Question: Starry Messenger was about which father of modern physics?

Context paragraphs:
The Dancing Wu Li Masters: The Dancing Wu Li Masters is a 1979 book by Gary Zukav, a popular science work exploring modern physics, and quantum phenomena in particular.  It was awarded a 1980 U.S. National Book Award in category of Science.  Although it explores empirical topics in modern physics research, "The Dancing Wu Li Masters" gained attention for leveraging metaphors taken from eastern spiritual movements, in particular the Huayen school of Buddhism with the monk Fazang's treatise on The Golden Lion, to explain quantum phenomena and has been regarded by some reviewers as a New Age work, although the book is mostly concerned with the work of pioneers in western physics down through the ages.

Modern Physics Letters A: Modern Physics Letters A (MPLA) is the first in a series of journals published by World Scientific under the "Modern Physics Letters" moniker.  It covers specifically papers and research on gravitation, cosmology, nuclear physics, and particles and fields.

Starry Messenger (picture book): Starry Messenger, about Galileo Galilei, is a children’s picture book written and illustrated by Peter Sis in 1996.  It is a 1997 Caldecott Honor book.  Through the use of his illustrations, Peter Sis documents different stages of life of the widely acknowledged scientist Galileo Galilei.

Galileo Galilei: Galileo Galilei (] ; 15 February 1564 – 8 January 1642) was an Italian polymath: astronomer, physicist, engineer, philosopher, and mathematician.  He has been called the "father of observational astronomy", the "father of modern physics", the "father of the scientific method", and the "father of science".  Galileo studied speed and velocity, gravity and free fall, the principle of relativity, inertia, projectile motion and also worked in applied science and technology, describing the properties of pendulums and "hydrostatic balances", inventing the thermoscope and various military compasses, and using the telescope (a Dutch optical instrument) for scientific observations of celestial objects.

History of physics: Physics (from the Ancient Greek φύσις "physis" meaning "nature") is the fundamental branch of science that developed out of the study of nature and philosophy known, until around the end of the 19th century, as "natural philosophy".  Today, physics is ultimately defined as the study of matter, energy and the relationships between them.  Physics is, in some senses, the oldest and most basic pure science; its discoveries find applications throughout the natural sciences, since matter and energy are the basic constituents of the natural world.  The other sciences are generally more limited in their scope and may be considered branches that have split off from physics to become sciences in their own right.  Physics today may be divided loosely into classical physics and modern physics.

Foundations of Physics: Foundations of Physics is a monthly journal "devoted to the conceptual bases and fundamental theories of modern physics and cosmology, emphasizing the logical, methodological, and philosophical premises of modern physical theories and procedures".  The journal publishes results and observations based on fundamental questions from all fields of physics, including: quantum mechanics, quantum field theory, special relativity, general relativity, string theory, M-theory, cosmology, thermodynamics, statistical physics, and quantum gravity

Modern physics: Modern physics is the post-Newtonian conception of physics.  It implies that classical descriptions of phenomena are lacking, and that an accurate, "modern", description of nature requires theories to incorporate elements of quantum mechanics or Einsteinian relativity, or both.  In general, the term is used to refer to any branch of physics either developed in the early 20th century and onwards, or branches greatly influenced by early 20th century physics.

Modern Physics and Ancient Faith: Modern Physics and Ancient Faith (2003) is a book by Stephen M. Barr, a physicist from the University of Delaware and frequent contributor to First Things.  This book is "an extended attack" on what Barr calls scientific materialism.  National Review says of the book: "[A] lucid and engaging survey of modern physics and its relation to religious belief. . . .  Barr has produced a stunning tour de force . . . [a] scientific and philosophical breakthrough."

Sidereus Nuncius: Sidereus Nuncius (usually "Sidereal Messenger", also "Starry Messenger" or "Sidereal Message") is a short astronomical treatise (or "pamphlet") published in New Latin by Galileo Galilei on March 13, 1610.  It was the first published scientific work based on observations made through a telescope, and it contains the results of Galileo's early observations of the imperfect and mountainous Moon, the hundreds of stars that were unable to be seen in either the Milky Way or certain constellations with the naked eye, and the Medicean Stars that appeared to be circling Jupiter.

The New Group: The New Group is an artist-driven company with a commitment to developing and producing powerful, contemporary theater.  Founded by Artistic Director Scott Elliott, The New Group produced its first play, Mike Leigh's "Ecstasy", in 1995.  Notable productions include "This Is Our Youth", "Curtains", "Goose Pimples", "Aunt Dan and Lemon", "Hurlyburly", "Abigail's Party", "Rafta, Rafta...", "The Starry Messenger", and "A Lie of the Mind, The Kid, Intimacy, The Sticks and Bones, and The Spoils.
