He is the only person ever to win two Nobel Prizes that he did not have to share with anybody. He worked out why atoms hold together at all. He found the shape a protein folds into, and got it right while the best crystallographers in Britain were getting it wrong. He proved that a disease could...

He is the only English novelist with an adjective. Not a school, not a movement, not a period — an adjective, sitting in the dictionary, available to any journalist describing a slum, a courtroom, or a Christmas. And yet the same writer sits half-read on more shelves than any author alive or...

Jonathan Swift has been filed for three centuries under the heading of misanthropy, which is the one verdict his books refuse to support. He almost never wrote about fools. His targets are competent men doing their work correctly: economists whose arithmetic checks out, projectors with funded...

It could have been almost anything, the story goes, and out of that vast lottery of possible worlds our own came up as the winning ticket, tuned with impossible precision to allow stars, chemistry, and eventually us...

Modern cosmology is populated almost entirely by things no one has ever seen. Dark matter, dark energy, fields and particles known only by their effects: the visible universe floats on a vast reservoir of the inferred. This is not a scandal. It is how ambitious physics has always worked. The...
