Francesco Moretti

Francesco has spent his entire life helping himself and others to learn in a wide range of fields and to stand out of the crowd becoming independent thinkers. In physics, he has given his small contribution to the assigned Nobel prize 2023. In music, he has tried new ways of performing outside the schemes of classical music. Passionate of human behaviour, in his recent experience in tech he understood from the beginning that, other than just offering his analytical skills, the greatest contribution he could give was in the field of soft skills. So, he volunteered in leading and creating ERGs, continuously training himself to become a better ally. If one can't find him, he is probably walking in some forest.

John Gill

John Gill

I grew up in the same small Yorkshire town as Fred Hoyle, the astronomer who coined the term Big Bang.

Later I studied mathematics at Warwick University, with Professor Colin Rourke as my personal tutor.

It was over 20 years ago, working in Dublin that I discovered python, and soon after matplotlib.

I contributed a table module to matplotlib, and a version of this now resides in blume, which is intended to explore tables more generally. My idea was to create a few examples as I explored data sets that interested me and use that to shape the table module.

Seven years ago Rourke published, "A New Paradigm for the Universe". It outlines a complete model for the universe, without the need for dark matter or dark energy.

When the second edition was published, under the new title, The Geometry of the Universe, I started the gotu project, to help me explore the ideas in the book and test the theories in the book with the incredible data available from space based missions.

Rourke's theory suggests that Fred Hoyle was correct after all and the Big Bang did not happen. With JWST showing fully formed galaxies soon after the Big Bang, it is a theory that deserves investigation.

My goal with the gotu project is to raise awareness of Rourke's work and enable others to explore his ideas with python software and matplotlib visualisations.
