Science is often telling tales. Whether in the creation common myths of development or the Big Bang, or in the eureka occasions of science record, narrative just as much as metaphor is a key tool in the scientist's interestingly literary toolkit. Possibly the most interesting use of storyline is the idea experiment, the intuition pump, that pulls on the most instinctive parts of the thoughts to crack normally perplexing problems. From Newton's Bucket to Maxwell's Demon, from Einstein's Lift to Schrodinger's Pet cat, all are examples of 'fiction' used at the best level, not simply to explain, but to deduce, to prove. In this unique anthology, creators have collaborated with leading scientists, to bounce literary, individual narratives against simply theoretical ones, alloying along real tales with abstract ones, to create truly amazing results. Also featuring tales by Annie Clarkson, Marie Louise Cookson, Claire Dean, Andy Hedgecock, Sarah Schofield, Zoe Gilbert, Sandra Alland, Margaret Wilkinson, and Anneliese Mackintosh; plus afterwords by Professors Stewart Boogert, Sarah Bridle, Seth Bullock, Steven France, Roman Frigg, Frank Jackson, Michela Massimi, Tara Shears, Jonathan Wolff and Ana Jofre.
