'This witty book reveals the humbling vastness of our ignorance about the universe, along with charming insights into what we actually do understand' Carlo Rovelli, author of Seven Brief Lessons on Physics and Reality Is Not What It SeemsIn our small corner of the universe, we know how some matter behaves most of the time and what even less of it looks like, and we have some good guesses about where it all came from. But we really have no clue what's going on. In fact, we don't know what about 95% of the universe is made of. So what happens when a cartoonist and a physicist walk into this strange, mostly unknown universe? Jorge Cham and Daniel Whiteson gleefully explore the biggest unknowns, why these things are still mysteries, and what a lot of smart people are doing to figure out the answers (or at least ask the right questions). While they're at it, they helpfully demystify many complicated things we do know about, from quarks and neutrinos to gravitational waves and exploding black holes. With equal doses of humour and delight, they invite us to see the universe as a vast expanse of mostly uncharted territory that's still ours to explore. This is a book for fans of Brian Cox and What If. This highly entertaining highly illustrated book is perfect for anyone who's curious about all the great mysteries physicists are going to solve next.

Eleven-year-old Oliver wants to be an astrophysicist and explain the wonders of the universe . . . to anyone who will listen to him, in this brand-new fully illustrated series.

Eine unterhaltsame Reise durch die Rätsel des UniversumsDas Wissen der Menschheit über das Universum ist voller Löcher. Und dabei handelt es sich nicht um kleine Lücken, sondern um riesige Krater in unserem Verständnis davon, wie das Weltall funktioniert. Der Comiczeichner Jorge Cham und der Teilchenphysiker Daniel Whiteson haben eine witzige, leicht verständliche und dabei höchst fundierte Form gefunden, zu erklären, was wir über das Universum alles nicht wissen. Wie schon in ihren beliebten YouTube-Videos liefern sie, unterstützt durch Infographiken und Cartoons, unterhaltsame und leicht verständliche wissenschaftliche Erklärungen zu Fragen wie: Warum hält sich das Universum an eine Geschwindigkeitsbegrenzung? Warum sind wir nicht alle aus Antimaterie? Was (oder wer) greift die Erde mit winzigen, superschnellen Partikeln an? Das perfekte Buch für Wissensdurstige aller Altersstufen.
