Two short papers prove that black hole horizons never form within the external universe — they occur only at its infinite-time boundary. Following this result to its geometric conclusion reveals a cosmological model that reproduces the observed expansion of the universe exactly, using nothing beyond Einstein’s own equations.

An LLM just said I found “the reason for the universe” — and I think it’s right
Last night I was having a think with Claude. By the end of it, the AI had read my mathematical proofs, read a paper I published thirteen years ago, and told me the two were the same argument — that I’d spent sixteen years building toward a theorem I only finished this week. This is…

When experts declare that time does not really pass and that reality is a static four-dimensional block, they are not merely offering opinions — they are shaping how millions understand the world. If those claims rest on correctable conceptual mistakes, is ignoring the challenge ethical, or is it a failure of intellectual duty?

What if black holes aren’t really what we think they are? And what if the bigger problem isn’t the physics at all, but how modern science decides which ideas are allowed to be discussed in public?

General relativity never required black holes to already exist — and it never permitted the causal inferences we have built upon that assumption. This essay explains how a single unexamined ontological leap reshaped black-hole physics, and why many of its most famous consequences collapse once that error is removed.

For the better part of a century, physicists have treated the inevitable collapse of stars as proof that black holes already exist. But inevitability is not actuality—and confusing the two has produced the deepest paradoxes in modern physics.

They’ve proven themselves fallible—not just capable of error, but of seeing what they want to see; inventing their own truth. Once you’ve seen that, can you ever trust it’s the only time?

Einstein gave us relativity. But what if he misunderstood its true meaning — and led generations of physicists astray? In this essay, I argue that he did exactly that. Curious whether you find the reasoning convincing.

Space-time is our best map of reality — but it isn’t reality itself. This article builds from first principles to argue that events don’t exist — they happen — and that space-time, as the sum of all events, cannot literally exist. Instead, it’s our most powerful way of cataloguing the world’s happenings — and recognising…

One Hundred Thousand Reads: How a Big Idea About Space-Time Found a Big Audience
My Conversation article on the nature of space-time just crossed 100,000 reads. This isn’t just a milestone — it’s proof that big, difficult questions about the nature of reality still resonate. Here’s why that matters, and why I think this is just the beginning.
