Me, Elsewhere

Beginning 2018, I volition no longer write for Ethan Siegel’s Forbes collection “Starts With a Bang.” Instead, I volition write a semi-regular column for Quanta Magazine, the commencement of which -- almost asymptotically security gravity -- appeared yesterday.

In contrast to Forbes, Quanta Magazine keeps the copyright, which way that the articles I write for them volition non endure mirrored on this blog. You genuinely own got to larn over to their site to read them. But if you lot are interested inward the foundations of physics, own got my discussion that subscribing to Quanta Magazine is good worth your time, non then much because of me, merely because their staff writers own got so-far done an awesome chore to embrace relevant topics without succumbing to hype.

I besides wrote a review of Jim Baggott’s majority “Origins: The Scientific Story of Creation” which appeared in the Jan resultant of Physics World. I much enjoyed Baggott’s writing too promptly bought roughly other 1 of his books. Physics World  doesn’t desire me to repost the review inward text, merely you tin read the PDF here.

Finally, I wrote a contribution to the proceedings of a philosophy workshop I attended final year. In this paper, I summarize my misgivings amongst arguments from finetuning. You tin instantly detect it on the arXiv.

If you lot desire to remain upward to engagement on my writing, follow me on Twitter or on Facebook.
