Get to know Me

A UK native who migrated to Australia in 1975, I hold both a bachelor's and a master's degree with a background spanning education, modern history, and journalism. Outside of my professional life, I pursue my passion for cosmology and philosophy. My worldview is built on a foundation of logic, with Stoicism as my guiding philosophy.

My work is driven by a deep unease with the prevailing narratives of modern cosmology. I struggle with the idea of the universe's ultimate 'heat death', finding it a logical inconsistency. Furthermore, I believe that by labelling cosmic mysteries as 'dark matter' or 'dark energy', we risk treating placeholders as definitive discoveries. This not only misleads the public but also stifles the very inquiry needed for us to find the real answers.

Therefore, I build my theories on direct observations and the logical processes they reveal.

My mission

Driven by a core belief in logic and the principles of Stoicism, I embark on a mission to free our understanding of the universe from the constraints of human pessimism. I believe that by labeling mysteries like "dark matter" and "dark energy," we project our own need for beginnings and endings onto the cosmos. My mission is to open a new conversation about the universe's destiny, one rooted in a logical process that reveals not a cold and lonely conclusion, but a dynamic, self-sustaining cycle of cosmic renewal.

My vision

My vision is of a world where our understanding of the universe is not limited by our own preconceived notions of finality and despair. I envision a cosmology unburdened by placeholders, where logic and direct observation are the sole arbiters of truth. My ultimate hope is to inspire a new generation to see the universe not as a one-and-done event destined for a cold death, but as a resilient, unending system of perpetual rebirth—a cosmos held together by Gravity's Embrace.
