Where does an ubiquitous radiation undertake from and as she us affects? What colors do need to be mixed up, to get white? What "ingredients" need for creation to Universe: ordinary and dark matter, dark energy - that yet?Physics not only thinks of interesting riddles but also gives exact, reasonable answers on them. Do you disbelieve? Then try to count up, what anymore: stars in all visible Universe, grains of sand on all beaches of Earth or molecules in glass of water? An answer for these and many other questions you will find on the pages of this book.
