This is essentially a simple extension to my personal website but it is also linked strongly to the Virtual U3A Workspace. This is a members only website but you can find out about the vU3A by going to vu3a.org . or vu3a.org.uk This is a social and educational website based on giving a U3A like experience in writing on line.
Visit u3a.org.uk for more information about the U3A or University of the Third age. This is one of the fastest growing social organisations in the UK
Everyone has open reading access to these pages and you are very welcome to send me comments questions and reqursts If I think that they are important and of general interestI will copy and paste the comments and my replies here. I will usually reply to them reasonably quickly.
You can contact me by email ianksoulsurfer@gmail.com but please put my workspace name in the heading or I may reject it as spam.
Latest projects
*Observational Astronomy Live Online
Would you like to spend an hour or two on a clear night at Tiverton Devon sitting in the comfort of your own home looking through an amazing remote controlled continuous integrating imaging telescope and discussing what you are looking at and any other astronomical topics. Follow the title link for more information and contact me to be included in my email list for a zoom link.
Longer term projects links
The following links lead you to the various sections of this site you can also make use of the Navigator, side bar and activity links to fully explore this site.
CV and personal information
The latest description of my scientific thought processes on Episodic and Evolutionary cosmology
*The Proposal This is a different approach to presenting the information as a study proposal
This is an index page and links into the latest pages with more detailed information on their content it also introduces new pages that are in preparation on this subject. Possibly the best lead in to the work.
Direct links to papers and pages
A popular science first principles article on the subject
An Ideas Map approach to Episodic Cyclic and Evolutionary cosmology
The index page to a new formal paper Work in progress
A popular science presentation that leads into cosmology
Earlier work
The Original 2015 Paper
Rethinking our route to a theory of everything
Even earlier thinking on this subject
This is the main core of my current thinking that looks at the limits of physics and cosmology. A well observed and commented on fact is that the physical laws in our universe appear to be very carefully balanced to allow the complexity (including life) that has developed in it.
The general current approach to looking at this problem is that we live in a universe that is extremely improbable if we assume that, at the origin of universes (however that happens) the physical laws are "randomly" adjusted.
The generally accepted idea is that there must be a very large number of substantially isolated universes or "Multiverse" in "the bulk" The sum total of everything that exists whether we can detect it or not.
If however the physical laws in our universe "evolved" in such a way as to favour complexity, this may not be the case.
This concept is taken from the possibility of evolutionary drivers that occurred during the "Big Bang". Right through to in an idea that may well be provable as true or false that universes actually seed new universes during their lives thus allowing a true "survival of the fittest" i.e. the longest lived with most progeny, approach to a complete cosmology and theory of everything.
This takes you to the page that is linked from my normal web address
Some ideas that I am trying to develop and discuss and relates the ideas above back down to a hueman scale via our familiar darwinian evolution through to human interactions and the internet.
This page puts a link into the religious or "Insiders" side of the "evolutionary philosophy" bridge. It also gives a more detailed insight into my religious thinking as an Atheist who is a practicing member of the Church of England.
Pages developed for the Vitrual University of the Third Age I hope to eventually develop an open access image of useful material that I have created in this closed website
This is mostly stuff that I have written as part of the amateur writers group of the Tiverton U3A
This is an experimental website for the bowls club that I am a member of it is rather out of date and has ben superseded by
