Biography
I am an architect based in Motherwell, Scotland, with over 20 years of experience working directly for local authorities on public-sector projects. My portfolio, valued at over £40m, includes new-build schools, nurseries, public housing, extensions, and the renovation and conversion of listed buildings. Like the academics I now correspond with, my work is funded by public money and delivered in service of public benefit.
Alongside my architectural career, I have maintained a lifelong interest in physics and astronomy. Trained to think in terms of structure, materials, geometry and load paths, I approached the foundational problems of modern physics as a design challenge: given the observational constraints, what kind of physical medium could produce them?
Elastic Spacetime Theory is the result of that reverse-engineering process, treating spacetime not as abstract geometry but as a physical hyperelastic medium whose deformations and defects generate particles, forces, and cosmic structure. The framework is organised around testable predictions and designed to be falsifiable by upcoming observational data.
Computational Methodology
The Elastic Spacetime Theory (EST) framework is an independently developed physical and conceptual architecture. To translate these geometric load-paths into formal mathematical notation and standard academic typesetting, I utilize advanced Large Language Models (including ChatGPT, Gemini, and DeepSeek) as computational and formatting engines.
Much like an architect uses CAD software to calculate structural tolerances and draft blueprints, these tools are employed strictly for symbolic derivation checks, literature cross-referencing, and LaTeX generation. The foundational axioms, physical hypotheses, and ultimate conclusions of EST remain entirely my own.
