What are the popular science books?

Popular science books include Dreams in the Starry Sky, Universe in the Shell, and Tracing to the Source: A World of Entropy, Relativity and Relativity.

1, a dream in the starry sky

Introduction: Dream in the Starry Sky systematically summarizes the achievements of human exploration of the solar system, the Milky Way, constellations, galaxies and nebulae. For people to continue to explore, such as how the universe was formed, and which star in the elliptical galaxy, dwarf galaxy and rod spiral galaxy is similar to the earth.

When can humans reach Andromeda, Taurus, Leo, Lyra and Pegasus, how the Milky Way rotates, whether Martians exist, whether humans can move to the moon, what contribution Jupiter has made to the earth, and whether Neptune was first calculated or discovered by people are of great help.

2. The universe in the shell

Introduction: In the new book The Universe in the Shell, Hawking brings readers to the forefront of theoretical physics, where truth is even more dazzling than fantasy. He explained the principle of restricting the universe in popular language.

3. Traceability: the world of entropy

Introduction: The story follows the historical development order: The first two chapters introduce the position of the second law of thermodynamics and the significance of entropy in thermodynamics.

The third and fourth chapters focus on the significance of entropy in statistical physics and molecular dynamics theory, explain entropy with probability theory, and explain the role of entropy in phase transition through examples of ordered phase transition and disordered phase transition. Besides the problems in solids, it also shows the unique role of entropy in soft matter.

4. Relativity theory

Introduction: Relativity is a book of creation that completely subverts classical physical concepts. It denies Newton's absolute view of time and space, and thinks that space is not a straight Euclidean space, but a Riemannian space bent in the gravitational field.

Time is not a single dimension independent of space, it exists in space all the time, and forms a unified four-dimensional space-time whole with space. This is a book that discovered and created a new order of the universe with wisdom rather than eyes.

5. A brief history of time

Stephen Hawking's bestseller A Brief History of Time has become a milestone in scientific writing. This is not only because of the author's charming expression, but also because of the awesome themes he discussed: the essence of time and space, the role of God in creation, the history and future of the universe.

Although this book is indeed "more concise" in length, it actually expands the main theme of the original work. Pure technical concepts, such as mathematics of chaotic boundary conditions, have been deleted. On the contrary, topics including relativity, curved space and quantum theory, although infinitely interesting, are difficult to understand because they are scattered in the original work. Now they are discussed in a separate chapter.
