FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT THE UNIVERSE

Daniel Whiteson

Jorge Cham

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.

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?

Physics professor Daniel Whiteson and researcher-turned-cartoonist Jorge Cham 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 humour 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 been asked.

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.
