Scientists studying the universe find strange things in two placesâ€"out in space and in their heads. This is the story of how the most imaginative physicists of our time perceive strange features of the universe in advance of the actual discoveries. It is almost a given that physics and cosmology present us with some of the grandest mysteries of all. What weightier questions to ponder than, "How does the universe work?" or "What is the universe made of?" There are any number of bizarre phenomena that could provide clues or even answers to these queries. The strangeness ranges from unusual forms of matter and realms of existence to wild ideas about how time and space are related to one another. Many of these proposals may well turn out to be wrong. But how many will be proven to be right? This book speaks for the scientific theorists who are bold enough to imagine and predict the impossible. New ideas are percolating in their heads every day. One physicist may dream of subatomic particles that could resolve a variety of cosmological conundrums while another may study the likes of "funny energy," which may explain how rapidly the universe is expanding. This is the stuff of Strange Matters. In broad terms, this book is about a variety of discoveries that theorists of the past imagined before the observers and experimenters actually saw them. Moreover, it is about the things that today’s are now imaginingâ€"but haven't yet been discovered or confirmed by the observers. Strange Matters artfully mixes the present with the past and future, reporting from the frontiers of research where history is in the process of being made. Each chapter examines a different step along the twisted path we've walked to gain our rudimentary understanding of the universe, incorporating historical examples of successful "prediscoveries" with current stories that relate brand new ideas. We come to see the universe not only in terms of what has already been discovered, but also in terms of what has yet to be observed. Strange Matters is a guide to the discoveries of the twenty-first century, a series of visions dreamt by the most imaginative scientists of our time merged with the achievements of the pastâ€"to point the way towards even greater accomplishments of the future.

Strange Matters is a collection of tales of fantasy, myth and magic. Some are funny, some are dark, some are both. Some are set in our world, with the skin peeled back to reveal the magical mechanisms beneath. Some are set in fantasy worlds, where instead it’s the reflections of reality which are hidden. All contain matters best described as ‘strange’, because to me, strange matters. This book includes twenty pieces of poetry and fiction (some with mature themes), including: Wordsmith Kate’s night is interrupted by meeting a mute, half-naked Ethiopian boy, which would be fine if he wasn’t being hunted through the streets of London by hyenas. Torc When a group of bikers get lost in a forest, they find that they are not alone. The Firebird Ekaterina wants to be taken seriously by the men of her village, so she sets out to hunt the greatest prey of all… the legendary Firebird. Arcturus A nameless criminal explores his capacity for magic- and empathy- when he’s forced to make unusual acquaintances to escape justice. It Wants To Eat Me The diary entries of a teenage girl who finds an unusual and unwelcome intruder in her dreams. British Gods Two strange figures watch the violence of the London riots unfold and do what they can to help, as only forgotten gods can. Nine Having just died, Andy’s not pleased to find himself in the ancient Egyptian afterlife, where the goddess Bastet wants a word with him. Strange Matters is a journey through many facets of fantasy, all united by a fresh, modern eye for incisive storytelling and magical realism.

These Strange Matters is a short story science-fiction/fantasy collection, offering incredible worlds beyond and even next door. In the South, strange weather matters frequently revolve around hurricanes. EYES IN THE STORM enters the mysterious world of Kill Storm: a society of powerful African women - thought to be myth but hiding in plain sight - who can influence the weather and make hurricanes do their bidding. The leaders of Kill Storm have unlocked the deep secrets and discovered how to create bigger and bigger hurricanes to unleash on the world. Bound by these secrets and others, Agaire and Jamboon struggle to make sense of their place in this fantastical community - and the fight is much more complex than mere meteorology. In FINDER'S FEE, Detective Cal Sinnick is resigned to leading a meager existence on Far Shore, a resort colony decimated by a cataclysmic geological event. For many poisoned by the radiation of the planetoid's tri-suns, death would have been a relief. When one of the world's infected inhabitants comes to him for help locating her missing sister, Sinnick can't say no to the strange job. What he discovers in taking the case is a mysterious and cunning plot to change the course of a vast interstellar empire. A strange partnership comes into play in HUMAN ... KIND OF, which dabbles in matters of time travel. What would happen if you brought together three figures from history and set them on an adventure? The Mother of Nursing, the Father of Assassins and the Iron Horse come to life in an exhilarating tale about who decides the definition of humanity and what it means to be human. NO THIRD CHANCES tells the story of the strange kidnapping of Hazel, a lonely resident of Q'ol - a planet in a far-flung corner of the universe. The matter of Hazel's kidnapping turns into a defense of her world while its shocking history is revealed to her by a secretive Justice of the Peace, which fronts the Systems Alliance that wants to extinguish life on Q'ol to rectify a mistake of the past. POOPED is a twisty tale that takes a strange and horrifying turn for Lajno, an engineer who lands a coveted corporate job helping to open a new planetary frontier. The long journey to Delta Peg becomes a matter of personal torture for Lajno as he deals with his older sister and his fourteen-year-old dog. Both the older woman and the canine have bowel issues. Let's just say things get messy on the trip. Strange tides take us below the surface in UNDERSEE. A self-centered prince has everything except the power he craves so much. To make the grab he believes will unlock that power, he sets sail on an expedition of environmental greed to the mysterious Sea of Shadows. The primary matter on his arrogant agenda is to capture a rare creature, but he gets more than he bargained for in what he thinks is the discovery of a lifetime. We're all drained after a long day on the job. Poor conditions just make matters worse. WARNING LIGHT ignites with a drive home from work during a terrible tempest. The ride sets off a nightmarish chain of events that leads to the unveiling of a dark secret. Refusing to see the strange signs that have punctuated his life, a man learns the truth about a dishonorable and horrific act committed by his father during World War II. It's no longer strange to speak up when you want to be heard. Everyone has a voice in today's world, but you have to use it, especially if you hope to right a wrong. A MONSTROUS SILENCE takes you to a place where the consequences of keeping quiet can be as deadly and harmful as standing up to protect others. We love our pets! We take personal pride in their well-being, but is it strange to wonder what they might think of this whole deal? In CAT CARE, thoughts on the matter definitely run along a two-way street.

Callan Davies presents “strangeness” as a fresh critical paradigm for understanding the construction and performance of Jacobean drama—one that would have been deeply familiar to its playwrights and early audiences. This study brings together cultural analysis, philosophical enquiry, and the history of staged special effects to examine how preoccupation with the strange unites the verbal, visual, and philosophical elements of performance in works by Marston, Shakespeare, Middleton, Dekker, Heywood, and Beaumont and Fletcher. Strangeness in Jacobean Drama therefore offers an alternative model for understanding this important period of English dramatic history that moves beyond categories such as “Shakespeare’s late plays,” “tragicomedy,” or the home of cynical and bloodthirsty tragedies. This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of early modern drama and philosophy, rhetorical studies, and the history of science and technology.
