No Electron is an Island The universe," the poet Muriel Rukeyser once wrote, "is made of stories, not atoms." This being the science section, you might be tempted to regard that statement as a predictable humanistic rant against cold scientific reality. For the last 300 years, after all, the story that physicists have been telling us is that the shifting shape of the world is made exactly of atoms, irreducible and indestructible nuggets of existence, bouncing around according to Newton's and a few other simple laws. The job of the physicist was simply to elucidate the identity and properties of the elementary particles engaged in this dance. Democritus, who invented the idea of atoms, endowed them simply with mass, shape and motion; today's elementary particles — quarks and electrons — have mass, charge, spin, strangeness and charm, among other properties, but the basic picture remains the same. Or does it? Nowadays physicists — those coldblooded reductionists — are telling a more poetic but no less mathematically rigorous tale. It is a story not of a clockwork world but an entangled interactive world whose constituents derive their identities and properties from one another in endless negotiation — a city, in one physicist's words, of querulous social inhabitants. In other words, they are telling a tale about relationships. Take, for example, a recent calculation in which mass — surely one of the fundamental properties of an elementary particle — seems to conjure itself out of thin mathematical air in a phenomenon that Frank Wilczek, a physicist at M.I.T., calls "mass without mass."

Rukeyser, Muriel (1913-1980), poet Muriel Rukeyser was born in New York, New York, on December 15, 1913. She attended private schools and in 1930-32 was a student at Vassar College. During that time she contributed poems to Poetry magazine and other periodicals. She worked on the staff of the Student Review in 1932-33 and later edited the Housatonic, a literary journal. In 1935 her first volume of poems appeared as Theory of Flight in the Yale Younger Poets series. Her travels over the next few years provided material for the poems in Mediterranean U.S. 1 (1938), and A Turning Wind (1939). Her use of fragmented, emotional imagery is sometimes considered excessive, but her work is noted for its power and acuity. In 1942 she published Willard Gibbs: American Genius, a biography of the 19th-century mathematician and physicist. She supported herself by lecturing and working in film. In addition to several more volumes of poetry, Rukeyser wrote the prose work The Life of Poetry (1949) and several books for children. She also produced another biography, The Traces of Thomas Hariot (1971), and published translations of
