![]() ![]() Elegant theories, she observes, don’t explain dark matter and dark energy, or how to find multiverses. Though physicists from Newton to Einstein have prized mathematical beauty in theories, Hossenfelder sees this belief as a dangerous limitation. But it also predicts that more particles should be found at energies just above where physicists discovered the Higgs boson, but none have yet been discovered. ![]() Supersymmetry theory, she writes, is accepted because it fits so well into previous theories. ![]() Hossenfelder begins with supersymmetry and the standard model of particle physics, created to explain all the elementary particles discovered in the 20th century. Science writer and researcher Hossenfelder argues persuasively that physics has stalled because of a focus on mathematical “elegance” rather than reality. ![]()

Just turn my way”She eventually gave directions, but it amazed me how hard it is for a woman to put herself in someone else’s shoes, even if she wants to. It went something like this: Her: “When you come to that traffic light, turn over to me.” Me: “What do you mean?” Her: “Just turn here towards me.” Me: “How the hell am I supposed to know which way is that? Left or right?” Her: “I don’t know.

And A Fire Upon the Deep is one of the most amazing science fiction novels ever written. Frankly, when I first read “The Blabber” I didn’t think Vinge or anyone else could really deliver on that promise. ![]() In that story, Vinge gave us a glimpse - from the edge of the Slow Zone - of what an amazing place the near-Singularity of the Beyond would be like. Both of these latter stories are set in in Vinge’s Zone of Thoughts universe, and “The Blabber” was the first peek we had into that universe. ![]() An analogy could be drawn, I felt, between this relationship and the relationship between “The Blabber” and A Fire Upon the Deep. Rainbows End also saw Vinge returning to a fictional universe which had been the setting for two excellent short stories: “Fast Time at Fairmont High” and “Synthetic Serendipity”. If Rainbows End followed that pattern, it was going to be a tremendous book. It seemed to me that Rainbows Endwas the perfect storm:įor starters, Vernor Vinge was an author who could truly boast that every single novel he’d ever written was better than the one he’d written before: The Witling was better than Grimm’s World The Peace Warwas better than The Witling Marooned in Realtime was better than The Peace War A Fire Upon the Deep was better than Marooned in Realtime and A Deepness in the Sky was better than A Fire Upon the Deep. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() This could be the end for Moira, but the government has need of her skills.

I'm a fan of the enemies-to-lovers trope, and Kathleen had good reason to dislike Devon because of his callous insensitivity and utter selfishness. He intends to sell it piecemeal, and kick out its tenants, including Kathleen and his sisters, Helen, Cassandra, and Pandora. His cousin, Devon Ravenel, inherits the estate upon Theo's passing, and he is less than pleased with the estate's conditions and debts. She's that good.ĬOLD-HEARTED RAKE features Kathleen, Lady Trenear, newly widowed after her husband, Theo Ravenel fell from an unbroken horse while drunk. ![]() My tastes often don't align with what's popular, and Kleypas is such a great writer, that it really is shocking for me when I read something of hers that I don't like because it's such a rare occurrence. I put off reading COLD-HEARTED RAKE for a while, but because I love Lisa Kleypas I wanted to give it a try. But then the reviews for the first book in her new Ravenels series started coming in.and they were less than stellar. When she started writing historical romance again, I was so excited. Then she took a hiatus from historical romance, working on her contemporary series, Friday Harbor and the Travises. I loved her Gamblers series, and then her Wallflowers series. ![]() Like so many others, Lisa Kleypas was my "gateway drug" into the historical romance genre. ![]() ![]() ![]() Why this important first has been forgotten is a mystery, but celebrating it today is critical.
