Marcus Chown explores the way that the mathematical equations of physics led us to foresee the existence of previously unknown things, and then to verify that they are real. His nine case studies include Le Verrier ‘finding†Neptune, Maxwellâ€s electromagnetic waves and Diracâ€s anti-particles, as well as Fred Hoyleâ€s less well-known suggestion that stars create carbon.

Marcus Chown is an award-winning writer and broadcaster. Formerly a radio astronomer at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, he is currently cosmology consultant of the weekly science magazine New Scientist. His most recent books are We Need to Talk About Kelvin, Quantum Theory Cannot Hurt You and The Never-Ending Days of Being Dead. He has also written a work for children, Felicity Frobisher and the Three-Headed Aldebaran Dust Devil.
