The only thing we can be sure of about the future is that it will be absolutely fantastic.

Five, four, three, two, one. on. A podcast about how we imagine and how what we imagine shapes what we do.

From the Arthur C. Clark Center for Human Imagination at U.S. San Diego.

I'm Patrick Coleman, and today we're bringing you a special bonus episode with our

Associate Director Brian Keating speaking to the beloved creator of PhD Comics

Jorge Cham and the UC Irvine physicist Daniel Whitson about their new book,

We Have No Idea, a Guide to the Unknown Universe.

It has a mix of Cham's witty illustrations and accessible writing to guide us into the aspects of the

Cosmos that our science still is unable to pin down.

A fantastic and really enjoyable way to stretch the imagination.

Cham and Weitzen will be joining us at the Clark Center on May 8th,

along with USC physicist Clifford Johnson,

who wrote and illustrated the graphic non-fiction book, The Dialogues, Conversations About the Nature of the Universe, published by MIT Press.

It'll be an evening of graphic science, so if you're in the the area please do come check it out.

So I'm speaking with Jorge Cham and Daniel Weitzen authors of the fantastic but this is going to become a collector's item soon because this is the hard cover

and we at the Arthur C. Clark Center for Human Imagination are delighted to be hosting an event on 8 2018 which

has a bunch of your paper back.

So anyone, what are you guys up to you and we're going to talk a lot about the book. I know you guys are

pressed for time you're doing a bunch of media tours but tell me what's going on.
