edit data

I'm a science journalist, author, and broadcaster based in Toronto, Canada. I've written three books so far: My first book, Universe on a T-Shirt, looked at the quest for a unified theory of physics, while In Search of Time explored the physics and philosophy of time.

I'm very excited about my new book, The Science of Shakespeare, to be published this April! This time I turn the clock back 400 years, investigating the period we now call the Scientific Revolution, and looking at the interplay between science and literature in the age of Shakespeare.

The book is published in the U.S. by St. Martin's Press and in Canada by Goose Lane.

Quotes by Dan Falk (?)

“The urge to cram the maximum number of activities into the minimum amount of time, notes French cultural commentator Francois Tournier, makes us “prisoners of the present… If we do not slow down, we risk becoming alienated from our own future.”
― Dan Falk, In Search of Time: The History, Physics, and Philosophy of Time

“it is “rather like throwing a ball in the air and finding it takes a million years to come down again.”)”
― Dan Falk, In Search of Time: The History, Physics, and Philosophy of Time

“TV series Cosmos — all those billions of years that lie ahead offer the opportunity to do a great deal of good. Further, it is quite impressive that with our finite hominid brains we have been able to peer”
― Dan Falk, In Search of Time: The History, Physics, and Philosophy of Time
