Enjoy Our Universe is a guide for an enjoyable visit to the Universe. It is a book on fundamental physics, cosmology, black holes, Higgs bosons, time travel and all that. This small, humorous tome is unlike any other analogous book. Its scientific statements are correct or, at least, they coincide with the opinions held by the vast majority of experts. It establishes clear distinctions between things we know for sure – in the sense of having strong observational support for them – and things that we know that we do not know, or we do not understand. In this sense, it is scientifically honest. This book is intended for as wide an audience as possible. It is profusely illustrated with full color figures. Its tongue-in-cheek drawings enhance its readability, particularly in those chapters whose understanding, admittedly, requires a little extra effort.
