Frequently Asked Questions

Why did you make this website?

A curiosity about HTML, a feeling that this is the sort of thing you do when you get onto a university's payroll, and a profound contempt for Web 2.0.

How would you explain your research to a five-year-old?

Over a period of several years.

What made you want to become a physicist?

Curiosity, enoying a challenge and far too much Doctor Who.

To what extent do you believe the reference to adrenochrome in the Sisters of Mercy's eponymous 1982 B-side, synergised with the distinctly post-punk instrumentation, is intended to evoke Hunter S. Thompson's Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, heralding the West's impending disillusionment with punk ideals in the early 1980s, just as Thompson's book had chronicled the hippie dream's demise a decade prior?

Trust me, you do not want to let me go there.
