What have physicists done in the last 100 years for Non-Physicist

Obviously, the public is interested in what the 10,000 researching physicists are doing: the image of a black hole, Higgs boson, etc. This book explains what physicists have been up to for the last 100 years and how our everyday understanding is being overturned as a result. To illustrate this, the author uses the history of physical thinking in antiquity and from modern times onwards. I highly enjoyed enjoyed reading the book and learned a great deal. It cured my anger about "emanzipatorische Wissenschaftskritik", which was just a "mutual admiration sub reddit" in my opinion.
