    Eclipse 2024

    Best of luck to everyone chasing the solar eclipse tomorrow. I hope the weather behaves. If you are close to the line of totality, it is definitely worth making the effort to get there. I blogged about how awesome it was back in 2017 (see: Pre-Eclipse Post, Post-Eclipse

    End of the Universe

    I am working to finish Infinite Imponability Drive as soon as I can. Unfortunately the last two weeks have been so crazy that it’s been hard to set aside more than a few hours to do any writing…

    Imponable Update

    Work on Infinite Imponability Drive continues. I aim to get another chapter up by next weekend. Thank you to everyone who left comments. Sorry I have not been very responsive. I got sidetracked for the last two weeks preparing a talk for the ATOM society on Particle Detectors for the LHC and Beyond, which took rather more of my time than I

Physics of Rainbows · 10:45pm Aug 2nd, 2013

I just added a short appendix to The Art of Rainbow Engineering giving a bit more detail on the science. I did intend to do this when I first wrote the story, but never finished it, as doing diagrams is rather tedious.

Now if anyone in the university asks why I spend so much time on fimfiction, I can say it's a public education project.
I'm currently working on another science themed story which will look at the physics (or lack of) behind the sonic rainboom.
