Love this post, Dr. Krauss. I especially loved this part: “As I have often said, the words “I don’t know” are an invitation to discover, and all parents and teachers, as well as politicians, should be encouraged to use them more. If we don’t accept the current limits of our knowledge, we will never move beyond them.”
Not knowing, and being able to admit that, is how all verifiable knowledge has been produced through human history. There is no shame on not knowing and like you said, I wish more people felt comfortable saying so. I look forward to your book, as I love challenging my imagination. As a side bar, your book on Richard Feynman came in yesterday and I look forward to reading it
Have you retired from activity as a theoretical physicist in order to enlighten us, talk to us about your thoughts and concerns, the public. It seems so. Physics is demanding work, and time consuming I'd guess.
This is great news. I am looking forward to all of the excerpts to get in touch with the unknowns😊 and hope some pages will be available soon.

This topic fascinates me, and I was actually searching for a book covering this topic a while back.
I found the book We Have No Idea: A Guide to the Unknown Universe by Jorge Cham and Daniel Whiteson and enjoyed it a lot.
Looking forward to reading your version also
This is what you do best. Please stay on course, if you know what I mean.
