This is an automatically translated description

According to the author's intention, this book was to open a series of popular science books on physics that he had previously written, and therefore was addressed to the least prepared readers. The author believed that it was possible to begin the systematic study of physics only when a sufficient array of observations of physical phenomena in the environment and everyday life had been accumulated. This is the purpose of the book. It contains a large number of fascinating stories about various physical phenomena, as well as describes the simplest experiments that the reader can perform with their own hands using the tools at hand. The author's unique fictional form of storytelling, rich illustrative material, and excursions into the history of scientific discoveries, accompanied by quotes from classics of science, participants and witnesses of outstanding experiments, will help to increase interest in the subject. The book will be useful not only "for young physicists", as the author himself briefly described its purpose, but also for anyone who is curious about natural phenomena but does not have sufficient knowledge to explain them. It will broaden the reader's horizons, enrich them with new knowledge and unexpected comparisons, and most importantly, develop the habit of looking for a rational explanation for everything. The book will also be useful for parents, helping them answer their children's many "why's", as well as for teachers, offering them ways to increase their students' interest in learning.
