Black Holes: #6 Ancient Relics
A post exploring the possible consequences of Primordial Black Holes, ancient types of Black Holes born not out of the collapse of stars, but out of the Big Bang itself.
Inspirational Systems
A post explaining the research area of my new PhD – gravitational wave emission from binary sources, their detection and the key insights they provide into the nature of gravity.
Black Holes: #5 Fuzzballs
A post explaining the fuzzball, believed by string theorists to be the true quantum description of a black hole. The theory seeks to resolve the famous information paradox and eliminate the existence of troublesome singularities at the centre of black holes.
Black Holes: #3 The Second Horizon
A continuation in the series on Black Holes, examining the inner horizon known as the Cauchy Horizon and its implications on space and time.
Black Holes: #1 Falling In
Ever wondered what would happen if you had the nasty fate of falling into a black hole or what you would see happen if you were at a safe distance watching your friend fall in? Well read on and find out…

I’d rather be late to the party, than not arrive at all
Happy Sunday my friends. Over the last week the science community has been buzzing. In many many ways this is great… I love it when the front page of newspapers are […]
When a great man speaks
This post is to serve as a recommendation to anyone who might not have yet caught the Reith Lectures for 2016 – because they are well worth it. I was […]
Warmth in the darkest of places
Black holes have been a source of fascination for physicists and science generalists for years. There is no way to actually observe what happens in a black hole, due to […]
