If you drive at highway speeds with the windows down, you feel the wind beating against your face. Yet our planet moves through space at over 100 miles per second, and we feel nothing of it. How can this be, especially when, as we have known since Einstein, space and matter interact? The answer, Matt Strassler reveals, is that we are more than mere objects moving through emptiness. Beginning with the basics of motion, Strassler describes the relationships between mass, fields, forces and the quantum world to show how all things, familiar and unfamiliar, emerge from what seems at first like nothing at all.
