In school, you typically hear the answers first and are presented with the questions during the exam.

Lewis C. Epstein takes a different approach. He starts with the question and then suggests several answers. You can first think for yourself and then check if you are correct. In the answers, Epstein includes the fundamental ideas of physics—practically without formulas. This way, you playfully find solutions to all kinds of physics questions, from the function of a light bulb or a toilet flush to the theory of relativity, along with understandable explanations for everything that seems puzzling. Originally intended for students and pupils, Epstein's book has since become a popular physics classic for both laypeople and professionals.
