"Physics manifests itself in our life, like the metamorphoses of a kaleidoscope. This book is written by professional scientists who have devoted their entire lives to finding answers to the riddles posed by nature. The authors investigate this from the very first chapter: the curious reader will find out why the sky and the sea are blue, why the rivers are meandering, how natural waveguides work, why the climate changes and so on ... Further, the path of knowledge leads from the beauties and uncovered mysteries of nature to the physics of everyday life. From the train in the gallery, to the secrets of a glass harmonica and a good violin. Over an aperitif, the authors ask questions about the secrets of bubbles of champagne and wine tears on the walls of the glass, knowing the answers to which will help you to be known as an experienced sommelier. Then you enter the kitchen: the physical phenomena around ovens and stoves are endless, from microwaves to cooking, with corresponding phase transformations. Making pizza requires deep thought, not to mention pasta, where Italian and German philosophies collide. The physics behind making good (or bad) coffee is very interesting, and you can't go wrong. After an excursion to the kitchen, the authors invite us to a strange quantum world, believing that the themes of the last part may be on the verge of understanding for the uninitiated. Indeed, the quality of the text and the splendor of the illustrations convey the aesthetics of the physics of the atomic and subatomic world. The chapter entitled Physics, Geometry and Beauty deals with fullerenes, Leonardo, Piero della Francesca and Luca Pacioli. Even though our senses are already heightened by wine, cooking and good coffee, perhaps it is in the field of quantum physics that two cultures, once united, and then separated by Aristotelian constructions, again merge into world harmony"--
