The development of physical ideas from Galileo to Einstein in the light of modern science. Kuznetsov B.G.

In this book, written by the famous domestic historian B.G. Kuznetsov, the historical evolution of scientific ideas about space, time, movement and substance is considered. The author explores the development of physical ideas, starting with the science of the 17th century, when individual information began to take shape in the relatively integral picture of the universe, and ending with the trends of theoretical physics that have emerged in the middle of the 20th century.

The book will cause interest as in physicists - scientific workers, teachers and students, and among philosophers, historians and methodologists of science.
