Biographies
Introduction text:
Our speaker today is Ransom Stephens, a writer
and physicist.
60 Word Bio:
Ransom Stephens is a professor of particle
physics turned writer and speaker. He discovered
a new type of matter, was on the team that
discovered the top quark, led an engineering
commando team in conquering complex technical
and marketing problems for a Fortune 500
Company and now makes a living as a novelist,
speaker and high tech consultant.
100 Word Bio for business engagements:
Ransom Stephens, Ph.D., led an engineering
commando team to the solutions of complex
problems in noise analysis and marketing of
those solutions. He is the author of over two-hundred articles in the electronics industry, science
journals, and magazines on subjects ranging from quantum physics to parenting teens. As a physics
professor, he worked on experiments in laboratories across the United States and Europe, discovered a
new type of matter and was on the team that discovered the top quark. As high tech consultant, he
specializes in helping electrical engineers extracting signals from noise and has developed a reputation
for delivering a clear understanding of complex topics.
60 Word Bio for college engagements:
Ransom Stephens, Ph.D., has worked on experiments at SLAC, Fermilab and CERN; discovered a
new type of matter formed by the fusion of two photons, made the most precise measurements of rare
bottom quark decays in the world, and was on the team that
discovered the top quark. His now a novelist, high tech
consultant, and career development speaker.
135 Word Bio for college engagements:
Ransom Stephens, Ph.D., has pursued greatness since he
was ten years old and has gotten close a few times. As a
physics professor, he worked on experiments in
laboratories across the United States and Europe,
discovered a new type of matter and was on the team that
discovered the top quark; as an engineer, he directed
advanced technology for a wireless-web startup and led an
engineering commando team at a Fortune 500 company to
the solution of a timing noise problem that enabled
technologies that are only now starting to emerge. As an
author, his novel, The God Patent, brought atheists and
theists together with a low faith concept of the soul. He has
a unique take on life, the universe, and everything that
somehow encourages people to understand why they
should pursue their greatest ambitions.
53 Word Bio for literary engagements:
Ransom Stephens first novel, The God Patent, is the story of a laid-off, deadbeat-dad engineer trying to
rebuild his life who gets caught between science and religion in a battle over the origin of the universe
and the existence of the soul. His second novel, The Sensory Deception , should be ready this summer.
80 Word Bio for literary engagements:
Ransom Stephens is a popular science writer, speaker, physicist, and novelist. He’s written over 300
articles on impossible subjects like quantum physics and parenting teenagers, produces events for
Litquake, and co-produces two literary series. His first novel, The God Patent, was “the first debut novel
to emerge from the new paradigm of online publishing” according to the SF Chronicle and has spent
over a year on several top ten lists. His second novel, The Sensory Deception, should be out this
summer.

in Silicon Valley that takes you to the horn of Africa, the rainforests of Brazil, and puts you in the
firsthand experience of a battle between Earth's two greatest predators. It should be out this summer.

Clarity of method, thought, and philosophy
My mission as a speaker is to provide people the perspective and analytical tools necessary to make
life and career decisions that will enable them to fulfill their greatest potential.
I apply the methods of physics to everything I do. My education, career, business, and high tech
speeches and seminars show how to make decisions and solve problems with an appreciation for how
the universe works; my popular science speeches bring relevant up-to-date research to the interested
laymen in cultural and historical as well as scientific contexts; and my novels integrate accurate,
cutting-edge science and technology.
It’s more than a metaphor
•
Clarity of thought provides the perspective we need to approach big complex decisions.
•
And I’m impatient. I like novels with multi-dimensional characters and plots that move. I like speeches
that have a point and get to it fast, but without taking things too seriously.
•
I believe in the power of a well placed wisecrack. Life independent of humor is, well, it’s just not funny
and if we’re not having fun, then why bother?
