Welcome to the World of Physics
This is a basic book about the "science" of physics itself and the history of physics. By taking a look at the methodology, large-scale scale, important concepts, problems, theoretical systems and disciplinary development of physics, it has clarified the three pillars of modern physics: relativity, thermodynamics, quantum mechanics, and clearly and concisely introduced the whole picture of modern physics and what is the scientific spirit: Doubt and self-doubt, honest with evidence and truth.
