Man measures himself by size and height, and the scientist measures his mind by what he knows about science, and Shadi Abdel Hafiz believes in his book “The Book of Heaven” that all of humanity is nothing before the multiverse, of which we know nothing . except when we read about it and understand it in a way that reveals to us what is going on in the other spheres while we eat a simple meal at home.
In the book “Heaven” by Shadi Abdel Hafez, published by Asir al-Kutub, he reveals the celestial spheres through 3 main titles, the first of which is the star atlas, then the moon atlas and then a complete booklet that includes images of stars, planets and the surrounding celestial spheres How did you die?
I love you till the stars and planets burn. This phrase was the most impressive when quoted among loved ones from the writings of the late Ahmed Khaled Tawfiq, but according to Shadi Abdel Hafez, this is normal and does not contain anything unconventional. Birth of the old and between them a youth that perishes as usual or even incomplete. Shadi Abdel Hafez, in the book of the heavens, goes into impressive detail about the reason for naming most of the stars, since they are mostly considered Arabic and Greek. There is the most famous star “Alphard”, while there is Ra’s al-Ghul, who is also famous in Greek culture with the famous legend of Medusa.
According to Shadi Abdel Hafez, who writes on several platforms about astronomy in a simplified way, the reader does not need any introduction to mathematics or physics, so the book is suitable for different age groups from adolescence, and the book in its entirety represents a practical guide supported by dozens of designs and pictures, and its purpose That anyone and everyone can experience the night sky with some wisdom and enjoyment represents a simple plan of action, which is preferable to follow in the order you say it, because each step is based on the previous one .
Alaa Al-Nahri, vice president of the UN Regional Center for Space Science and Technology, in turn said that simplifying space science would educate entire generations to learn about the universes and how they came to be from scratch, something the UAE pioneered within, as it is one of the first countries to simplify space science and astronomy from children’s age to adults.
Al-Nahry added to Al-Ittihad that the Book of Heaven is an important experiment in simplifying space science, as the reader does not need to have complete knowledge of these floats and calculations of physics and mathematics, but only to have fun, know in it at least what he sees above him of creation, stars and lights that adorn his world in which he lives. In it, while it is basically universes and planets, not an atom’s weight comes next to it, or even the entire planet Earth. Al Nahri believes that Shadi Abdel Hafez’s Sama book represents an important experience in simplifying space science, similar to the role and books that the UAE has printed since its interest in space science and the launch of space missions, which should be praised and the demand for more support, especially in the Arab world, which is new to the world. Pay attention to such an important culture.
