Without us guiding you through the weird, scary, confusing and occasionally sticky corners of our universe, where would you be? So before your consciousness comes apart at the seams and you go spiraling off into the astral plane, here's a little more from physicist and author Alexander Boxer.

Alexander Boxer has a doctorate in physics from MIT, a master's degree in the History of Science from Oxford and a bachelors in Classical Language from Yale. His research has been published in the journal Nature Physics. And he's the author of "A Scheme of Heaven: Astrology & the Birth of Science."
