520 $aThis book concentrates on the foundations of modern physics (its "ABC's") and its most fundamental constants: c - the velocity of light, and h - the quantum of action. The book is addressed to professional physicists, but in order to achieve maximal concentration and clarity it uses the simplest (high school) mathematics. .
