Like many, I think I have a book “in me” – I started to write down an idea which filtered into my head many years ago, but believed, then, the story demanded a little more credibility to “work”.
It is a fantasy mashing together Greek mythology with particle physics. CERN were beginning to build their huge new accelerator and my plot conjured Erato to deliver a sensual warning system, guiding a scientist away from making an error which could cause, literally, a world-smashing climax for the search for a missing particle.
Had I written 25 years ago, of particles exceeding the speed of light and unseeable fields of force filling all empty space, it would have appeared ridiculous so I deferred my story and waited until published science could catch up with my own lack of knowledge.
Now it seems accepted that the speed of light may not be a boundary and that there may be an connection to universal forces – so, if you are searching for bosons, perhaps the twists of fantasy in my möbiun pathway may, perhaps, a-muse.
Now all I have to do is write it down, so will call on Euterpe to assist. Watch this space
