Hi Justin

Thank you for your question.

I am not aware that there are any on-line profiles based on my pseudonym. It was important to me, my publishers, and my reviewers that I should not be seen to have any bias when presenting the evidence, and to empower readers with the opportunity to make their own honest and impartial assessments of the facts.

What I can tell you is that I studied different aspects of science, and from this, I have a number of highly specialised senior scientists, (across very diverse fields), amongst my group of friends, colleagues, and contacts. I have been sharing knowledge, findings, and ideas with them for over 30 years.

My research has also extended to the history and philosophy that surrounds debates about the nature of existence, and its evolution over the centuries.

It is hard to conceive how anybody could be a ‘driving force’ or ‘front-line expert’ across all aspects of this very broad subject area. Normally it would be one or two fields of research out of hundreds. We all have our strengths, but we have to draw on the expertise of others when we venture beyond our specialist areas. I have been fortunate that my contacts have allowed me to do this.

While science has served to narrow the debate on the nature of existence by focussing on proven facts, it was interesting to see that in recent decades, debates on old principles have been re-opened due to many new scientific findings which have directly challenged old principles. It should be an honest position for any scientist to consider all alternative explanations, where old ones start to become impossible due to the new evidence - not out of any religious fervour.

When the amount of ‘awkward evidence’ began to mount across many disciplines, that ‘deterministic principles’ could have their limits, it seemed strange that people were not publicly debating the issues – and for the most part I felt that this was due to a general lack of awareness – not because the facts are disputed. Hence the books.

You asked specifically about Quantum Mechanics, which of course is based on manipulating probabilities rather than the single outcomes expected from determinism. In broad terms, it is interesting to see how younger generations seem more willing to consider the possible 'reality of true randomness' when older generations have tried to hold the line on strict determinism. I feel it is a debate worth having.

I hope this helps, and that the books will spur you and others to enter the debate.

Should Maths & Determinism Dominate Science?

I have been surprised at how often I am approached at my lectures, or at book events, by people who struggle to believe one of the core principles that underpins scientific thinking – the principle that I label as ‘strict causality’ or the philosophy of Determinism. There are even some scientists who can fail to recognize it, and yet it is self-evident in the mathematics that they use to prove vir Read more of this blog post »

“A truly new thought or decision is a moment of creation that science cannot explain because it requires either randomness or spontaneity.”
Christophe Finipolscie, Our Existence Part 1: The Nature and Origin of Physical Reality

“Thought is the only thing that can cause Matter/Energy to deviate from its inevitable chemical path.”
Christophe Finipolscie, Our Existence Part 2 : The Nature and Origin of Life, Mind, & Soul

“All scientific and philosophical ideas about the nature of our existence claim that our experience of life is different to the underlying reality. We are all living in an illusion to some degree. The choice for you is to determine how deep the illusion might go.”
