       | Using the same stereoscopic device, he also released with some
       | other people another awesome book:
       | 
       | > Tableaux depicting life in hell, better known as Diableries,
       | were all the rage in nineteenth century France but over the years
       | the stereo images made after those clay tableaux were scattered
       | and their hidden meaning lost. When first published in 2013, this
       | book featured all but two of the 184 scenes in the series.
       | Remarkably, the two lost remaining views have now been found!
       | This 2018 Complete Edition features the full compliment, to be
       | enjoyed just as their creators intended in magnificent 3-D.

         | For an astrophysicist he certainly has some intriguing but

       | Is he doing it in conjunction with d-Ream drummer and
       | astrophysicist Brian Cox?
       | 
       | Are there any other famous scientist/musicians called Brian?

         | Brian Eno developed tape-delay audio tech, released a few
         | mobile apps, is a founder of the Long Now Foundation... not a
         | scientist but definitely a bit science-y.
