This site provides a free physics textbook that tells the story of how it became possible, after 2500 years
of exploration, to answer such questions. The book is written for the curious:
it is entertaining, surprising and challenging on
every page. With little mathematics, starting from observations of everyday life, 
the text explores the most fascinating parts of mechanics, thermodynamics,
special and general relativity, electrodynamics, quantum theory and modern 
attempts at unification.  The essence
of these fields is summarized in the most simple terms. 
For example, the text presents modern physics 
as consequence of the notions of
minimum entropy, maximum speed, maximum force, minimum change of charge and minimum action.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://motionmountain.net/"><P><A href="http://www.motionmountain.net/C-4-EDYN.pdf#page=59" class="testo">How does a rainbow form?</A>
