      Particle physicist Daniel Whiteson has teamed up with PHD Comics creator Jorge Cham to produce an intriguing new book. We Have No Idea: a Guide to the Unknown Universe uses humour and cartoons to introduce some of the deepest unknown questions of physics. The book combine’s Cham’s signature sketches with explanations of the big scientific questions that have left leading physicists scratching their heads for decades. In the August 2017 issue of Physics World, Whiteson writes about his experiences producing the book and what he hopes it can achieve. You can read that article here: “When goofing off is good“.
