WE HAVE NO IDEA
A Guide to the Unknown Universe
In WE HAVE NO IDEA, the scientist/academic/web artist/combo of Jorge Cham and Daniel Whiteson will explore in language as smart as it is entertaining all the big things you would think we should know about the world by now, but actually don't.
Jorge and Daniel will explain what the biggest unknowns in the Universe are according to physicists, why these things are still mysteries, and what a lot of smart people are doing to figure out the answers. What is 95% of the Universe made out of? What is time? Why does time flow in only one direction? Readers of this book will come away with a deeper grasp of how much there is yet for our species to discover about our own world and the larger universe, and will gain a clue as to why we don't (yet) have a clue.
The book will be approximately 250 pages, most of it written text with fun comic illustrations that will explain and illuminate each of the topics covered.
Jorge Cham has a Ph.D. in Robotics/Mechanical Engineering from Stanford University and his work has been featured in The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Atlantic, Scientific American and many other places. He is the creator of the popular online comic strip Piled Higher and Deeper (a.k.a. PHD Comics, 7 million annual readers).
Daniel Whiteson is a Professor of Physics at The University of California at Irvine doing research at CERN's famous hadron collider (the European Organization for Nuclear Research). Together, they have collaborated on comics and explainer videos that have received millions of views, appeared in major news outlets, and will air on PBS in January 2016. They have given popular lectures around the world.
