OUR AUTHORS
James Unwin caught the interest of adults with his writings on black holes in the solar system and the imagination of small children with his rhymes about cats that transform into stars. He grew up in the North of England, was educated at Manchester and Oxford, and now works as a professor in Chicago with his wife Laura and two fantastic boys. Prof. Unwin is known amongst the physics community for his proposal of a black whole being in our solar system.
