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.
Learning to learn
A post briefly exploring machine learning, focusing on some of the different methods used and understanding how they can be the stepping stones to artificial intelligence.
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.
AdS/CFT: a deep duality
A post qualitatively explaining the main ideas behind the AdS/CFT correspondence. The breakthroughs in theoretical physics due to the theory are outlined along with the consequences for how we view our universe.
A System of Plenty
Today we bring together black holes and exoplanets to fantasise over the ultimate solar system with a dark twist.
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.
