Wasdale

I am a retired physics teacher and my hobbies include travelling abroad, computer programming, listening to and performing classical music, walking in the fells, landscape photography and making models. A number of photograph albums of my travels will be found in PHOTO ALBUMS, the most recent being Harz Mountains (2023)

I publish here a number of articles and computer programs which may be of interest to a wider public.

The following items have been added within the last year or so:

• Suspended RealityA detailed look at my interpretation of Quantum Theory
• Free Will- Adapted from Chapter 6 of my book on Consciousness
• Ant WorldA pretty comprehensive survey of Langton's Ant and other related bugs.
• Sun Dogs and HalosThe physics behind rainbows and ice halos.
• A critical look at Carlo Rovelli's arguments for Free Will
• Comments on 'Sentience' by Nicholas Humphrey
• Linton v Solms- A short ctitique of the main points in Solm's book 'The Hidden Spring'.
• Puzzles and Paradoxes in Relativity and Cosmology

VBRHAPSODY is a fully featured music notation editor which is comparable to other programs costing hundreds of pounds. VBRhapsody is freeware.

The BOOKS folder contains links to the books I have written.
Some of them have been published by WOODEN BOOKS; others are available in printed form from LULU or in pdf format.

The ARTICLES folder contains a collection of essays on some of my favorite subjects: Relativity, Quantum Theory and Consciousness, music etc..

A collection of articles on mathematics can be found in the MATHEMATICS folder.

The MUSIC folder contains pdf files of some of the music I have written both for SATB chorus and piano.

The SOFTWARE folder contains a miscellaneous collection of programs which I have written using VB.net. These programs are published under the terms of the Open Content license and in many cases full source code is included.
