I have been a Doctor in an Emergency Room for more than 13 years, so you can believe me when I tell you I've seen people at their best, and at their very worst. Then one night my life changed when they bought in a police officer with four gunshot wounds ... one bullet had penetrated his left eye, exiting at the side of the head in a trail of devastation that left exposed and damaged brain in it's track, another bullet had shattered his clavicle (collarbone) and exited through the scapula (should… Continue

Now the Ekpyrotic Model of the Universe is really interesting.

Basically the Big Bang (not an explosion folks, just an expansion) arose because two of, three dimensional branes (a sort of flat sheet of multidimensional space) collided in another hidden space dimension!

The kinetic energy of these two colliding Universes produced our Big Bang.

This collision was overlaid with a Quantum Ripple which led to Galaxies, Stars, Planets and eventually us (as well as dung beetles).

So, two hidden uni… Continue

I'd built the time machine, and decided to go for it, talk about jumping out into the dark. I don't want to bore you with M Theory, suffice to say there are 13 dimensions, not 11 (sorry Mr Witten), and the 13th is an extra time dimension, curled up of course, the entire time-line of the Universe wrapped into the Planck Time, about a billion trillion trillionth of a second.

So if you know how to wire up a few tightly wound coils and hit the right frequency, you can move across billions of years… Continue

I just found out the Moon is moving away from the Earth at about 3.5 centimetres per year ... THAT'S WELL OVER AN INCH ! As if I haven't got enough to worry about what with global warming, global recessions, stegosaurus flu (yeah yeah, you're saying you never heard of that one, well I bet it's out there somewhere...).

And it's the last ever series of ER, the sunspot minimum is the deepest for a century and beer has just gone up 20p a pint at my local. As if all this isn't enough to worry about… Continue

I was away on holiday when the new neighbours moved in so I didn't see any of them. But standing in my local pub on the day I arrived back some people I knew presented me with a petition, "You should sign that," they told me, "after all you live next door to them." I brushed it off, I've never like petitions much, if I've got something to say I'll say it, I don't want my opinions written down by someone else and used for their purposes.

So next day I'm mowing the lawns and my new neighbour call… Continue
