Alexey Semikhatov – Everything That Moves: A Walk Through the Restless Universe
Dive into the fundamental scientific picture of the world, from a thrown stone to Einstein’s and Schrödinger’s equations. This book traces how humanity deciphers the universe by observing motion—deducing the rules that govern everything, and finding hidden clues in the gaps between expectation and reality. Famous examples include the predicted existence of Neptune, Planet 9, dark matter in galaxies, the accelerated expansion of the universe, and the quantum nature of thermal radiation.
Explore the workings of the solar system and the possibilities of traveling through it; the interplay of space, time, and motion in special relativity, along with the challenges of galactic travel; general relativity and its effects—non‑Keplerian orbits, time dilation, gravitational waves, and exotic faster‑than‑light ideas. Discover entropy as ignorance of microscopic motion, from heat engines to Maxwell’s demon and black holes. Delve into quantum mechanics: tunneling through walls, the unique structure of atoms, entanglement, and interpretations that aim to clarify Schrödinger’s cat.
In our universe, rest is impossible—and readers are invited to appreciate its restless diversity.
