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. 150 Word Bio for literary engagements: Ransom Stephens is a popular science writer, speaker, physicist, and novelist.

His second novel, The Sensory Deception, an enviro-techno thriller set 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.

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? Mission
