Let's make this birthday one to remember.

55 years old (Born on May 07, 1970)

Happy birthday, Michael Brooks! May your celebrations defy logic like those "13 Things That Don't Make Sense"—though we're still waiting on answers from you! Your insightful musings in New Scientist and witty explorations into physics have kept us puzzled yet entertained. Hope today is so fun that time travel feels plausible (we're counting on insights for Volume 2!).

Cheers to the man whose compelling writing turns complex science into thrilling narratives, making readers smarter—even while scratching their heads. Wishing a year ahead full of health, laughter—and even more paradoxical discoveries worthy of another bestseller or two!
