Fysikk er studiet om universet og alt som finnes i det. Som en del av vår bestselgende «Store temaer for begynnere»-serien, er denne boken en døråpner inn til fysikkens verden. Fra de gåtefulle, usynlige kvantepartiklene til galaksenes former. I stedet for å beskrive detaljerte fysikkeksperimenter, fokuserer boken på hva ulike grener av fysikken handler om, hvordan vi kjenner til dem, hva kunnskaper om fysikk kan hjelpe oss med og hvilke mysterier som gjenstår å avdekke for fysikere in spe. Boken viker ikke unna de vanskelige temaene, og beskriver sorte hull, kvantemekanikk og til og med Einsteins relativitetsteorier. Få en spennende og reflekterende innføring i fysikken, med en sjarmerende miks av korte tekster og fargerike illustrasjoner. Passer for de litt eldre barna, 9-12 år, men definitivt også for ungdom, 12-16 år, som vurderer å ta fysikk som fag på videregående skole.
