Nikos wakes up every morning with the same weight: a life full of postponements, lost dreams, and unanswered questions. Until the day when, in the attic of his house, he finds an old blue notebook from his school years. Leafing through it, he remembers the questions that once made him marvel at light, time, chaos, and the Universe. These notes lead him back to the one person who taught him how to truly think: his old teacher, Simonidis.
In a quiet place, far from noise and certainties, a series of meetings begins that resemble more a clash of ideas. Words, silences, and questions open up paths: from the birth of the Universe to its possible end. Gravity, matter, and entropy are not presented as theories, but as ways to understand the world—and your place within it.
The Apple, the Butterfly, and Professor Simonidis is not simply a physics book. It is a book for those who once wondered "why"—and do not want to forget what it’s like to keep asking.
"In science, truth belongs to no one," said Simonidis. "It doesn’t matter if it is proposed by a student or a Nobel laureate—only if it withstands the light of criticism.
Does it withstand? Then it stands. Does it not? It collapses
—and something better takes its place."
A book that reminds us that knowledge does not begin with answers, but with the courage to keep asking.
