Eric Baird

Eric Baird specialises in niche areas of science at the edge of established knowledge.

After starting out in audio synthesiser and software design, he then started one of the more popular relativity websites in the 1990's, and has contributed to theoretical work on warp drive theory, wormholes, classical Hawking radiation, next-generation relativity theory and "atomistic" fractals, and has so far written two books: "Relativity in Curved Spacetime" (ISBN 0955706807), and "Alt.Fractals: A visual guide to fractal geometry and design" (ISBN 0955706831).

He enjoys coffee, unconventional geometry, noticing things that other people have missed, improbable coincidences, and watching the catastrophic breakdown of complex systems. He does not have a cat, and is not the author of a series of books on horses. His personal blog is at http://erkdemon.blogspot.com/ .
