Description: Enjoy Our Universe is a guide for an enjoyable visit to the Universe. The " Universe" refers to all "observable things " ranging in size from the entire cosmos to elementary particles. This small tome on fundamental physics cosmology Higgs bosons time travel and all that 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. In descriptions of our Universe and of the way it functions beauty is a recurring word. In an attempt to portray its beauty from the eyes of the beholder the book is profusely illustrated. Its offbeat tongue - in - cheek illustrations greatly enhance its readability particularly in those chapters whose understanding admittedly requires a little extra effort. This book's idiosyncracies remind us of our own smallness and eccentricities even as we read about the logic function and magnificence of the Universe.
