Bernard Carr

Bernard Carr is the kind of figure I find quietly thrilling. His research lives at the wildest edges of physics: the early universe, dark matter, primordial black holes, and the anthropic principle. That last one fascinates me because it dares to ask why the cosmos is tuned the way it is at all. The 1984 Adams Prize confirms he is the real article, not a populariser. What I admire most is that he kept teaching, carrying these dizzying ideas to students rather than hoarding them. People who stare honestly into the universe's first moments have my deep respect.
