By making my PhD thesis Open Access, I hope to inspire people
around the world to look up at the stars and not down at their feet;
to wonder about our place in the universe and to try and make sense
of the cosmos. Anyone, anywhere in the world should have free,
unhindered access to not just my research, but to the research
of every great and enquiring mind across the spectrum of human understanding.
Each generation stands on the shoulders of those who have gone before them,
just as I did as a young PhD student in Cambridge, inspired by the work of
Isaac Newton, James Clerk Maxwell and Albert Einstein.
It's wonderful to hear how many people have already shown and
interest in downloading my thesis - hopefully they won't be
disappointed now that they finally have access to it! |
