A place to come and talk about the geometry of the universe.
Sagittarius A* and where is the Sun?
gamma ray bursts
gravitational waves.
What will James Webb see?
How to test different models?
Python, matplotlib, scipy, astropy
units and constants. Hubble and c
But maybe Hubble's not constant?
From Einstein and Fred Hoyle to the James Webb telescope and beyond.
I grew up in Yorkshire, UK and always had an interest in space.
I was lucky enough to be taught by Colin Rourke, when studying mathematics at Warwick some 40 years ago.
After graduating I worked with computers for all my career, using python and linux almost exclusively since 2000.
This included a period of many years living and working in Dublin, when I first discovered the python world.
My interest in space-time has been rekindled by Colin Rourke's work, after many years of assuming astronomy only had minor details to work out.
I am now semi-retired, teaching skiing in the winter and do some python mentoring as well.
I write code to help me explore the universe.
