We Have No Idea: A Guide to the Unknown Universe

Some good information and explanation, but rather too cutesy for my taste. The footnotes are not worth reading.

If you like your physics with a side of dad-joke level puns, then this is totally the book for you. It's a fun romp through some of the wilder aspects of physics, though if you've got a fairly high level of understanding to start with then this book might feel like something of a review. For those who don't know physics at all, I'd worry that they might not be able to distinguish some of the punnier jokes, but I think most people should be able to parse it out. Overall a fun read to get you thinking, with lots of interesting concepts. I highly recommend reading it in conjunction with The Three Body Problem by Cixin Liu because a lot of the crazier topics have a fair bit of overlap.

This book is mostly targeted towards the interested enthusiast, someone who may not have the formal education, but is somewhat familiar with at least some of the subjects.

For this reason, the book doesn't go into great detail on any of the covered subjects and avoids the use of equations, but does include a detailed bibliography where you can find more information.

I would have liked a little more depth in some areas personally, but I think the book accomplishes what the authors set out to do.

And hey, I liked the humor. So sue me. :D
