Here is the rephrased text:

Mansoulié showcases his remarkable ability to convey the complexities of physics to a non-scientific audience in this concise and accessible volume. The book consists of 15 short chapters, each presenting a significant equation from the realm of physics, ranging from the simplest and oldest to the more intricate and recent ones. The primary target audience is the curious general public, ensuring that no mathematical complexities are involved beyond the straightforward expression of each equation. What insights can a professional glean from an equation? Does one perceive a rainbow differently after understanding the law of refraction of light? Do certain equations hold more meaning than their original purpose? The book offers a platform for contemplating the nature of physical laws, challenging the notion that they are predetermined or solely the product of human imagination. Personal anecdotes and quotes within the book underscore the intimate connection between a scientist and their research, as well as the interplay between their personal lives. Each chapter is accompanied by a captivating full-page artistic drawing by Lison Bernet, showcasing a range of emotions, from gentle and whimsical to poetic and thought-provoking.
