Jorge Cham & Daniel Whiteson: Frequently Asked Questions About The Universe ​(#192)

You’ve got questions: about space, time, gravity, and the odds of
meeting your older self inside a wormhole. All the answers you need
are right here. From the dynamic duo that brought you WE HABE NO
IDEA comes FAQs ABOUT THE UNIVERSE!!! As a species, we may not
agree on much, but one thing brings us all together: a need to
know. We all wonder, and deep down we all have the same big
questions. Why can’t I travel back in time? Where did the universe
come from? What’s inside a black hole? Can I rearrange the
particles in my cat and turn it into a dog?
Researcher-turned-cartoonist Jorge Cham and physics professor
Daniel Whiteson are experts at explaining science in ways we can
all understand, in their books and on their popular podcast, Daniel
and Jorge Explain the Universe. With their signature blend of humor
and oh-now-I-get-it clarity, Jorge and Daniel offer short,
accessible, and lighthearted answers to some of the most common,
most outrageous, and most profound questions about the universe
they’ve received. This witty, entertaining, and fully illustrated
book is an essential troubleshooting guide for the perplexing
aspects of reality, big and small, from the invisible particles
that make up your body to the identical version of you currently
reading this exact sentence in the corner of some other galaxy. If
the universe came with an FAQ, this would be it. Get Frequently
