Khapachev Yu., Dyshekov A., Oranova T., Shustova T. The Modern Natural Science Picture of the World

Cambridge Scholars Publ., 2020. — 200 p. — ISBN (13) 978-1-5275-4611-0.Современная естественнонаучная картина мираЭта книга, предназначенная для широкого круга читателей, демонстрирует объективную красоту науки. В нем подчеркиваются особенности микро-, макро- и микромира, а также обсуждается роль и важность фундаментальных констант наблюдаемой Вселенной. Он исследует поведение человеческого организма как открытой неравновесной системы, а также способы перехода из состояния «болезни» в состояние «здоровье».Intended for a wide range of readers, this book shows the objective beauty of science. It highlights the features of the micro-, macro-, and microcosm, and discusses the role and importance of the fundamental constants of the observed universe. It examines the behavior of the human organism as an open non-equilibrium system, as well as ways to transition from a state of “illness” to a state of “health”PreambleThe World as a Physical System
