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 is convinced that exploring physics is more fun than making
love - and he explains why in the present text. He started the
project in Yokohama, then wrote most of the text in Eindhoven.
Parts were added 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.
He can be contacted via the suggestion wiki or at christoph@motionmountain.net. (Photo copyright Christoph Schiller.)
