La comprensión humana del mundo físico está llena de lagunas. No son pequeñas brechas que puedas ignorar: son enormes vacíos en nuestras nociones básicas de cómo funciona el mundo.El creador de PHD Comics Jorge Cham y el fisico de particulas Daniel Whiteson se han unido para explorar todo lo que no sabemos sobre el universo: los enormes agujeros en nuestro conocimiento del cosmos.Esta introduccion completamente ilustrada a los mayores misterios de la fisica tambien ayuda a desmitificar muchas cosas complicadas que conocemos, desde quarks y neutrinos hasta ondas gravitacionales y agujeros negros explosivos.Con humor y deleite, Cham y Whiteson nos invitan a ver el universo como una extension posiblemente ilimitada de territorio inexplorado que aun esta a nuestro alcance para explorar.

En este primer libro de una serie de cómics que mezclan la ficción y no ficción de una manera muy divertida, conocemos a Oliver, un chico de 11 años, bastante distraído pero con una idea fija: ser astrofisico, no sabe muy bien por que o que significa, pero esta obsesionado con la ciencia.Oliver no esta solo en esta aventura, su maestro, el Dr. Howard, que es algo regañon y severo, le enseñara todo lo que debe saber sobre el Universo, desde la teoria del Big Bang, hasta las supernovas y mas allaEsto cada vez se pone mas dificil, ademas de conceptos complejos, Oliver tiene que lidiar con altibajos en su familia y con la complicada vida escolarCon sus propias palabras, haciendo analogias de lo mas chistosas, pero acertadas, OIiver explica a otros chicos todo lo que ha aprendido.

Delightful, funny, and yet rigorous and intelligent CARLO ROVELLIYouve 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 cant I travel back in time? Where did the universe come from? Whats 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 theyve 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.

Prepare to learn everything we still dont know about our strange and mysterious universe Humanitys understanding of the physical world is full of gaps. Not tiny little gaps you can safely ignore 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 dont 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 arent 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 dont make any sense. But Cham and Whiteson make a compelling case that the questions we cant 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 thats still ours to explore.

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.

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 whats going on. In fact, we dont 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 theyre 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 thats 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 whos curious about all the great mysteries physicists are going to solve next.
