简介 Intro

《We Have No Idea: A Guide to the Unknown Universe》—— Jorge Cham / Daniel Whiteson

PHD Comics creator Jorge Cham and particle physicist Daniel Whiteson have teamed up to spelunk through the enormous gaps in our cosmological knowledge, armed with their popular infographics, cartoons, and unusually entertaining and lucid explanations of science.

In We Have No Idea, they explore the biggest unknowns in the universe, 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 humor and delight, they invite us to see the universe as a vast expanse of mostly uncharted territory that\’s still ours to explore.

This entertaining illustrated science primer is the perfect book for anyone who\’s curious about all the big questions physicists are still trying to answer.

这是一本“逆向科普”的科普书。你以为你知道的事情，其实连世界顶尖科学家都不知道。这本书告诉你那些“顶尖科学家都不知道的事情” 。但这并非一本“答案”之书。本书旨在告诉你人类最前沿科学的边界，带领你一起从未知探索到已知

这是一本趣味和严谨并存的科普书。一个科学家，放弃科研，改画漫画。20年后，他邀请一位顶尖科学家共同创作了这本“科普未知”的科普书

这是一本你不看就会“落伍”的科普书。为什么“黑洞” “暗物质” “暗能量”“宇宙”“平行空间”等概念对人类有着深深的吸引力？那是因为它们是“未知”的。只有未知的事物才能勾起人类强大的好奇心而好奇心正是人类发展的源动力。

读者评论 Readers\’ Comments

非常浅显有趣，比起解答了什么问题反而是提出一系列人类尚无法解答的宇宙终极问题更能吊起读者的求知欲。

挺有趣的一本科普书，内容挺好的，作为练习英语的阅读材料很好~

很杰出的科普作品，把高深的物理学知识通过冷笑话讲出来（深知科普难处，所以加一星！）就是知识点有点太稀疏了…

觉得有趣，有时候又会让脑袋瓜疼一下，因为有些地方并不是那么容易理解，且不能用常识去理解；有些地方有点深奥，又很吸引像我这种喜欢想象力的读者，开脑洞乐趣无穷。不管怎样感觉应该列入人生必读书目。
