绍物理学的一些重要方面，而是以半定量的方式来介绍它们，这是理解物理学工作的最低要求。因此，这本书对相当多的人来说是可以理解的。这本书的一个重要方面在于它对20世纪物理学对我们对世界的最终认识所施加的限制的关注。这些局限性来自于对世界进行定量描述的努力，只有在同样的定量思想中才能得到正确的理解和欣赏。值得一提的是，这本书没有包括任何关于粒子物理学和宇宙学以及弦理论的最新发展的讨论。重要的是要明白，这本书并不是要代表在发现的时候对事物的看法，而是要展示我们现在如何使用这些发现来理解我们自己时代的世界，以及我们从过去的所有发现中获得的累积视角知识。非常有用的建议阅读材料列在书的最后，作者对每本书都有非常有见地的评论。在书的最后还添加了非常详尽的索引。本书是理想的物理学本科一年级学生的配套书籍之一。这本书是非常发人深省的，所以那些谁喜欢理解简单的概念，历史，和解释，而不成为一个专家的数学严谨-他们会喜欢这本书比任何人都多。
how things move. This question further led to the augmentation of modern physics. Physics emerged as a mathematical way to describe the motion of matter and energy, a description believed to be complete and correct, limited only by the precision of relevant measurements. The author thus presents some of the important aspects of physics not, in a conventional, hard quantitative way, but rather presents them in a semi-quantitative manner, which is the minimal requirement to understand the workings of physics. Thus the book becomes comprehendible to a considerable mass. A significant aspect of the book lies in its concerns regarding the kind of limitations that physics in the twentieth century has imposed on our ultimate knowledge of the world. These limitations arise from efforts to describe the world quantitatively and can only be properly understood and appreciated in terms of those same quantitative ideas. It is important to mention that this book did not include any discussion on the latest developments in particle physics and cosmology, as well as string theory. It is important to understand that this book is not meant to represent the view of things at the time of the discoveries but rather to show how we use those discoveries now to make sense out of the world in our own time with the cumulative perspective knowledge we have gained from all the discoveries in the past. Extremely useful suggested readings are listed towards the end of the book, with very insightful comments by the author on each book. Also very exhaustive index is added at the very end of the book. The book is ideal for first year undergraduate students in physics as one of the companion book. This book is very much thought provoking, so those who enjoy understanding simple concepts, histories, and interpretations without becoming an expert in mathematical rigor – they are going to like this book more than anyone else.
