MY RESEARCH

In recent years I have worked in three main areas. These include a) basic physics research, b) physics education studies, and c) communicating science to the broader public. Some recent publications in the first two areas can be found here, and a complete list can be found on my resume. For some examples in category c), see a 7 min long multimedia presentation: “Relativity: Adventures of Albert and Marie,” which was a finalist in the 2005 Pirelli Relativity Challenge. Other examples include my 20 books, the most recent of which include "Eight Preposterous Propositions"(2003) and  "Nine Crazy Ideas in Science: A Few Might Even Be True"(2001).
