Three books in which famous scientists simply and interestingly tell about the world around us and the future of mankind.

Empires of the future will be empires of reason.

Winston Churchill

Long live an exciting trip to the foundations of the universe! These books, written by some of the best scientists in the field of physics, astronomy, mathematics and chemistry, will be unexpectedly pleasant and useful discovery even for hard-core humanities.

1. "What if?.. Scientific answers to absurd hypothetical questions" by Randall Munro

We all love to ask questions about the nature of things and phenomena. And over the years and experience they accumulate more and more. But here's the bad luck - often the questions we are interested in seem to others frivolous and even strange. So the Curious Man threatens to turn into the Banal Man. But it was not there!

The unsurpassed book by Randall Munroe, a NASA physicist and robotics engineer, comes to the rescue, answering in detail and competently the seemingly ridiculous questions: "What if you swim in a pool for spent fuel?" and jumped at once, and then landed at the same time? "," What if you measure the Force that Master Yoda can produce? "," What if?.."

The book is compiled from a variety of questions sent to the author by visitors to his Internet comics site. Each answer is scientifically based and spiced with a dose of great humor.

Read, learn and remember that the most impressive discoveries were made after the words: "What if?..".

2. “Scientific theories in 30 seconds. 50 of the most ingenious scientific theories told in half a minute "edited by Paul Parsons

The complexity and confusion of the modern world, together with the information overload of people, does not give us the opportunity to methodically master at least a small percentage of fundamental scientific ideas. Meanwhile, they are worth that we know about them and share the acquired scientific knowledge with children, friends and just good people.

Talented scientists of our time presented 50 of the greatest theories professionally and simply in one book, providing them with excellent illustrative material. Now, in pleasant company, you can easily talk about the six-handshake hypothesis, game theory, quantum field theory and Schrödinger's cat.

The book is very easy to read, and the theories you like can later be worked out independently.

3. "Physics of the Future" Michio Kaku

This is not just a book - it is a portal to the future of humanity! The famous American physicist and futurist, professor at New York University Michio Kaku, presents the reader with authoritative data on what will happen to our world in 2100.

To write his bestseller, the scientist brought together sound scientific forecasts of his colleagues and the latest innovative developments in the field of nanotechnology, artificial intelligence, biotechnology and quantum theory. Here and now you will learn about the future of the computer, medicine, energy, space travel and humanity. On top of that, you will be given a unique opportunity to live on January 1, 2100!

Everything that previously seemed like science fiction will acquire an absolutely real opportunity to serve the man of the future. In addition to this book, you can read other outstanding works of Michio Kaku, for example “Hyperspace. A scientific odyssey through parallel worlds, holes in time and the tenth dimension”,“The future of reason”,“Einstein's space. How Albert Einstein's discoveries changed our understanding of space and time.
