 munity and CERN Alumni and Retirees\, therefore physical attendance will r
 equire having a valid CERN access card. \nCERN Alumni should use this fo
 rm to request CERN access cards.\n\nThe author of the new book "Space Tim
 es Matter: One Hundred Short Stories About the Universe" will give a talk 
 at the CERN Library:\n\nDo you wonder how the sun and stars work and what 
 are subatomic particles? Have you heard of dark matter and dark energy but
  don't know what they are? Neither do physicists\, so join the club. What 
 is space\, what is time\, and is it forever? How come the universe is just
  right for life\, and are there other universes? Welcome to the frontiers 
 of knowledge!\nThe "flash non-fiction" stories in the book could be used b
 y science teachers to inspire their classes to dig deeper. No math is requ
 ired\; there are (almost) no equations. The collection concludes with eigh
 teen original science poems.\nThe event will be followed by a Q&A and sign
 ing sessions. The book is available from the CERN Library.\n\nAbout the au
