		<description><![CDATA[When I started writing my novel, I knew I wanted to explore the effect of an apparent challenge to the Big Bang theory upon an individual character as well as the astronomical community as a whole. But what form could this challenge take? The theory is based on several well-established pieces of observational evidence, principally <span class="excerpt-link"><a href="http://www.pippagoldschmidt.co.uk/2013/05/galaxies-metaphors-and-what-not/">Read more &#187;</a></span>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[People have asked me what genre I write, and I’ve often been introduced at events as a science fiction author. It’s not how I see myself, but who’s to say that they’re wrong? The boundary between ‘literary’ fiction (which I think I write) and science fiction is so blurred it may not be a proper <span class="excerpt-link"><a href="http://www.pippagoldschmidt.co.uk/2013/05/im-not-a-boy-scout/">Read more &#187;</a></span>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My first novel ‘The Falling Sky’ is published today by Freight Books. This is the latest stage in a long journey because I started writing it several years ago, and I still can&#8217;t quite believe that it actually exists as a book. I wrote it because I wanted to convey what it feels like to <span class="excerpt-link"><a href="http://www.pippagoldschmidt.co.uk/2013/04/the-falling-sky/">Read more &#187;</a></span>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Now that my novel is done and dusted I’ve been concentrating on writing a collection of short stories inspired by science. One of the stories is about Brecht writing, and then rewriting, his play ‘Life of Galileo’ (Timely, because there’s a new production by the RSC). Brecht wrote the first version of this play in <span class="excerpt-link"><a href="http://www.pippagoldschmidt.co.uk/2013/02/brecht-and-galileo-and-us/">Read more &#187;</a></span>]]></description>

It’s a Chilean documentary about the development of astronomical observatories in that country throughout the 70s and 80s, at the same time as the Pinochet regime was persecuting thousands of people and incarcerating them in concentration camps.

		<description><![CDATA[A lot has been written about Alan Turing this year; 23 June 2012 is the centenary of his birth. During his life, much of his work was secret and it’s only in the past few years that we’ve been able to appreciate fully the breadth of his contributions to mathematics, computer science, philosophy, and biology. <span class="excerpt-link"><a href="http://www.pippagoldschmidt.co.uk/2012/06/would-you-pass-the-turing-test/">Read more &#187;</a></span>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The recent experimental result showing that one type of neutrino can apparently travel faster than light is looking rather dubious. The result was first reported in September from the Gran Sasso lab in Italy, which claimed to have detected neutrinos from CERN a few billionths of a second quicker than was predicted.
