The main directions of physics of the XXI century

This book introduces readers to the phenomena and laws related to modern physics of the microworld. High-quality style of presentation, the lack of difficult theoretical calculations, appeal to fragments from the history of science allows you to represent complex issues of modern microphysics at a high content level and in a popular science style. The authors are trying to solve the problem of the lack of information about modern physics in the programs of universities and schools, associated with the complexity of those physical phenomena that modern science explores. Familiarization with this material will eliminate this gap in education, convey to the reader extensive ideological, experimental and technical aspects that modern science lives and which often remain unknown to most of society. This material will not only allow you to expand your scientific horizons, but will also contribute to the development of your scientific worldview and the formation of a modern style of thinking - effective tools in the process of scientific knowledge. Separately, it is worth noting that the book will be extremely useful to future and practicing physics teachers: the materials presented will give them information that can be used in teaching a school physics course in conducting extracurricular work (for example, design and educational and research). The materials of the book are addressed to physics teachers, university students, students of classes (including natural scientific profile) of high school, as well as everyone who is interested in the achievements of modern physics and technology, the history of the development of physical science.
