How Quantum And Cosmological Parameters Might Be Incorporated Into Modified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND)
Geoff has shown how the Modified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND) theory of gravitation may incorporate Quantum Theory parameters, galactic redshift and the Cosmic Microwave Background Temperature.
He predicts that MONDian gravitational acceleration might have been higher for high redshift galaxies formed early after the 'Big Bang'. James Webb Space Telescope observations show that early galaxies (redshift >5) are more well developed, more condensed and contain massive and super massive Black Holes larger than predicted by the conventional cosmological standard model. ​​

"Fancy Meeting You Here!"
The Mathematics of Spooky Encounters
Many of us have been surprised to meet a friend in a distant unexpected place such me finding a near neighbour visiting a remote monastery in Minorca. Or finding the car next to mine in an Arizona car park having a registration plate one digit different from my car. I have worked out the chances of such unexpected encounters and they turn out not to be as freaky as thought.

TESTING YOUR SHORT-TERM MEMORY
​A simple method for testing your short-term memory is described based on the children's card game of 'Pairs'.
This is not intended to provide any sort of monitor for the onset and development of brain function - dementia, etc. It is a game that tests and monitors your ability to remember items in the short-term.
