Warp Speed Ahead
This post explains the idea of a warp drive, the problems associated with the classic construction of one and a new formulation which now makes warp drives possible without breaking the laws of physics.

The Future of Humanity #2
The second post looking to the future of human civilisation and the risks facing our species.
Solving the Einstein Equation
A post discussing the Einstein equation, the systems for which it can be solved exactly as well as the techniques used to find approximate solutions to more complicated spacetimes.
Black Holes: #7 In the Middle
A short post discussing the possible existence of intermediate mass black holes and why we want to find them.
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.
Collision Course
The Future Circular Collider aims to enhance our understanding of the universe with particle collisions at an energy far greater than the Large Hadron Collider’s.
Black Holes: #4 Perturbing
A continuation in the series on Black Holes, examining the Black Hole Stability Conjecture. Asking whether, when black holes are disturbed they return to their stable state after spewing out gravitational waves.
Not your “general” relativity
A post describing Einstein-Cartan theory; an alternative to Einstein’s General Relativity which could more closely describe the universe, as well as removing some of the big problems posed by general relativity.
