According to the author, this book was to open a series of previously written popular science books on physics, and therefore was addressed to the least prepared readers. The author believed that the systematic study of physics can be started only when a sufficient array of observations of physical phenomena in the environment and life will be 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 on their own using the tools at hand. The author's unique fictional form of stories, rich illustrative material, as well as excursions into the history of scientific discoveries, accompanied by citations of 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 all those who are curious about natural phenomena, but do not have enough knowledge to explain them. It will broaden the reader's horizons, enrich him with new knowledge and unexpected comparisons, and most importantly - develop a habit of looking for a rational explanation for everything. The book will be useful to parents, helping them to answer the many "whys" of their children, as well as teachers, offering them tools to increase interest in their students' learning.
