Holder of a degree in theoretical chemical physics, senior researcher of the research group for the development of new drugs Scott Bembenek in the best traditions of popular literature tells how scientific theories were born and developed. This book is a unique combination of science, history and biography. It tells the history of science in an accessible language from the earliest scientific questions in the history of mankind, without sacrificing accuracy and correctness of facts. The reader will see: - how the energy, entropy, atoms and quantum mechanics that form the basis of our universe govern the world in which we live; - what a difficult path humanity has traveled to discover the laws of physical phenomena; - how scientific discoveries (and related scientists) have shaped the world as we know it today.
