\"\"<\/a> \u00a0 The early scientists–Archimedes, Galileo, Newton and others–were philosophers, astronomers, matematicians and, sometimes, heretics.\u00a0 In their search for the whys and hows of the world around them they observed natural happenings, experimented, and observed again, until they could find a way to explain how the forces of nature act on us, our world, and our universe.\u00a0 These explanations are the natural or scientific laws.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Other, later scientists looked at the world with and without telescopes and microscopes, revising the scientific laws as new informations came to light.\u00a0 None of them did this alone.\u00a0 As Newton said–“If I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.”<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Secrets of the Universe looks at how the laws of physics apply to everyday objects, showing how and why they work as they do.\u00a0 This book describes each law and make sense of it with illustrations and do-at-home experiments.\u00a0 It shows how the giants of science have explained the Secrets of the Universe.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Clear explanations, illustrated with simple experiments, reveal how the universal laws of science affect the everyday world.<\/span><\/p>\n
