About

I aspired to theoretical particle physics in my misspent youth, but felt myself drowning in abstraction and saw no future in it. After 40 years of earning an honest living, I no longer walk with the gods on the nirvanic plane. But in retirement, I return to physics “like a dog to his vomit in the morning”.
