Hi there. Just me!

I'm an executive in the sector of building control network technology, with a background in (and a passion for) mathematical physics -- especially:

  • foundations and theory of theories (no: this is not about the elusive, ultimate unified whatsoever)
  • continuum thermomechanics
  • general relativity and cosmology
  • quantum mechanics and quantum information
  • stuff.

"The true-devoted pilgrim is not weary to measure kingdoms with his feeble steps." (Shakespeare, Two Gentlemen of Verona, VII)

Love structure, hate calculation.

"Dishonest math never makes for honest physics."

Clifford Truesdell quotes[edit]

"Such people cannot be answered. It is best to bow to their wisdoms and let them depart." (The Elements of Continuum Mechanics, p. 193, Springer 1966)

As I said: stuff[edit]
