Christoph Schiller, born in
1960, has no clear nationality. Raised in Varese, he studied physics at
the Universität Stuttgart and received his Ph.D. in physics at the
Université Libre de Bruxelles, in the department of Ilya
Prigogine. He thinks that exploring physics can give more pleasure
than making love - and he explains how in the present text. He started the
project in Yokohama, wrote most of the text in Eindhoven, and parts of it
in Berlin, Bruxelles/Brussel, München, Paris and Varese. His
interests lead him to a career through various institutions, some of which
guarded. He is regularly found outside them, giving talks on themes from
the text. He is married and has a daughter and a son. (Photo copyright Christoph
