(Ebook) The Physics of Planet Earth and Its Natural Wonders by Dmitry Livanov ISBN 9783031334252, 3031334256

The book you are holding in your hands is about the physics of the world. The world around us, which is made up of the planets and stars that we see when looking at the sky, mountains and rivers on the Earth’s surface, the seas and oceans with their storms and lulls, our planet’s atmosphere with lightning and thunder, wind, snow and rain—all of this is like a huge laboratory in which physical experiments are taking place every minute and every second. Steven Hawking wrote, “The subject of science is often taught in school in a dry and boring way. Children learn to mechanically memorize material in order to pass tests, but do not see any connection between science and the world around them.” The aim of this book is to show that this connec-tion really does exist and to explain several physical phenomena, which we encounter every day.I invite you to venture into the fascinating and complicated world of physics. I will end this short preface with a quote from another Nobel Laureate in Physics, Peter Kapitza, who said, “Nothing prevents a person from becoming smarter tomorrow than they were yesterday.”
