In this collection of one hundred short science stories, Albrow addresses these and many other fascinating questions. The pieces are meant to be self-contained, so there is some repetition; you are invited to browse, read one today and another tomorrow, in no particular order. These stories could be used by a science teacher to inspire a class to dig deeper. No math is required; there are (almost) no equations. Some stories about space and time include Albrow's original ideas. The collection concludes with eighteen original science poems.
Michael Albrow has been doing research in subatomic particle physics for sixty years since graduating from Birmingham University (United Kingdom) in 1964. A former professor at Stockholm University, he is now scientist emeritus at Fermilab near Chicago and is a fellow of the Institute of Physics and the Amercan Physical Society for outreach and education. Albrow was on the teams that discovered the heaviest known particle, the top quark, at Fermilab, and the Higgs Boson (the "God particle") at CERN in Geneva.
