Science. Nonfiction. Humor (Nonfiction.) HTML:Prepare to learn everything we still donâ??t know about our strange and mysterious universe 

Humanity's understanding of the physical world is full of gaps. Not tiny little gaps you can safely ignore â??there are huge yawning voids in our basic notions of how the world works. PHD Comics creator Jorge Cham and particle physicist Daniel Whiteson have teamed up to explore everything we don't know about the universe: the enormous holes in our knowledge of the cosmos. Armed with their popular infographics, cartoons, and unusually entertaining and lucid explanations of science, they give us the best answers currently available for a lot of questions that are still perplexing scientists, including:
* Why does the universe have a speed limit?
* Why aren't we all made of antimatter?
* What (or who) is attacking Earth with tiny, superfast particles?
* What is dark matter, and why does it keep ignoring us?
It turns out the universe is full of weird things that don't make any sense. But Cham and Whiteson make a compelling case that the questions we can't answer are as interesting as the ones we can.
This fully illustrated introduction to the biggest mysteries in physics also helpfully demystifies many complicated things we do know about, from quarks and neutrinos to gravitational waves and exploding black holes. With equal doses of humor and delight, Cham and Whiteson invite us to see the universe as a possibly boundless expanse of uncharted territory that's still ours to ex

We Have No Idea: A Guide to the Unknown Universe de Jorge Cham

  1. 00
    Astrophysics for Young People in a Hurry de Neil deGrasse Tyson (themulhern)
    themulhern: More-or-less the same topic, both have a light-sh treatment.
  2. 00
    Astrophysics for People in a Hurry de Neil deGrasse Tyson (themulhern)
    themulhern: Both have a lightish treatment of similar topics. I think "We Have no Idea" has more verve, though.
  3. 00
    Change Is the Only Constant: The Wisdom of Calculus in a Madcap World de Ben Orlin (themulhern)
    themulhern: Science or math with jokes and stick figures.

Like a lot of times when I read or watch science material that is over my head, I think I didn't learn very much. I enjoyed the art & it was fun. ( )

The sound effects were super annoying. ( )
  Castinet | Dec 11, 2022 |
Very well done mix of science and humor that covers how much we know and don't know about the Universe. Really eye opening! ( )
