My current research is on the potential interactions between physics and theology, especially the ontological significance of quantum field theory and general relativity, and the fine-tuning of the cosmos. There are important aspects of well-established physics and its descriptions of the fundamental nature of reality which physicists are usually incapable of talking about intelligibly in words, and which are very different from what most people might imagine them to be. These ideas seem to me to be highly significant for anyone pondering the nature of our existence, but theologians and philosophers tend not to access this territory due to it being expressed in very challenging mathematics. Quantum field theorists tend to want to do calculations without talking about their meaning, while many theologians feel more at home in reinterpreting medieval views of ancient Greek philosophy. I am working towards writing my third book, which I hope will help to bridge this divide.
