Editorial Reviews

It was fun to read about my own experiment in poems and short stories. I recognized it immediately even though the particles talked and had feelings. It was entertaining to imagine myself one of the main characters, a proton in a hydrogen atom hanging on for dear life to her electron as she was propelled into the particle accelerator.

The stories were creative and very interesting. Anyone interested in particle physics or "where our universe came from" would be interested in this collection. This collection of stories and poems was wonderful.
