Hi, Welcome to my website!

What's here?

I'm hoping to put up some of my creative output from my day job as a physics researcher and my work as a disciple of Jesus building up others through the Word. I'll also post other random thoughts and things that come to mind. At the moment this includes a demo from my masters project and a few blog posts.

Why the quote?

The footers of this website feature a verse from the Bible, which is a bit of a manifesto for my work as a scientist who follows the Lord Jesus. The writer of this poem viewed the creation and its history as the work of a mighty ruling God, who loves his people. The LORD's works are seen when we look back at his salvation in Christ, and also as we look around us at the created order he sustains each day. They are works which we have ponder, seek out, think about in order to appreciate them. Charles Spurgen wrote about this verse saying:

Because the works are great they cannot be seen all at once, but must be looked into with care, and this seeking out is of essential service to us by educating our faculties, and strengthening our spiritual eye gradually to bear the light of the divine glory. It is well for us that all things cannot be seen at a glance, for the search into their mysteries is as useful to us as the knowledge which we thereby attain.

At its best, learning physics (or any other science) is like that. We gradually pick apart the world we see around us, and seek out ways of descibing it in concepts and mathematics. And as we go along we gradually unearth new works of God to marvel at.

When opening the Cavenidish Lab in Cambridge James Clerk Maxwell requested that this verse be put on the doors to summarise the big picture aim of their work: seeking out the works of God in the physical world, and delighting in them.
