About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Bust as much stride piano as possible. Find a grand unifying theory.

ABOUT ME

I enjoy listening to and trying to play music. I also think physics and its philosophical implications are pretty wicked. I'm excitable and I like listening to people talk about what they like to talk about.

From January I will be living in Berlin doing a physics project in Humboldt University and trying to learn German.

PHILOSOPHY

"Just because you ain't paranoid, don't mean they're not out to get you." No this is merely a quote by Jerry Garcia I like. I suppose I'm a sceptical structural realist.
