I'm just visiting SporeWiki for a short time today, so I'm not logging on, but as it's been over a month since you asked, I might as well reply now.

Yes, the University of Nottingham is where I am, but no, I've not met them. A quick look at the list of first-year physics tutorial groups shows that there's a lot of physics staff (if all physicists here have a first-year tutorial group, then that means there's around 40 of them in total; if not, then there's even more).

On momentons, no; the subject of negative mass hasn't really come up yet. I also still find the idea of introducing infinite-velocity tachyons to resolve conservation of momentum violations to be a bit... strange. :P

And one last thing: I remember you wondering about whether maths is "invented or discovered", as I think your words were. I've thought about my views on this and I think I can put them into words better now. I'll try to remember to tell you next time I'm here.
