Bestselling author Pierre St. Clair focuses on anomalies between theory and practice. He won the prestigious Sir J. C. Bose Award 2015 for Investigative Journalism in the field of Science and Technology for his book Cosmology on Trial. Although born in London, at five years of age his family emigrated to Canada. His mother was a cultured lady who sent him for violin and music theory lessons when he was only six. As a teenager his interest in classical violin dwindled. He bought his first guitar, taught himself how to play, formed a band, and began performing locally. Within a few short years he was touring throughout Canada and the US. Music was always his first love, and remains so. His journalism career began as a result of a college girlfriend's mother predicting his success as a writer. The daughter of a missionary in Shanghai, she had grown up in China and pursued an interest in the occult sciences, including palmistry. One Saturday afternoon she asked to see his hand. After a few minutes study she predicted, "One day you'll become an accomplished writer." QUOTES FROM THE AUTHOR "I love digging behind the scenes to find out what is really happening beneath the headlines. That's why I became an investigative journalist." "Current theories about the origin of the universe lack verifiable data. In spite of this, many ideas masquerade as relevant theories and compete for greater elegance just like beauty pageant contestants." "COSMOLOGY ON TRIAL" The book is an all-inclusive overview of cosmology that introduces the reader to unexplained and unsolved mysteries of the universe which are rarely discussed in Academia. The author reveals that Newtonian physics, General Relativity, Quantum Mechanics, and String Theory have still not proven whether Gravity is a wave, a graviton particle, or even a fabric of spacetime. Gravity, the most common force in nature, is not even included in the Standard Model of Physics. NASA physicists admit that 96% of the matter and energy in the universe is a mystery. Can today's cosmology be complete if science only understands 4% of the universe? REVIEWS "Scientific progress and complacency go ill together, and St Clair has done a superb job in actually advancing the cause of real science." M. Lyons - USA "This book simply makes the very strong point that our cosmology of yesteryear was not based on solid evidence, and our cosmology of today isn't either." V. DiCara - Japan
